15 Foods to Increase GLP-1's Naturally | MMP Ep. 141

In this podcast episode, the focus is on GLP-1 hormones, which play a crucial role in weight loss and blood sugar regulation. The speaker highlights how the natural production of these hormones declines during perimenopause and menopause due to lower estrogen levels and rising cortisol. They point out that typical weight-loss methods, such as cutting calories and overdoing cardio, can actually exacerbate the problem by increasing cortisol and inflammation. The episode stresses the need to manage stress, enhance gut health, and adopt a balanced diet filled with whole foods, protein, fiber, and healthy fats to naturally elevate GLP-1 levels and support lasting weight management. To prevent digestive issues, it’s advised to gradually increase fiber and protein intake.
