It naturally produces them every time you eat – GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon among them.
They tell your brain you're full. Signal your body to burn fat instead of storing it. And keep your blood sugar steady between meals.
However, after 40, your natural peptide production drops:
❌ Hunger stays out of control
❌ Blood sugar spikes and crashes, driving cravings
❌ The body stores fat instead of burning it
❌ Metabolism slows down
This is why you can eat less than everyone around you and still gain weight.
And almost no diet addresses this. Almost.
Why I Don't Dismiss Ozempic, But I Always Say This First
When a patient asks me about GLP-1 injections, I don't say no.
I explain what they actually do, and what they don't do.
These drugs flood your system with synthetic versions of peptides your body already makes. Your hunger quiets, blood sugar stabilizes, you eat less without effort, and the weight comes off.
