The Truth About GLP-1 and Weight Loss: Dr. Lawry Han Explains

The modern healthcare system won't help you heal. It's designed to keep you sick and dependent on drugs. If you want to get well, you've got to get out of the system. You've found Predictive Health Clinic. Join us as we get well and stay healthy.

Jack Heald: Welcome to Predictive Health, folks. I'm glad to have you here today. I'm Jack Heald, and with me today is Dr. Lawry Han, who likes to go by Dr. H. So let's jump right into it, Dr. H. What one specific health issue do you want to address today?

Dr. Lawry Han: I want to talk about glucose control and weight.

Jack Heald: Okay, you got it. You got to explain that for us. The weight management, we understand, but whatever the other thing was, that's okay.

Dr. Lawry Han: Okay. Yeah, glucose control which means, you know, how to manage your blood glucose level. And body weight management is already very familiar people with those things.

And specifically, I want to talk a little bit more about Bodyweight management and its relationship to GLP 1 hormone. I want to primarily focus on body weight for this podcast. GLP 1 stands for glucagon like hepatitis 1. GLP 1 is a hormone primarily produced in the small intestine and plays a pivotal role in regulating blood glucose levels and your appetite. When you consume foods, especially carbohydrates, for example, GLP 1 is released to stimulate insulin secretion, promoting glucose uptake by your cells and thus reducing your blood glucose levels. It's the very nature of process. And GLP 1 also suppresses your appetite by interacting with your nervous system. So when your appetite was suppressed, you don't feel like you want to eat more food. So you feel like you want to eat less and then you do eat less. So if everything else stays the same and you eat less, you lose weight. GLP 1 also slows your gastric emptying and the bowel movement.

Jack Heald: It slows it?

Dr. Lawry Han: Yes. It slows gastric emptying and bowel movement.

Jack Heald: Does this mean you get more nutrition from what's there?

Dr. Lawry Han: That's probably not necessarily the case.

Jack Heald: It just slows you down.

Dr. Lawry Han: Yeah. I don't think we have done extensive studies on that aspect. It just slows down the process. Which means your foods stay longer in your digestive tract, right? So you feel fuller for a longer time, right? So you don't need to eat that much food and naturally, it helps with body weight loss, right? So that's a very natural process. So all of those effects and impacts of natural GLP-1 - help people control their blood glucose level and help people lose weight. However, I want to mention something. Many of you probably heard about the so-called Miracle GLP 1 weight loss drugs.

Jack Heald: That's actually why I got interested in what you were doing. You mentioned GLP 1 and I know that's huge right now for Ozempic is the one that comes to mind, but I think there are others as well.

Dr. Lawry Han: Yeah, Exactly. The chemical compound name is called a semaglutide. There are different versions of the chemical compounds, but essentially those so-called GLP 1 drugs are a class of medications that mainly help manage blood sugar or blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Some GLP 1 drugs can also help with obesity. they become so popular that people even call those miracle GLP 1 weight loss drugs, right? those drugs actually mimic the action of a natural hormone, GLP 1, which is released by the intestine in response to food intake. They work quite well for the purpose of controlling blood glucose level and for the purpose of lose some weight. However, they come with a long list of side effects. I'm sure we'll talk about this a little bit more in detail later. this weight management, specifically obesity and its relationship to GLP 1 natural hormone. This is the topic I want to focus on for this podcast.

Jack Heald: What got you interested in this, in GLP 1 and its relationship to glucose management and obesity and weight loss?

Dr. Lawry Han: Oh, that's a good question. How many hours do you have? Let me try to explain it in five minutes. And so I want to be thorough, but concise. So first I have always been interested in human health and helping people improve their health and wellness. I have worked in different sections of the human health sector, including pharmaceutical medical devices the nutraceutical products My earliest research related to hormone signalling went back to when I was doing my PhD training at the University of Utah, which is about 10 years ago. Ever since then, I have realized the ubiquity of hormone signalling across the species, and of course, including humans, and also, the importance of hormone health to overall human health.

