In the latest episode of The HII Method podcast, host Jen Hatz delves into the topic of GLP-1 analogs, particularly focusing on the trending medication Ozempic. As the founder of the High Method and partner with Neuro Force One, Jen brings a holistic and integrative perspective to assessing human health, well-being, and performance.
GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) is a naturally occurring hormone found in the gut mucosal lining. It plays a crucial role in regulating insulin release from the pancreas in response to food intake. This hormone helps manage blood glucose levels and is released when we consume carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
Ozempic is a synthetic GLP-1 analog, mimicking the natural hormone’s effects on the body. It is primarily used to improve blood glucose management in individuals with type 2 diabetes. By enhancing insulin release and reducing blood sugar levels, Ozempic can be a life-saving intervention for those with insulin resistance or inadequate insulin production.
Ozempic has gained attention not only for its role in diabetes management but also for its potential as an appetite suppressant, aiding in weight loss. However, Jen highlights the ethical considerations and potential long-term effects of using such medications for weight management. She emphasizes the importance of addressing lifestyle factors and exploring natural methods to achieve health goals before relying on pharmaceutical interventions.
Jen advises focusing on diet, specifically increasing fiber intake from a variety of plant sources, to support gut health. A healthy gut mucosal lining is essential for proper GLP-1 function and overall metabolic health. Additionally, managing stress is crucial, as chronic stress can degrade the gut lining and impact overall health.
Neuro Force One offers tools to help manage stress and optimize performance. Their app, synced with wearable devices, provides insights into stress levels and helps tailor workouts to individual needs. Moreover, their gut health protocol, RESET, incorporates a variety of plant ingredients to support gut health, which may support natural hormonal signaling like GLP-1 and insulin.
Jen Hatz’s discussion on GLP-1, Ozempic, and natural health strategies underscores the importance of a holistic approach to well-being. By focusing on diet, stress management, and innovative tools from Neuro Force One, individuals can achieve optimal health without over-reliance on pharmaceuticals.
