A

Low-Dose Naltrexone

Pharmaceuticals

Mechanism

Transient opioid receptor blockade that may increase endogenous endorphin signaling and modulate immune tone in off-label protocols.

Contraindications

  • Concurrent opioid use
  • Use caution in active liver disease
B

Tirzepatide

Pharmaceuticals

Mechanism

Dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist. Enhances insulin secretion, reduces glucagon, slows gastric emptying, and acts on hypothalamic appetite centers. Produces greater weight loss than semaglutide in head-to-head trials. Also improves cardiovascular risk markers.

Contraindications
