from The Dr. Gundry Podcast

You can't scroll through your feed for five seconds without seeing someone talking about Ozempic, Wegovy, or the newest GLP-1 drug.But here's what nobody is telling you: your body was already designed to make its own version of this appetite-suppressing hormone. However, most of us have stopped feeding the good bacteria responsible for producing it.In this episode, I'm breaking down the gut-centric theory of hunger, a fascinating concept that completely changed the way I think about appetite, cravings, and weight management. Plus, I'll share what happened when I personally experimented with a specific category of food for my upcoming book and experienced something I can only describe as... injecting GLP-1. Without the injection.On this episode, you’ll learn:  The science behind what GLP-1 actually is (1:40)The real reason you feel like you can’t stop eating (and what you can do to stop it)  (4:33)All about the jaw-dropping Chinese study where volunteers minimized their hunger (9:03)Exactly which foods crank up your body's natural GLP-1 production (11:29)The one food category I added to my own diet that had me leaving half my meal on the plate (13:43)For the full episode transcript and show notes: https://drgundry.com/how-to-boost-glp1-naturally Thank you to our sponsors!