Over the past 10 years, I've been actively researching and developing products to help people manage and improve their health, including of course, formal health, such as glucose control and weight management as well. as of now, I have developed over 100 products, published 40 peer-reviewed scientific biomedical research papers. which have been cited 1000 times by peer researchers Now, of course, I filed numerous patents in the human health sector. So it's really important to know that our industrialized, sedentary lifestyles have disrupted the health of our society.

It's basically people's hormone health. We humans now tend to overeat and gain unwanted weight, not sleep well, overuse, abuse, medications that can cause serious side effects. That was why I founded a biotech and research company to specifically help people achieve optimal health by restoring their hormone balance and preventing their hormone health. As for specifically what got me interested in this particular issue of glucose control and weight management and GLB1, the problem was that products in the marketplace have failed in delivering the expected outcomes. Products such as meal replacements, nutritional shakes, and supplements often come short of efficacy. Fitness and dieting programs are really hard to stick with. And that's not sustainable at all. Weight loss drugs such as the popular GLP 1 drugs we just talked about, including Ozempic, Wego V, and the ribosomes. They come with a long list of side effects including thyroid cancers. Of course, they're extremely expensive. They're about $1300 each month without insurance, and they also need doctor's prescriptions for you to get, and that's very limiting. So that was why I wanted to introduce something that is safe, natural, and effective for glucose control and weight management. So I have been working on this product called Monalean for quite a while. which is specifically designed to signal the human body's natural GLP 1 hormone. I filed a patent on this GLP 1 signalling technology. We completed a 12-week clinical study on Monalean. In this study, Monalean reduced fasting blood glucose level by 9 percent and reduced the hunger level,which means the feeling of hunger by 42 percent in those overweight adult women and men. Over the course of these 12 weeks using Monalean, those people also saw on average 8 pounds of weight loss and 19 percent of body fat loss. So these are really exciting and positive results. We are in the process of publishing this study. peer reviewed scientific and the medical journal so everyone can have access to it. So stay tuned.

Jack Heald: What's the biggest popular misconception about, I realize obesity and weight loss is a broad issue but your specific focus of dealing with the hormonal root causes of, that, that generate outcomes of obesity and all of the negative health situations associated with that. What's the biggest misconception there?

Dr. Lawry Han: The biggest popular misconception about obesity, weight management, or failing to manage one's own body weight, people think it's a problem of lacking willpower. That's completely wrong. It goes beyond a way beyond lacking willpower or not. So we already know that there are many factors that can cause people to overeat. cause people to move less, and eventually cause people to gain unwanted body weight. It's an extremely complex process that goes beyond willpower. So it's unfortunate and unfair to blame people for lack of willpower simply because they cannot properly manage their own body weight.

Jack Heald: That's actually a very hopeful statement.

Dr. Lawry Han: Obesity and weight management is a very complex problem that definitely needs a holistic solution. So it's a lifestyle matter that needs attention, not only from individuals but also from our community and our, the bigger society. So I think we all agree that each individual person is responsible for their own health, including body weight health. At the same time, it's also critical to understand that no single treatment or specifically no single medication is a cure for obesity. So this almost feels like cliche now, but a healthy lifestyle is the most effective way for weight management. So now what is a healthy lifestyle? In my opinion, there are five major components.

So first you want to make sure you sleep well, right? So it's generally recommended. that grown-ups need at least seven to eight hours of good-quality sleep each night. Sleep is very important for overall health. It's also very important for you to manage your body weight. It's counterintuitive for people to think that, oh, you sleep more, that can help you lose weight, but it's true. People who do not sleep well, they tend to gain unwanted weight. People who sleep well, they tend to lose weight more efficiently. The second, eat well. Eat means you need to eat diverse, balanced meals, specifically including colorful, non starch vegetables and fruits. This is very important because most Americans Do not eat enough non starch vegetables and fruits. Three, exercise regularly. Ideally, a combination of cardio training and resistance or strength training. So it's recommended an individual to exercise at least 150 minutes for those moderate to vigorous intensity exercise. So that's not a lot. It's about 30 minutes each day if you are doing this five days a week. So any type of exercise is actually good for your body. Number four, reduce the stress, especially chronic stress. Chronic stress can also cause you to gain some unwanted body weight. So try to reduce your stress to a level that you feel comfortable with. Number five, if you're already doing the number one, two, three, four, Pretty well, you can do something else to further up your game. For example, use some effective products for actual health. When I talk about products, not only talking about physical products you can take or use, but also include, for example, protocols or routines that can help with your goals. Whatever you are using product, you want to make sure those products are of high quality, they're scientifically studied, and they are clinically proven. But what's more important, and eventually, you need to make sure it works for you, because everyone is unique and different. A product that works for someone else may or may not work for you. The bottom line is that you want to use products that are of high quality, scientifically studied

