Is losing the will to eat akin to losing the will to live? What happens when we totally lose our appetite and outsource our willpower to GLP-1 agonists? It's no surprise that we are not fans of semaglutide medications and feel that redefining your relationship with food is a far superior strategy for sustained weight loss. Tune in to hear us explore the idea that these drugs literally take away one’s will to live by driving anorexia and starvation.    In this episode, we discuss the mechanisms of GLP-1 agonists and how they cause loss of appetite. We discuss alternatives such as a high protein, polyphenol rich diet and a food as medicine keto approach which can naturally stimulate GLP-1.
