So, what exactly is GLP-1, and why should you care?

GLP-1 (Glucagon-like Peptide-1) is a hormone naturally produced in the gut in response to food. It's the communication process between your gut and your brain, and plays a vital role in:

• Regulating blood sugar by stimulating insulin release and preventing excess glucose production.
• Controlling appetite by slowing down gastric emptying, helping you feel fuller longer and reducing cravings.
• Cardiovascular health by offering protection against heart issues and improving overall heart function.
• Supporting your immune system by managing inflammation more effectively.
• Helping regulate your mood by influencing the release of key brain chemicals like dopamine and serotonin, which are vital for emotional health!
