Who is FrontrowMD?
FrontrowMD is an independent, third-party platform on a mission to make it easier to discover health products you can trust.
Here’s how: first, we make it easy for clinicians to share discounts on their own selection of health products to help their patients. We often hear that our clinician partners are worried about patients spending their hard-earned money on products that may not be best for them.
Then, we digitally track which products our clinicians include on their patient discount pages and display that data to you, verifying that medical experts are choosing to share The Absorption Company and making it easier to discover the right product for you.
Who / how many clinicians share this?
Clinicians sharing The Absorption Company include doctors, nurse practitioners, and physician associates. Right now, 839 clinicians are including The Absorption Company on their personalized patient discounts page, out of hundreds of product options.
Group practices often request to collaborate on one page instead of setting up separate free pages (this way, it’s easier for patients at a medical practice to shop through a single page).
Below, you can see the names of clinicians or practices sharing The Absorption Company, including how many clinicians chose to collaborate at that practice to sum up the total number of clinicians sharing The Absorption Company.
What’s “Clinicians’ Choice” / “share”?
Clinicians have the choice to add / remove any health product (either individually, or often in bulk) to their patient discounts pages whenever they would like.
Therefore, FrontrowMD defines a product as being “shared” or as a “Clinicians’ Choice” if that specific product is included in their personalized page and if those clinicians indicated on their “Getting Started” form that they intend to make their page available to patients (like through leaving out ‘Savings Cards’ with QR codes that link to the page), regardless of the number of products they keep / remove, how thoroughly they review each product, and the number of patients who choose to visit these pages.
This is different than a clinician recommending or “prescribing” this product to an individual patient, which clinicians are often less comfortable doing because of liability concerns — clinicians instead often appreciate being able to choose to share a product on their page that is broadly available to all patients.
When you click on 'Preview' below, you’ll be taken to a filtered view of those clinicians’ personalized pages, so you can confirm they included this product. While there, you can even download the “Getting Started” form they submitted by clicking ‘Confirm’ in the full list of clinicians. Only patients of these clinicians can shop on that page.
Are clinicians paid to do this?
No — clinicians are never compensated. This is a free platform for clinicians and patients. These clinicians include products on their personalized discounts pages, which you can preview below, to benefit their patients.

What Is The Difference Between GLP-1 And GIP Hormones?
Jul 08, 2026 · 5 min Read
See the key differences in GLP-1 vs GIP and why these hormones matter for metabolic health with guidance from The Absorption Company.
By Dr. John Doe
John Doe, PhD, is a clinical researcher specializing in recovery science.
See the key differences in GLP-1 vs GIP and why these hormones matter for metabolic health with guidance from The Absorption Company.
780 clinicians share The Absorption Company on FrontrowMD without compensation. Learn more.
Key Takeaways:
- Different Hormone Roles: GLP-1 and GIP both respond to food, but they support different parts of appetite, insulin, and nutrient signaling.
- Metabolic Health Connection: These hormones help explain why hunger, energy, and weight management involve more than willpower.
- Absorption Matters: Better nutrient absorption can help the body get more benefit from the nutrients people already take.
GLP-1 and GIP are hormones released after eating that help regulate blood sugar, appetite, and metabolism, but each plays a distinct role in directing how the body responds to incoming nutrients and energy.
At The Absorption Company, nutrient absorption is our sole focus, and our pharmaceutical-grade supplements are scientifically formulated to help the body absorb and utilize more of the nutrients people work hard to put into their wellness routine.
In this piece, we'll explore the differences between GLP-1 and GIP, their impact on metabolic health, and why therapies that target both hormones are attracting growing attention.

