Are peptides a “shortcut” for weight loss?

[00:00:00]Are peptides a shortcut to reversing insulin  resistance? Here's a quick breakdown. Peptides like semaglutide, tirzepitide, and retatrutide  are signalling molecules. They tell your body to reduce appetite, improve insulin response  and in some cases burn more energy. Semaglutide targets one receptor. trizepitide targets two and  retatrutide it targets three, including glucagon, which is why it's getting so much attention.  The third pathway increases energy expenditure.

[00:00:27]So, you're not just eating less, you're  actually burning more. But these peptides, they're not magic. They do make it a lot easier  to get your insulin resistance under control, and they have actually been shown to change  behaviours in a positive way. So, a shortcut, not exactly, more like a tool  to accelerate the process.
