15 Benefits of Microdosing a GLP-1
Marshall Medical Group • July 29, 2025
Microdosing GLP-1 taps into one of the body's master regulatory systems, impacting blood sugar, inflammation, the gut-brain axis, mitochondrial function, and even gene expression, all from a single peptide naturally made in your gut.
1. Supports adrenal recovery:
Reduces cortisol spikes and stabilizes energy.
2. lmproves histamine tolerance:
Lowers mast cell activation and supports microbiome rebalance.
3. Calms neuroinflammation:
Modulates microglial activity for clearer thinking.
4. Reduces anxiety:
Stimulates the vagus nerve and balances HPA axis signaling.
5. Boosts mitochondrial health:
Enhances AMPK and energy production without overstimulation.
6. Raises BDNF:
Supports brain function, focus, and neuroplasticity.
7. Regulates estrogen metabolism:
Supports liver detox of estrogen metabolites.
8. Supports methylation:
Helps lower homocysteine and reduce methylation stress.
9. lmproves thyroid conversion:
Reduces reverse T3 and enhances T4 to T3 conversion.
10. Heals gut lining:
Reduces
inflammation and improves barrier integrity.
11. Enhances nutrient absorption:
Slower transit supports better uptake of key nutrients.
12. Modulates dopamine:
Reduces food cravings and reward-seeking behavior.
13. Lowers blood pressure:
Improves nitric oxide levels and endothelial function.
14. Reduces autoimmunity triggers:
Lowers inflammation and gut permeability.
15. Supports detox pathways:
Reduces the metabolic burden on the liver.

The Latest Evidence: TRAVERSE Trial and Beyond The most rigorous clinical trial to date—In 2023, the TRAVERSE trial (Testosterone Replacement Therapy for Assessment of Long-Term Vascular Events and Efficacy Response in Hypogonadal Men)—was designed specifically to answer the cardiovascular question.
