Medical Medium Podcast – Episode 126: GLP-1 Insanity

Host: Anthony William
Date: February 6, 2026

Episode Overview

In this eye-opening solo episode, Anthony William, the Medical Medium, takes a critical look at the booming popularity of GLP-1 drugs (such as Ozempic and Wegovy) in the context of weight loss and chronic illness. He challenges mainstream and alternative narratives around these drugs, exposing what he calls the “GLP-1 blunder”—a misguided, profit-driven approach to health that neglects the true root causes of weight gain and chronic disease. William shares his perspective, rooted in information he says comes from a higher spiritual source, and urges listeners to focus on genuine healing rather than pharmaceutical quick fixes.

Key Discussion Points

1. The GLP-1 Craze & Its Underlying Problems

Timestamps: 00:01–04:25

• William opens by acknowledging that most people quietly suffer with chronic symptoms—“Living with symptoms has become the new normal” (A, 00:01).
• He frames the surge in GLP-1 drug usage as symptomatic of a society addicted to instant gratification, calling it a “cheap pharmaceutical party trick” (A, 00:57).
• He criticizes health influencers and doctors for constantly shifting their advice and capitalizing on trends:
  “Money, money, money, money, money. That's the name of the game. And GLP-1 drugs are one of the ways the game is played.” (A, 1:37)

2. Debunking Scientific Claims About GLP-1 Drugs

Timestamps: 04:25–09:30

• William claims the theory that these drugs control appetite via gut hormones is unproven, stating science does not fully understand gastric processes: “Impossible to scientifically prove... science still doesn't know what happens to food when it enters the stomach.” (A, 4:31)
• He says the emotional state plays a far greater role in appetite and digestion than any hormone: “Sadness, happiness, pain, joy... can largely determine how the contents empty in the stomach. Not a hormone that science believes controls the satiation factor.” (A, 7:23)
• GLP-1 drug claims are characterized as just that—“theory, with no true understanding, no true facts, and no true evidence of any guaranteed measure” (A, 6:03).

3. The Real Dynamics Behind Weight Loss on GLP-1 Drugs

Timestamps: 09:31–15:10

• William details how most people on these drugs make concurrent lifestyle changes—diet shifts, more exercise, new routines—which muddies study “results”: “They look at food differently. They don’t just start scarfing down a bunch of food as they’re starting their GLP1 drug… they’re usually all in.” (A, 10:25)
• He identifies middle-aged women as a significant demographic seeking GLP-1s when other efforts fail.
• A striking insight:
  “Everybody's personal experience... it all adds up, it all counts. And it all plays a role. And every GLP1 user has a different result.” (A, 12:18)

4. Adrenaline, Appetite, and the “Injection High”

Timestamps: 15:11–19:05

• William introduces the “injection high”—a physiological response to injectable GLP-1s: “Like everybody else who uses GLP1 injections, they get an injection high. That injection high triggers off adrenaline. Appetite gets suppressed even more.” (A, 14:52)
• He describes a stress cascade involving the adrenals and liver, with potentially damaging effects: “The GLP1 injection alarms the brain... The adrenals go into overdrive, release adrenaline... The entire adrenaline process freaks out the pancreas.” (A, 16:03)
• He argues this is unsustainable and eventually leads to physical “carnage”—damaged livers and pancreases.

5. Long-Term Consequences & Immune System Risks

Timestamps: 19:06–23:00

• William warns that repeated use of injectables can make the body see the drug (and natural hormones) as foreign: “One more B12 shot too much, and the body is going to form an antibody to the B12, which means it'll see B12 as an enemy, which is the last thing someone needs. So when people are injecting themselves with GLP1 drugs... the body can wake up one day and decide that it's foreign and it's an enemy.” (A, 20:55)
• He paints a scenario where immune response causes unpredictable side effects:
  “All kinds of post war occurs—the war inside the body: hair loss... excessive weight gain... fatigue, dry skin problems... a weakening of the immune system.” (A, 22:05)

6. The Actual Cause of Weight Gain: The Sluggish Liver

Timestamps: 23:01–27:30

• The “dirty secret,” in William’s view, is that most weight gain stems from a sluggish, overloaded liver—not genetics or “eating too much.”
• He lists contributors: “Pathogen overloads, toxic heavy metals... toxic chemicals, pollutants... and one of the big ones, a high fat diet.” (A, 23:45)
• He critiques conventional dietary advice: “You don’t think you’re on a high-fat diet, think twice. You most likely are.” (A, 24:04)
• William rails against both animal and plant-based diets high in fat for undermining liver and metabolic health.

7. The Futility of the “Bandage” Approach

Timestamps: 27:31–31:40

• William warns that as long as people stay on high-fat diets, even with GLP-1 drugs or “natural alternatives,” the results are temporary.
• Notable quote:
  “It's putting the bandage over the infected wound. That's the GLP1 drug game and the natural GLP1 game. Never knowing why someone is sick, never knowing why someone's gaining weight, never knowing how to truly properly address it to protect them.” (A, 29:53)
• The cycle: short-term weight loss, but inevitable regain and worsening health.

8. A Plea for True Healing and Respect

Timestamps: 31:41–35:30

• William urges listeners not to lose hope:
  “You’re a good person, you deserve to heal and you have every God given right to heal. Many blessings and God bless you.” (A, 34:29)
• He questions the wisdom of prescribing GLP-1 drugs for chronic, non-acute conditions, while recognizing the value of life-saving conventional medicine in emergencies.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “GLP1 drugs are like throwing a bandage over a dirty, infected wound. Nothing good comes out of forcing your pancreas to produce more insulin.”
  — Anthony William (00:43)
• “What they don't realize is, there's more than one hormone that resides in the gut… Trying to single out a hormone and recreating it in the lab… doesn't mean that hormone in its smallest, minute, naturally-occurring form does the same.”
  (08:35)
• On the GLP-1 “injection high”:
  “Adrenaline is an instant appetite suppressant. And this is where robbing Peter to pay Paul comes in.” (15:22)
• “If the physical body tags it and builds an antibody to it… then it might tag the natural hormone inside the body that the GLP1 companies are trying to emulate. And that's the last thing someone needs.” (21:34)
• “Once the GLP1 drugs max out and you max out with them, it's a crash course... and you're back to square one. But worse.” (26:51)
• “The GlucaGen-like peptide one blunder... never knowing why someone is sick, never knowing why someone's gaining weight, never knowing how to properly address it to protect them.” (29:58)

Final Thoughts & Call to Action

Timestamps: 35:31–End

• William emphasizes the uniqueness of “Medical Medium information,” warning that much of it has been “stolen and poached” by others who now repackage it.
• He asserts that his content is “decades ahead of science and research,” is spiritually inspired, and helps people “finally heal when nothing else in the world of health could move the needle” (B, 25:15).
• Calls listeners to access free resources on his website and through his books.
• Key message: Respect your body, question quick fixes, and seek true, holistic healing.