Jack Heald: Sounds good. All right. Our next question is what's the likely outcome if people don't take action? I think most of us know it, but you're speaking as a scientist. So answer as a research scientist.

Dr. Lawry Han: There's just so many bad outcomes. So obesity can cause a lot of problems, including many life-threatening diseases. Just to name a few, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease and many others. Eventually, it can also shorten your lifespan by 10 years or even longer. It can also cause a lot of burdens to yourself and your loved ones beyond the health consequences. You're more likely to suffer from other diseases and thus more likely need care from your loved ones. Diseases cost a lot of money, so you and your loved one might suffer from financial challenges, right? Especially in the face of disability and hospitalizations, and those are really staggering statistics. Those are the major types of negative outcomes if people do not take action. those are the primary ones I want to share with people.

Jack Heald: Those are the big ones. All right. So let's move to answers. , What is the one specific action that our audience who's dealing with this particular issue that you recommend that they take to avoid or recover from this particular issue?

Dr. Lawry Han: As we talked earlier, I think we all agree that each individual person is responsible for their own health, including body weight health. no single treatment, specifically no single medication, is a cure for obesity at all. Period. A healthy lifestyle is the most effective way for weight management. This is really good news. Because it means there are a lot of things you can do to take care of your own body weight and your own health.

I strongly recommend the product we recently developed, which is called Monalean. Monalean is carefully formulated with safe natural ingredients, which is clinically proven to signal your natural GLP 1 hormone and thus support glucose control and body fat loss. What's the best compliment you've received? what's the best thing you've ever heard about your work?

Dr. Lawry Han: I'm a scientist and the research. I work on products. I work on science and the research. So the biggest compliment I got is when the product I researched and developed really helped someone to improve their health. That's probably one of the best parts I love about my work.

The purpose has always been using our research, using our science, using our products to help people improve their health and wellness, so they can live healthier and happier lives.

Jack Heald: What's the most common complaint that you get?

Dr. Lawry Han: Yeah. By the way, I got a lot of complaints as well, especially something did not work in the way a person expected, right? It could be that a product is not as effective as they hoped for, or it could be that there are some side effects that they do not like.

Sometimes there are very good reasons for these complaints. However, oftentimes it's primarily a disconnect between consumers expectations and what the products can really do. This is always something we as product researchers and scientists try to close the gap for and improve on. Over the past 10 years of extensive research and development experience, I found that oftentimes the most effective and the least complained products are the ones that are not only safe and natural, but also clinically proven, We only use natural ingredients that have been in the food supply chain for a long time and proven safe for human consumption. Everything needs to work seamlessly with your body, specifically with your body's natural response and the regulations, not against your body.

Second, we research at the source of the food our ingredients directly from nature. And third, we often seek inspiration from nature. Do you know that only less than 5 percent of identified land species have been studied for their medicinal benefits?

Dr. Lawry Han: Yeah, less than 5%. So there's so much to explore further. nature molecules, which are designed by nature of course have constantly won over even the best synthetical molecules. They're just simply better and safer. Nature has been the best master of hormones.

Jack Heald: Let's close it with the question that we always like to ask. If you could deliver just a single message about health. in eight words or less, what would that be?

Dr. Lawry Han: For obesity, use safe natural clinically proven products.
