GLP-1 Agonists and the Gut Microbiome: Unveiling Their Role in Metabolic Health

The Dr. Tyna Show Episode 172 

In this episode of The Dr. Tyna Show, I discuss a groundbreaking study on GLP-1 receptor agonists, focusing on how they influence the gut microbiome in favor of improving metabolic health. 

I’ve long speculated that these peptides not only aid in weight loss by reducing hunger but also alter gut flora — which could lead to improved insulin sensitivity and possibly reduced obesity risks. 

Until recently, most data were from animal studies, but this new research reveals human-specific findings, showing how long-term use of Dulaglutide, a GLP-1 agonist, can potentially decrease harmful gut bacteria while promoting beneficial strains. 

I don’t understand healthcare professionals who dismiss GLP-1s. And I explain why in this episode. They just don’t understand the peptide’s broader impacts on metabolism. 

I also highlight the importance of diversity in gut flora and emphasize how dietary and environmental factors play crucial roles in maintaining this balance.
