Ben Greenfield changed his mind about GLP-1 drugs and now uses tiny doses of retatrutide three times a week. He's not doing it for weight loss but to reduce food cravings, manage cholesterol and triglycerides, and lower inflammation in the brain.
Retatrutide
Three times a week
I mean most recent example of that, like for better or worse. I don't know what you think about this, but I used to be like up till 8 months ago like super on the anti GLP1 bandwagon. I've kind of changed my stance on them because most of those problematic side effects you see at standard doses and if you look at like a really small dose, like for example, I inject retatrutide right now three times a week. And it's not because I'm like morbidly obese or have diabetes or want to lose weight or manage blood sugar control. It's for two reasons. A, there is more and more research coming out on GLP1s and what are called the pleiotropic effects. Pleiotropic means like system wide effects like on neural inflammation and on cholesterol health and triglyceride management and a host of factors related to having a healthy metabolism. Again at very small doses. The other thing is it kind of quiets food noise a little bit. And if GLP1 and these kinds of peptides can help people not taking as many calories, it's I think ultimately look the baby dose because some people be like, well now you got to be on this for life. You no longer self control the baby dose. I would even consider that to be like training wheels to learn how to eat or at least control your eating habits a little better.
