GLP-1 (glucagon like peptide-1) is a hormone released primarily by specialized cells in your intestine after you eat.
It helps your body:
🍽️ Regulate appetite and fullness
🧠 Send satiety signals to the brain
🩸 Support healthy blood-sugar regulation
💉 Stimulate insulin release when glucose is elevated
⏳ Slow stomach emptying, which can help you feel satisfied longer
We are all familiar with prescription medications, but can you do it naturally?
YES!
Your intestinal bacteria ferment certain fibers and resistant starches into short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including butyrate, acetate and propionate. These compounds interact with intestinal cells and may help stimulate natural GLP-1 secretion.
Nutrition, muscle-building exercise, sleep, stress management and a healthy gut microbiome all work together.
