Module-by-module breakdown of Metabolic Health: GLP-1 Receptor Agonists, Prebiotics, and the Gut–Brain Axis, from foundations to a certified capstone project.
Physiology
• GLP-1 and GIP secretion from L and K cells in response to nutrients
• Insulin secretion, glucagon suppression and gastric emptying effects
• Central appetite signalling and the receptor distribution behind it
Pharmacology
• Semaglutide, liraglutide and dual agonists such as tirzepatide
• Trial evidence for weight and cardiovascular outcomes, and its quality
• Gastrointestinal adverse effects, discontinuation rates and weight regain after stopping
Microbiome
• Short-chain fatty acids and their signalling to enteroendocrine cells
• Bile acid metabolism and the FXR and TGR5 pathways
• Association against causation in microbiome studies, and the shortage of trials
Nutrition
• Prebiotic definitions, inulin and resistant starch, and dose-response
• Fibre effects on satiety and glycaemia, and the modest effect sizes
• Distinguishing evidence-backed intervention from supplement marketing
Communication
• Vagal afferent signalling and the enteric nervous system
• Hypothalamic and reward pathway regulation of intake
• Translating mechanism to advice without overstating what is established
