Is MAHA really the answer?
Manage episode 467466057 series 3465740
After years of navigating the maze of traditional Western medicine, I've discovered a path that resonates with a more holistic approach to health and wellness. Join me, Lorayne Michaels, as I share my transformative journey into the world of functional medicine and the role GLP-1 medications like Ozempic have played in it. This episode promises to enlighten you on how addressing root health issues—such as hormonal imbalances and insulin resistance—can complement the rapid weight management results these medications offer. Through my personal battle with PCOS, I highlight the significance of embracing functional medicine and nutrition, showcasing how peptides and supplements have become essential parts of my wellness toolkit.
Curious about the potential pitfalls of relying solely on GLP-1s for weight loss? I discuss the critical importance of maintaining optimal nutrition to counteract possible nutrient deficiencies, advocating for a diet rich in protein and healthy fats. By focusing on understanding and addressing stress, inflammation, and gut health, we can pave the way for a comprehensive approach to becoming the healthiest versions of ourselves. I'm excited to engage in open discussions about the evolving landscape of functional medicine, especially with the increasing momentum seen alongside RFK's election. Whether you're a seasoned user of GLP-1s or just exploring your options, this episode offers valuable insights to guide your wellness journey.
