646. Why GLP-1s Will Never Fix Your Metabolism — But T2 + Glutathione Can: The Cellular Truth About Thyroid Optimization Nobody Is Telling You
About this episode
Dr. Amie Hornaman discusses why GLP-1 medications do not improve metabolism and the importance of T2 and glutathione in thyroid optimization.
GLP-1 medications can be effective tools for weight loss, but do they actually improve your metabolism? In this episode, I explain what the latest research says about GLP-1s, why muscle loss and a lower resting metabolic rate deserve more attention, and why appetite suppression isn't the same as metabolic health. We also explore what happens inside the cell, including the roles of thyroid hormones, mitochondria, T2, and glutathione in energy production. I'll share why I developed my new T2 Cream with glutathione and how it fits into a broader approach to supporting metabolism at the cellular level. What you’ll learn: Why weight loss doesn't always mean a healthier metabolism What GLP-1 medications can and can't do The connection between thyroid hormones and mitochondria Why muscle matters for metabolic health The role of T2 in cellular energy production Why glutathione was paired with T2 in the new cream How to think about metabolism beyond calorie restriction If you're looking for a more complete understanding of metabolism (whether you're using a GLP-1 or not) this episode is for you. You can check out my T2 cream here. Resources:T2 cream…
