GLP Masterclass Summary - Module 1 - Inside the Pancreas—How GLP-1s Control Insulin and Glucagon
Dear Community Family: I have created a summary of the first video under GLP Masterclass. This is for easy reference and read - think of it as a ready reckoner. Feedback is welcome. Aaron, pls let me know if i had done justice to the great video you have created and uploaded. GLP-1 Mechanism - GLP-1 receptor agonists boost glucose-dependent insulin secretion and suppress glucagon, improving blood sugar control with minimal risk of hypoglycemia. Athletic Benefits - Protect insulin sensitivity during anabolic protocols and contest prep. - Enhance muscle glycogen storage for fuller muscles and increased training capacity. - Stabilize energy and mood through steady glucose levels. Pancreatic Longevity - Support β-cell survival and reduce metabolic stress, lowering long-term risk in enhanced athletes. Practical Guidelines - Use micro-doses for sensitivity resets without affecting nutrition. - Pair GLP-1s with low-glycemic carbs. - Monitor fasting insulin and C-peptide every 12–16 weeks to protect metabolic health.
