Meet the hormone behind the Ozempic buzz
GLP-1 is everywhere right now, thanks to medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. But the conversation often leaves out something important: GLP-1 is a hormone your gut already makes every time you eat.
It helps manage blood sugar, slows digestion, and signals to your brain when you’re full. Your gut bacteria produce compounds that may influence the signals involved in its release.
Supporting your gut is a simple, everyday way to support your body’s own metabolic health.
