Metabolic syndrome is more than just a health buzzword… it’s a cluster of conditions that significantly increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic health issues. But did you know that your genetics play a key role in determining your risk? By understanding your DNA, you can take proactive steps to prevent or manage metabolic syndrome, ensuring a healthier future.
Your GLP-1 hormone is one of your body’s key messengers for hunger, fullness, and energy balance. But here’s the part that’s often overlooked: GLP-1 doesn’t just respond to food, it responds to your lifestyle.
Hormonal weight gain—does that sound familiar? If you’ve been struggling with weight fluctuations despite eating well and staying active, it might not be just about calories in and calories out.
GLP-1 (Glucagon-like Peptide 1) is your body’s built-in regulator for appetite, blood sugar, and fullness. When it’s working well, you feel satisfied, steady, and energized. When it’s not, your day can feel like a rollercoaster of hunger, snacks, and sugar crashes.
When it comes to gut health, most people focus on probiotics, fiber, and fermented foods, but did you know your DNA plays a major role in how well your gut functions?
GLP-1 isn’t just a medication, it’s a hormone your body already makes.
Your body runs on rhythms. Cortisol naturally rises in the morning to wake you up and lowers at night to let melatonin take over. The wrong workout at the wrong time throws this off, spiking cortisol when you actually need calm.
You’re stressed. You reach for something sweet. You feel a little better…
…and then worse. Sound familiar?
We all feel stress, but when it becomes chronic, your body stops bouncing back.
Ever felt totally fine one minute… then suddenly tired, overwhelmed, or snappy, for no reason? Those emotional shifts might not be “all in your head”, they could be in your blood sugar.
