Chapters

We've been able to use sort of a biohacking principle at allure with our patients. We treat to several, several thousand, where we put people on semaglutide at the regular escalating dose. It's 0.25 milligrams for the first four weeks. And it goes up and goes up and goes up. Right about 12 or 13 weeks, you start becoming very tolerant to the medicine. Doesn't work as well, and the weight loss slows down. What can we do then? We can actually stop the drug at that point. Stop it at about 13 weeks. That's the most rapid weight loss. At 13 weeks, stop the medicine altogether. Go on Metformin, which is a commonly used diabetic medicine, also used for pre diabetes. It's also being studied as a longevity drug. And the metformin dose doesn't have to be very high, usually even 850 milligrams just at night.
