GLP-1 Agonists & Healthspan

Welcome to our dedicated space for the latest advancements in GLP-1 studies. Our clinical laboratory is dedicated to studying GLP-1 medications — the same class of drugs behind treatments like Ozempic and Mounjaro — to better understand their far-reaching effects on human health.

 

While these therapies are best known for managing blood sugar and promoting weight loss, our work explores their broader potential across the body, including protecting the heart, improving kidney function, supporting brain health and potentially slowing neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, reducing liver inflammation, and even influencing addiction and reward behavior.

 

Through active clinical studies and long-term outcome research, our goal is to understand not just how these medications work, but how they can be used most effectively to improve and extend the lives of our patients.

GLP-1 Landscape: Updated

METABOLIC SCIENCE

The Hormone That Rewired Medicine

 Science behind how the Incretin hormone released from intestinal L-cells enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion, suppressing glucagon, slowing gastric emptying, and promoting satiety, and myriad of other functions

DIABETES

The Drug Class That's Rewriting What We Thought Was Possible With Diabetes

New lab data indicates that GLP-1 signaling significantly enhances insulin secretion,  while preserving pancreatic beta-cell function and reduces cardiovascular risks

WEIGHT REGULATION

GLP-1 and Obesity: Rethinking Weight Regulation

An analysis of how GLP-1 therapy is shifting medical understanding from willpower-based weight loss to biological regulation.

HEART HEALTH

Cardiac Resilience and Inflammation

Exploring the role of GLP-1 in reducing systemic vascular inflammation and its long-term impact on cardiovasvular resilience.

BRAIN HEALTH
