Advantage of Microdosing GLPs
About this video
In this short clip, the speaker argues that GLP-1 medicines are not meant to simply be stopped, and suggests microdosing instead to find a level where weight stays off on less medication. The speaker warns that cycling on and off can worsen body composition, because, the speaker says, regained weight is fat rather than the lean mass lost, so anyone coming off needs a game plan or bridging plan.
