The trade-off is that it also slows down the entire intestinal tract, including the colon
Stimulate GLP-1 release Improve insulin sensitivity Support glucose regulation Statins reduce cholesterol production, which can : Change bile acid composition Reduce stimulation of these GLP-1-activating receptors Result in lower GLP-1 secretion 2 Changes in the gut microbiome Statins are consistently shown to alter gut bacteria sometimes beneficially, sometimes not
This warning is not based on human epidemiology alone but largely originates from rodent toxicology studies , where GLP-1 receptor activation led to: Increased calcitonin secretion C-cell hyperplasia C-cell adenomas and carcinomas in rats/mice These findings have been consistently observed across multiple GLP-1 receptor agonists
Today, though, we're zeroing in on one crucial aspect of that journey: your diet
