A Cornucopia of News for You
Kristen Brown, ARNP-C — November 22, 2024
We got such good feedback from you all about our last post regarding the Role of GLP-1s in metabolic health, autoimmune disease, and inflammation that I thought I’d send a put together a short update about the role of these peptides in reducing the risk cardiovascular disease.
GLP-1 Medications: A Game-Changer for Cardiovascular Health
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) medications, such as semaglutide, are transforming how we address chronic diseases, especially when it comes to reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). These medications, originally developed to manage blood sugar levels in Type 2 diabetes, have shown remarkable benefits for heart health. By improving glycemic control, reducing inflammation, and promoting weight loss, GLP-1 medications significantly lower the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events.
Microdosing peptides like semaglutide is gaining attention in the functional medicine world. This approach allows patients to experience benefits while minimizing potential side effects. In addition to improving heart health, GLP-1 medications can help with sustainable weight management, reducing abdominal fat – a critical factor in CVD prevention.
At Altheda Health, we integrate cutting-edge treatments like GLP-1 medications into personalized care plans. Our functional medicine approach goes beyond symptom management, addressing root causes to optimize your overall health.