Incretin Hormones Explained
Ever wonder how your body knows what to do with a meal moments after the first bite? Incretin hormones are chemical messengers released by the gut that help coordinate blood sugar control, appetite signals, and nutrient processing after eating.
Think of them as traffic directors guiding nutrients to the right destinations so energy can be used efficiently instead of creating metabolic confusion. The GIP hormone function is primarily tied to stimulating insulin release in response to food, while other incretins help regulate hunger and digestion to keep the entire system working together.
GLP-1 vs GIP: Their Primary Roles
Understanding GIP vs GLP-1 starts with recognizing that both hormones respond to food, but each sends a different set of instructions throughout the body.
What Is GLP-1?
GLP-1 helps stimulate insulin release when blood sugar levels rise after a meal. It also promotes feelings of fullness and slows digestion, helping the body process food at a more controlled pace.
What Is GIP?
Also known as glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, GIP is released by the small intestine in response to food intake. Its primary role is to support insulin secretion and help the body handle nutrients efficiently.
How Does GIP Work?
The GIP receptor acts like a receiving station that detects GIP signals and triggers specific metabolic responses. Once activated, it helps coordinate processes involved in blood sugar regulation and energy management.
Why Do These Hormones Matter?
GLP-1 and GIP work behind the scenes every time food is consumed, helping maintain metabolic balance. Without these signaling systems, the body would have a much harder time managing blood sugar, appetite, and nutrient utilization.
How GLP-1 And GIP Influence Weight And Metabolism
Weight management involves far more than willpower, and GLP-1 and GIP help shape hunger, fullness, and energy balance by sending signals that influence how the body responds to food.
Picture these hormones as a communication network working behind the scenes after every meal, helping coordinate blood sugar control and nutrient use in ways that can affect body weight and overall metabolic health over time.

Tirzepatide Mechanism And Why It Targets Both Hormones
The tirzepatide mechanism is unique because it is designed to activate pathways associated with both GLP-1 and GIP rather than focusing on a single hormone.
Why target two metabolic signals instead of one? Researchers recognized that GLP-1 and GIP perform complementary roles that may work together to influence blood sugar regulation, appetite, and energy utilization.
By engaging both hormone systems, tirzepatide represents a broader approach to supporting metabolic function and reflects growing interest in therapies that mirror the body's natural signaling processes.
Dual Incretin Therapy: The Future Of Metabolic Health?
Interest in dual incretin therapy continues to grow because it targets multiple metabolic pathways that naturally work together to regulate blood sugar, appetite, and energy balance.
While research is still evolving, this approach highlights a deeper understanding of the body's hormone networks and may help shape future strategies for supporting long-term metabolic health.

Final Thoughts
Understanding GLP-1 vs GIP highlights how these powerful incretin hormones work together to support blood sugar regulation, appetite control, and overall metabolic function. As research into dual incretin therapies continues to advance, a deeper understanding of these natural hormone pathways can empower individuals to make more informed decisions about their long-term health and wellness goals.
Frequently Asked Questions About GLP-1 Vs GIP
Are GLP-1 and GIP made in the same part of the body?
They are both produced in the gut after food is consumed. However, they are released by different types of intestinal cells that carry out distinct functions.
Do GLP-1 and GIP work only after eating?
These hormones are most active after meals because food stimulates their release. Their signals help the body respond appropriately to incoming nutrients.
Can lifestyle habits influence incretin activity?
Healthy eating patterns, regular exercise, quality sleep, and good metabolic health can support normal hormone signaling. Daily habits play an important role in how efficiently the body regulates energy and blood sugar.
Can poor nutrient absorption affect metabolic health?
Poor absorption can reduce the amount of nutrients available for important bodily processes. Over time, this may impact energy production, recovery, and overall wellness.
Are GLP-1 and GIP important for active people?
Yes, these hormones help regulate processes involved in energy use and nutrient handling. Strong metabolic signaling can support the body's ability to respond to physical activity and recovery demands.
Do these hormones replace healthy habits?
GLP-1 and GIP are important metabolic regulators, but they are only one piece of the puzzle. A balanced diet, regular movement, adequate sleep, and stress management remain essential for long-term health.
