Time restricted feeding and weight loss drugs
I've recently been started on a GLP1-GIP agonist medication (Mounjaro) for weight loss. It's effects in the GLP1-GIP pathway reduce appetite by inducing the feeling of fullness and by slowing gastric motility. I've also started time-restricted feeding and the protocol I use allows me to eat between 1pm and 7pm. My question is, would the benefits seen from extending the fasted state through time restricted feeding be counteracted by the effects of a prolonged feeling of satiety and slowed gastric motility from the medication?
The difference between glutamine and L-glutamine
The first time I heard about I-glutamine was from your podcast. I am thinking of purchasing it for a member of my family who has been fighting cancer. However, I am confused about the difference between glutamine and l-glutamine. I was wondering whether you could clear this confusion and share your opinion about it? Many thanks in advance.
Episode 94 Applied to Athletes
Hello, I was curious to know if there are any changes to the template you would recommend on episode 94 to athletes (specifically combat athletes like in Jiu Jitsu/MMA). I’ve been implementing the template in the morning and doing martial arts in the evening.
Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals & Everyday Products
I'm curious about endocrine disruptors. How harmful are they, are they sufficiently regulated in the U.S., and should we be more cautious about using them in our everyday lives? I'm thinking of makeup, hair products, fragrances, personal care products, plastics, non-stick pans, and flame-retardants, but I'm sure there's an extensive list out there. Thanks in advance!
Creatine and Sleep
Hello Dr. I've been supplementing with 3-5g of Creatine daily for nearly 2 months now and it has been a game changer, not just in terms of my physical performance, but also my overall cognitive ability. However, I've noticed that my sleep patterns have changed. I'm regularly getting by on 6h of sleep (and feeling absolutely fine afterwards) whereas I've always needed the good old 7/8h of sleep. I've read a bit about how creatine can make you need less sleep but couldn't find anything conclusive. Is this common and could it have any longterm side effects since I'm technically sleeping less? Thank you!
