Episode #129: Weight Loss Results with New GLP-1 Agonist, Mounjaro & Ozempic Comparison
My guest this week is Caleb Greer, FNP-C.
This is one of the most anticipated episodes and I have a 3rd time guest! Caleb (he’s a favorite in this community!) and I discuss one of the current universally hot topics, GLP-1 agonists! Caleb breaks down what is a GLP-1 agonist, what are Semaglutides (Ozempic) and the new predecessor, GLP-1 agonist, Tirzepatide, a class of peptide that is being touted as the closest to a fat loss holy grail in a long time! Could Tirzepatide be a magical support for fat loss? Before you race to get it, there are very important pieces to learn on dosing and side effects/”black box warnings” because as we all know, there are no free passes in life…
Caleb does a comparison between these two drugs (Ozempic vs Tirzepatide), as well as discusses the results his patients have had with both, the promising benefits for those with high cholesterol, who is eligible for a prescription, health challenges with long-term use of PPIs and what to supplement with, and the foundations needed to be successful in any weight loss journey, because long term health is never just, “a pill for every ill”!

GUEST BIO
Caleb started his graduate educational journey at Parker University in Dallas, TX, where he accrued more than 2,000 hours studying and learning manual manipulation techniques. It was during this time that Caleb became immersed in clinical neuroscience and functional medicine. Despite the fondness of physical medicine, after acknowledging the limitations in the chiropractic scope Caleb decided to pursue a different track to become a nurse practitioner. He graduated with his Bachelor’s degree in nursing from The University of Texas at Arlington and Master's degree in nursing for family nurse practitioner (FNP) at Morningside College in Iowa. Caleb has now helped hundreds of individuals across the lifespan reintroduce and optimize function through a multidisciplinary approach that integrates neurology, psychology, epigenetics, nutrition, biomechanics, and medicine.

Berkeley Life is dedicated to supporting healthy nitric oxide levels. Nitric oxide is a vital molecule made naturally in the body, responsible for vasodilation and circulation. As we age we produce less, resulting in diminished blood flow. Berkeley Life supplements provide a dietary nitrate that the body converts into nitric oxide. This helps to maintain healthy circulation, delivering nutrients where they need to go. Nitric oxide also has topical impacts. Berkeley Life's new topical nitric oxide serum (which I LOVE!) combines vitamin C and nitrite to create nitric oxide gas directly on the skin delivering oxygen and nutrients.
Sponsor offer: Berkeley Life orders can only be made using a practitioner code … You can use mine! Consumers may register and place an order using my code NIDDBL for 10% off. Visit berkeleylife.com.
