The Science Behind GIP: Friend, Foe, or Both?

What if I told you there’s a hormone that can be boosted in one weight-loss drug and blocked in another—and somehow both approaches lead to weight loss? Sounds wild, right? Today, we’re diving into the fascinating science behind GIP (Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Peptide), a hormone that plays a dual role in some of the most exciting weight-loss medications.

From Mounjaro, which enhances GIP alongside GLP-1, to MariTide, which takes the opposite approach by blocking GIP, we’ll unravel how these strategies work and what they mean for your weight-loss journey. Whether you’re Team Enhance or Team Block, the science behind these approaches is nothing short of groundbreaking.

Join me as I break down the GIP paradox in simple terms—perfect for anyone curious about how cutting-edge medications can shape the future of obesity management. Let’s explore how this hormone might just be the key to unlocking your health goals!

Do GLP-1 Medications Increase Thyroid Cancer Risk?

A new study has raised concerns about GLP-1s like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro—but is the fear justified? I break down the real findings, the role of early detection bias, and what it actually means for GLP-1 users. Get the facts, not the fear.

Wegovy, Zepbound & Heart Failure

Wegovy and Zepbound are showing promise in treating heart failure, especially in individuals with obesity. Recent studies suggest that these medications could improve heart function, reduce inflammation, and help with weight management.

Switching from Wegovy to Zepbound: Can You Stack Weight Loss?

Switching from Wegovy to Zepbound doesn’t guarantee more weight loss. Wegovy targets GLP-1, while Zepbound works on both GLP-1 and GIP, which may offer additional benefits. But weight loss isn’t stackable—most people won’t lose more just by switching. I explain what to expect and who might benefit from the switch.
