Hack Your Hunger: The Power of GLP-1 Probiotics - Colleen Cutcliffe, Ph.D. : 1151

This podcast episode explores the importance of GLP-1, a hormone that regulates hunger and blood sugar levels. It discusses how a lack of certain bacteria in the gut microbiome can lead to decreased production of GLP-1, resulting in increased cravings and hunger. The episode also introduces the GLP-1 probiotic, which stimulates GLP-1 production and helps improve gut health. The speakers emphasize the significance of recognizing cravings as signals from the body and promote strategies to manage them effectively. The episode further explores the impact of the microbiome on overall health and suggests gradual approaches to reset the microbiome. It highlights the potential benefits of using polyphenols to enhance the effectiveness of probiotics and emphasizes the importance of reducing cravings rather than solely focusing on weight loss. The episode concludes by discussing the role of GLP-1 probiotics in protecting the gut lining and regulating blood sugar levels.
