GLP-1, the Darling of Weight Loss

GLP-1 [Glucagon-like peptide 1 ] is a hormone that’s redefining effective weight management strategies.  While created for diabetics, the use for weight loss by non-diabetics continues to increase.  Many of my clients have lost weight but worry about what will happen once the stop taking the expensive drug - due to expense, availability or doctors not renewing the prescription.  
You might not know that GLP-1 is produced by the body naturally.  GLP- 1 is a hormone produced in the gut and released in response to food. It causes reduced appetite, increases the feeling of fullness, and the release of insulin. Research is also looking into connections with Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's Disease, chronic pain, PCOS and heart disease.  There are several natural products that can help increase its production and secretion. 
Berberine, probiotics, psyllium, curcumin and ginseng are those with the most research and impact.  Certain dietary and lifestyle approaches can also encourage increased production of GLP-1.
