I get asked once a day about GLP’s and my opinion about them.
I think it absolutely depends on the patient. And to be honest with you, the working theory behind GLP’s actually makes sense in my brain and it has been life changing for some people But these shots don’t come without risk or side effects and are sometimes misused or prescribed at too aggressive of a dose. Then, in the nutrition/supplement world, there seems to be a new “GLP supplement” that hits the market daily, as many of these companies are trying to jump on the band wagon – promising magical results with questionable research behind their product. I’ve been hesitant to recommend much in the supplement world around weight loss because I’m just such a fan of healthy eating, lifestyle choices, stress management, exercise and sufficient sleep. However, I’ve seen the look of pure frustration on my patient’s faces when they’ve done everything I’ve asked them to, and they still can’t seem to drop a pound. I don’t blame them for being frustrated. Recently, a company called Mara Labs+, which was started by molecular researchers from Harvard and Yale, (and they still work and do research there) came up with their own GLP nutritional product based upon exciting research they had meticulously conducted in their labs.
***Their product, called GL-Perfect***
GL-Perfect is a natural weight support solution designed to help you regulate appetite, reduce cravings, support metabolic health and promote fat loss without the side effects of prescription drugs. It works by delivering key bioactive compounds in a highly absorbable form to influence pathways that control metabolism, hunger and glucose regulation. The 3 main ingredients are:
ALPHA LIPOIC ACID:
• Powers mitochondrial energy via the Krebs Cycle
• Enhances insulin function and blood sugar control
• Reduces appetite by influencing satiety signals
BIOAVAILABLE BERBERINE HCL
• Activates AMPK, the cell’s energy “fuel gauge”
• Helps stimulate GLP-1 secretion
• Regulates gut microbiome and reduces fat storage
• Improves insulin sensitivity
BIOAVAILABLE EGCG (Green Tea Extract)
• Boosts thermogenesis and calorie burning
• Reduces visceral fat
• Modulates hunger hormones like ghrelin
• Enhances GLP-1 naturally
These are ingredients that I’m sure you’ve heard of, or even taken before. But it’s the word “bioavailable” that counts here. Their form of these ingredients are much more concentrated, and over 100X easier to absorb and be put to use compared to less bioavailable forms.
I will admit….I was skeptical. But I tried a bottle and noticed that within a few days, the “food noise” in my brain was quieter. I wasn’t constantly thinking about my next snack or meal or what I wanted to munch on. It supported my desire to stop snacking between meals and to be able to eat less when I did sit down for dinner.
For those of you that know me, you’ve heard me say “Supplements are meant to supplement” and I mean that. This isn’t a magic pill if you aren’t willing to make the dietary and lifestyle changes that go along with it. But it sure can help support your insulin and hunger systems if you are needing a little help. And as us doctors here at the clinic dove deeper into the research behind this product, we found ourselves very impressed and even willing to bring it onto our shelves here at CCFHL to sell.
So, it’s January and if you are wanting to jump start a healthier body composition this year, I would advise giving this a try for 3 months. 1 cap with breakfast and 1 cap with dinner. Each bottle would be a 30 day supply at that dose. Feel free to stop by and pick up your bottle today!
