Oral vs. Injectable GLP-1s: Are they really the same?
GLP-1 medications are changing the conversation around weight loss, metabolic health, and longevity—but there is a lot more to taking a GLP-1 than just taking an injection or a pill.
In this episode of Cell to Systems, we break down the key differences between oral and injectable GLP-1 medications, including what the research shows about effectiveness, absorption, and long-term outcomes.
But the real question isn't just how much weight you lose...
Muscle mass is one of the strongest predictors of healthspan and longevity. Losing weight at the expense of muscle may improve the scale, but it can negatively impact strength, metabolism, recovery, and healthy aging.
In this clip, we discuss why muscle preservation should be part of every GLP-1 conversation and what strategies may help protect it during weight loss.
🎙️ Watch the full episode of Cell to Systems to learn how to approach GLP-1 therapy with long-term health in mind—not just short-term weight loss.
