Let’s talk about something that not enough women are talking about: GLP-1.

It sounds super science-y (and kind of intimidating), but it’s actually a hormone that plays a big role in things like:

Keeping your blood sugar steady
Reducing your appetite
Supporting healthy weight loss

A lot of medications are being created to mimic what GLP-1 does — but the truth is, your body already knows how to produce it. You just need to support it.

The best part? You can boost your GLP-1 levels naturally with a few simple, science-backed habits.

Here are 5 things I personally try to include regularly — and that I recommend to the women I care about most:

1. Eat more fiber — especially from real, whole foods.

Think: leafy greens, oats, broccoli, beans.
Fiber helps slow down digestion and improves blood sugar response, which encourages GLP-1 production. Plus, it feeds your gut — which also matters here.

2. Try fermented foods.

Foods like yogurt (with live cultures), kimchi, sauerkraut, and kefir are rich in probiotics that support your gut microbiome — and a healthier gut means better hormone signaling. Including GLP-1.

3. Move your body — even just 30 minutes a day.

Exercise (especially after meals) is one of the best ways to naturally stimulate GLP-1. It doesn’t have to be extreme — a walk, incline treadmill, or even light strength training can make a difference.

4. Eat healthy fats and protein with your meals.

Protein and fat help slow digestion and improve satiety. This keeps insulin in check and helps your body regulate appetite — both of which support GLP-1 activity.

5. Consider intermittent fasting.

Strategic fasting gives your body time to reset. It’s been shown to increase GLP-1 levels while improving insulin sensitivity and blood sugar response. You don’t need to jump into long fasts — even a 12–14 hour overnight fast can help.

My Take:

You don’t need to overhaul your life to support your body’s natural rhythms.

Just start small: Add some fiber. Move a little more. Pay attention to your meals. These habits are simple, and they work — not just for your blood sugar, but for your hormones, mood, and energy too.

💛 You deserve to feel steady, clear, and supported — and your body’s more capable than you think.
