There was an incredible superstar line-up of presentations and speakers at the The Institute for Functional Medicine #AIC2024. One panel discussion stands out because included a multidisciplinary panel - MD, ND, APRN, and a PharmD 🙌🏽 Here are the top 3 things I learned about GLP-1s that I think are wroth highlighing: ✨️ Topical compounded metformin can be a great alternative in patients with GI side effects ✨️ Studies have shown reduced inflammation, lower Nf-kB and as much as a 30% reduction in hsCRP ✨️ When we're working on weight loss and actively trying to mitigate muscle loss, sure protein has to be a priority, but the conversation has to also include fiber and behavior change. Truely a great discussion, and FWIW I really loved the format 🤓👏🏽 👉🏽 What have you been seeing in your patients on GLP-1? Shilpa P.
