Is GLP-1 THE Missing Piece for Weight Loss?
When people hear the term GLP-1, they think of weight-loss medications. But GLP-1 isn’t actually a drug, it’s a hormone your body naturally produces—and understanding what it does and does not do may help us understand why weight loss is more complicated than adding a synthetic GLP-1.
GLP-1 is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar, slows digestion and signals the brain that we’ve had enough to eat. The problem is the process of digestion entails a lot of different internal factors that impact weight management than just GLP-1. So adding a dose of a synthetic version while not addressing other factors is like hitting the digestive system with a hammer to effect change. There are consequences.
When the appetite is artificially over-suppressed, eating less isn’t necessarily the same thing as eating better. When nutritional intake from healthy whole food falls too low, the consequences can extend beyond what is measured on a scale. Loss of muscle and bone, organ and digestive problems, even loss of collagen which makes on look older can occur when the body doesn’t receive the daily nutrition it needs.
Weight regulation isn’t controlled by one hormone.
Our brain, muscles, bones, hormones, organs, (including skin) and blood sugar levels signals the digestive system and it’s trillions (yes, trillions) of microorganisms in the gut their needs, and our microbiota tries to supply those needs based on the food they have been given. But we are not supplying what the body needs!
Less than 5% of the population eat enough fiber
Less than 9% eat enough vegetables
Less than 12% eat enough fruit!
AND over 50% of calories in the Standard American Diet are from ultra processed foods void of nutrition.
Calories may not be the main reason for weight gain, empty calories and their lack of nutrition signals a famine, so the body goes into fat storage mode.
Now there is a new natural approach to support the body and the goal to lose excess fat.
Over 30 years ago the Juice Plus+ company was the first to market fruits & vegetable in a capsule because we don’t get what enough that we need in our daily diet. It has nutrition label because it is just food, has over 50 human clinical tests proving effectiveness, and is NSF certified for purity. Real Food. Real Science. Real Results.
Juice Plus+ has a new plant based natural product, Metabolism. It is a science-backed formulation to support the body’s own production of GLP-1, and helps one feel fuller, longer. Rather than simply focusing on appetite, it combines ingredients intended to support the body’s natural metabolic processes, blood-sugar regulation and the gut signals involved in how we process and use energy.
But does it work? Juice Plus+ puts everything to the test!
Ongoing Study
18 people were recruited for the RE:SET program and its recommended products who wanted to lose at least 5-10 pounds and who had not heard of Juice Plus+
72% reported they have tried other things that had not worked and were skeptical, but were willing to comply with taking the recommended products daily and doing the monthly 10 day RE:SET program that encourages healthier habits and supports a detox cleanse.
Three month Results (it is ongoing)
72% reported feeling improvements on days 1-2
91% created better habits and stuck with them after doing the first RE:SET*
90% reported more benefits in the second month RE:SET*
94% felt better about their body shape
100% felt good about the RE:SET* program after the 3 months and chose to continue.
*RE:SET results may vary. Individual experiences and outcomes can differ based on health status, diet, and lifestyle and implementation of the program.
We all want to be the healthiest version of ourselves. Busy lives, poor diet, stress, and sleep issues slow down our metabolism which trigger cravings.
