Although I’ve had a positive experience with GLP-1s, I’ve heard from many who haven’t. So, I dive deep into potential reasons behind this phenomenon, including gut-brain axis disruption, neurotransmitter imbalances, and rapid weight loss. I also share solutions to help mitigate these effects. If you’ve felt low on GLP-1s or are considering using them, this video is for you. Let’s break down how to use these peptides to enhance life without compromising mental health.Timestamps:0:00 – Introduction1:02 – Common reports of depression on GLP-1 peptides2:00 – My support for GLP-1s and personal experiences4:58 – Gut-brain axis disruption: How it might contribute to depression7:40 – Changes in appetite and emotional coping mechanisms11:13 – Neurotransmitter imbalances and mineral depletion14:47 – Thyroid downregulation from rapid weight loss16:39 – Reproductive hormone downregulation19:02 – Sleep disturbances on GLP-1 peptides21:41 – Confronting reality without compulsive behaviors25:21 – Conclusion and takeawaysJoin me as we uncover the underlying factors and how to address them for a better GLP-1 experience.
