With the rise of drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, GLP-1 has become a hot topic. But what exactly is GLP-1?
It’s a hormone released by the gut in response to protein intake. When enough protein reaches your small intestine, GLP-1 is triggered and signals your brain via the vagus nerve, telling you you’re full. This results in reduced calorie intake and the activation of AMPK, which helps accelerate fat burning.
