Understanding GLP1 and Its Impact on Hunger and Food Cravings
GLP1 is a hormone produced by the body in response to food intake, signaling fullness and reducing hunger. Individuals with higher GLP1 levels experience less hunger and cravings, while those with lower levels may struggle with constant food thoughts. Research links low GLP1 production to microbiome imbalances, where specific gut bacteria are crucial for triggering the hormone. This highlights the role of probiotics in promoting natural GLP1 production to regulate appetite.
