Why do drugs like Ozempic work? In this episode of Piloting Health, Dr. Frank Dos Santos joins me once again for an in-depth look at the most talked-about drugs on the market right now: GLP-1 agonists.We break down exactly why the drugs cause weight loss, but also how that weight loss can lead to a reduced change of certain types of diseases. What is it about caloric restriction that can help stave off disease?  In this vein, we also talk intermittent fasting and I even espouse my theory that the body encourages fasting when combatting certain types of cancer. It goes without saying that any decision to begin any type of drug or medical regiment needs to be discussed with your physician, so we're not advocating for any individual to begin GLP-1 agonists or fasting but, in general, the results we're seeing from caloric restriction seem to be very positive in many circumstances.  In this episode, Dr. Dos Santos and I break down exactly why.To follow Dr. Dos Santos, you can find him on Instagram:@drfrankdossantosFollow Dr. Bob Hariri on his platforms here:Web: www.pilotinghealth.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbobhariri/X: https://twitter.com/DrBobHaririTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pilotinghealthLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drbobhariri/
