This is a YouTube video titled "Is GLP-1 Causing You to Shrink the Wrong Things?" featuring Ben Greenfield discussing the effects of GLP-1 drugs on muscle and heart tissue, and recommending a Paleo autoimmune diet for surgery preparation.
In some cases, nearly half of the weight loss that people are getting from using a common GLP1 drug is from the loss of skeletal muscle mass. Now, in addition to that, there's now headlines that these GLP1 agonists that are shrinking waistlines are also shrinking the human heart. Right. Not just these other muscles, but actual cardiac muscle tissue. But in general, if I were going to get surgery, I would follow something pretty close to what is called the Paleo autoimmune diet, or also known as the aip. That diet focuses on nutrient dense antiinflammatory foods. Bone, broth. Dairy is kind of sort of okay if it's fermented and really organic and good natural dairy. But in most cases, even that's something that's limited compared to protein and healthy vegetables and healthy fats on a Paleo autoimmune diet.
