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.
