Your body has a secret GLP-1 switch. Here’s how you turn it on.
Everyone’s talking about GLP-1 medications and peptides right now…
but what most people don’t realise is that your body already has GLP-1 pathways built in.
You can activate them naturally through the way you eat, move and recover.
Here’s how to turn on your own GLP-1 switch:
• Choose fibre-first meals
Your intestinal L-cells release GLP-1 when they sense fibre, resistant starch and whole plants.
• Add resistant starch
Cooked/cooled potatoes, green bananas, lentils and barley are powerful natural GLP-1 activators.
• Lift weights 3–4x a week
Strength training improves GLP-1 sensitivity by up to 360%.
(Yes, that much.)
• Balance your circadian rhythm
Poor sleep shuts down appetite hormones and makes GLP-1 signalling sluggish.
• Use targeted nutrients
Berberine, inositol, omega-3s, polyphenols and bitters all support insulin, satiety and metabolic signalling.
Technology can absolutely help…
but don’t underestimate your biology.
Your body is wiser than you think.
If you want a personalised GLP-1 activation plan based on your gut, genetics and hormones, DM me “GLP1” and I’ll send you my protocol options.
