The 3 Nutrients That Turn On GLP-1 Inside the episode, we explore: Why protein is the strongest dietary trigger for GLP-1 (and the leucine connection) How fiber works through your gut bacteria to stimulate GLP-1 release Why unsaturated fats (olive oil, avocado, salmon) outperform saturated fats (butter) for GLP-1 Why the Good Enough Plate Method is essentially a GLP-1-boosting meal The daily habits that support GLP-1: walking after meals, eating slowly, consistent meal timing, sleep, and strength training My take on natural GLP-1 booster supplements (spoiler: foundation first) The GLP-1 grocery list I put together (available as a paid post!)
