Episode notes
Exercise Boosts GLP-1 Levels
- Exercise, especially high-intensity interval and moderate continuous training, acutely increases GLP-1 levels.
- Nearly everyone benefits from becoming more physically active to boost this hormone naturally.
Natural vs Drug GLP-1 Levels
- Natural GLP-1 levels rise after meals but are much lower in blood compared to drug mimics like Ozempic.
- Drug levels appear high but active free levels in blood are closer to natural GLP-1 after strong stimulation.
GLP-1 Works Through Vagus Nerve
- GLP-1 affects appetite mainly through vagus nerve signaling from the gut to the brainstem.
- Strong GLP-1 stimuli may activate peripheral receptors by raising blood levels sufficiently.
