GLP-1 foods explained in plain English (and what actually works)
GLP-1 has quietly become one of the most talked about things in nutrition.
But here's the part many people miss:

Because GLP-1 is something your body knows how to make every time you eat.
And certain foods can increase it.

What GLP-1 does (in real terms)
GLP-1 is a hormone released from your gut after eating.
