This one feels personal, as a clinician of nearly 25 years, I’m seeing an alarming amount of women coming to me either on GLP-1 medication or contemplating it.
And without doing all the necessary gut health support first.
How did we get to a point where the body can’t do things it’s actually meant to do all on its own.
However if you are diabetic or clinically obese these medications can be lifesaving. But choosing these medications to fix the outcome of poor lifestyle choices or a disconnection from your body for many years is not the answer.
Your gut health is the most aspect of health & “fixing” one thing will only create an imbalance somewhere else.
A consultation is always best when navigating gut and hormonal health, however here are a few tips to Support your Gut Microbiome for healthy GLP-1 production to get started.
Prebiotics: fibres from oats, legumes, asparagus, onions, garlic.
Polyphenols: Cell Charge- the highest concentration of polyphenols available, also berries, green tea, cacao, olive oil
Probiotics: strains like Akkermansia muciniphila & Bifidobacteria (Cell Charge increases this naturally) are linked to improved GLP-1 secretion.
Fermented foods: sauerkraut, kefir, kimchi.
Reduce processed foods: which feed bacteria that cause dysbiosis.
Share this to a friend contemplating or taking GLP-1
