Confident Eaters Help! I Messed Up My Hormones Part 3: Ghrelin and GLP-1
If you’ve ever felt like your appetite is totally out of whack—always hungry, never hungry, craving everything, or suddenly full after three bites—you’re not alone.
In this episode of Confident Eaters, Georgie and Christina dig into two key hormones that shape your hunger and fullness: ghrelin and GLP-1. You’ll learn what they are, how they work, and how daily habits like sleep, stress, meal size, and even food order affect them.
Plus, we break down the science behind popular drugs like Ozempic, why skipping meals might be backfiring, and how to feel more in sync with your body without extreme dieting or restriction. If you think you’ve “messed up” your hormones, start here—it’s not about being broken, it’s about learning how to work with your biology.
