GLP-1 drugs versus cutting sugar
July 19, 2026
Did you know that your body already makes its own natural version of Ozempic?
In this episode, you'll hear how GLP-1 works as a natural hormone, and why drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy exist: they copy the same hormone but are designed to last much longer.
You'll hear how the GLP-1 that naturally disappears from your body in two minutes got turned into an appetite-reducing drug that lasts a full week.
You'll also hear about what happens to people's weight after they stop taking GLP-1 drugs, as well as what leptin resistance actually is, and whether cutting sugar can reverse it better than GLP-1 drugs.
Are GLP-1 drugs for you? Or does cutting sugar give the same result?
And are you ready to go deeper and ask yourself why you turn to sugar to fill an emotional need?
Only you have the answer! (But I will give you a few...)
