GLP-1 drugs are often hailed as ‘miracle treatments’—tackling not just diabetes and obesity, but also conditions like heart disease, infertility, and even sleep apnea. But what makes them effective isn’t magic; it’s the activation of AMPK. This same metabolic pathway can be naturally activated through lifestyle choices, especially with your diet. Dr. Barry Sears and Mary Perry dive into how this works and why AMPK might just be the key to unlocking better health with less of a need for medication.
