I just watched all the glp1 videos back to back and they make a very compelling narrative about the effects and an alternative get similar benefits without the risks - diet and exercise. Thank you Dr Gregor for highlighting these important issues and making them accessible to non-medical people like us. You are saving lives every day. 🙏
Found Doctor Greger after chemotherapy last summer and I'm down 10lbs from switching to a WFPB diet. Other than damaging side effects I feel good! 🌿 Thank you! No more drugs for my body!
At 0:38 there's a study-"Boosting GLP-1 by Natural Products. Top of right column: berberine, tea, curcumin, cinnamon, wheat, soybean, resveratrol and gardenia can exert an influence on GLP-1 release" He will probably have more but that's a start.
All I can say is that I read a book called Eat to Live 12 years ago and followed the plan in it. I was shocked at how 60+ pounds fell off my body in 9 months time and never returned. You have to go through an initial period of about 3 weeks to bust through the cravings- but after that it’s much easier. Over a decade later, the bad foods that I ate addictively and mindlessly are repulsive to me. A key factor is the mind and education. I know how those processed “foods” (including animal products- the ultimate processed “food”)work to make you want more and to destroy health when eaten in quantity. I won’t touch them. Ever. I would argue that a highly nutritious, whole unprocessed plant diet is far better than a drug which works by messing up your body’s natural hunger and satiety mechanisms, not to mention enjoyment of eating. I view these drugs as another corporate money making scam. Greed is a key component of the disease of this country. It is reaching into many areas. Why can’t we support sustainable farming and real food instead of factories and laboratories? Food for people, not for profit.
@@squarz I think it cleared some of the problems with comparing the drug version and naturally boosting GLP-1. It is not a straight forward comparison. I think the message was yes, you can lower apetite by boosting GLP-1 naturally even if the blood concentration is lower than with the drug.
Yes, it was complicated. What I got from it was (1) exercise is good at helping suppress appetite and (2) healthy food intake is comparable to the effects of the GLP-1 drugs even though at first glance, the levels from food intake and the drugs are exponentially different. The bottom line is we need to exercise and eat the best healthy diet we can.
Your body makes GLP-1, mostly in the gut. There's a nerve that connects directly to your brain that senses this and your brain tells you that you're full. For that, it doesn't need to be in your blood. The part that gets into your blood when you boost production through exercise and certain foods also acts on other organs. The shot goes only in your blood so it acts on those organs directly, including the brain. After you eat you get around 20nm in your blood. When you take the shot you get 20,000nm. GLP-1 doesn't hang around long so the shot has to give you a lot more to last a week. It binds to albumin in your blood to act as a time-release. The part that is bound is inactive. When it's released then that portion is free to act. That's why the shot is so much more than what you make naturally-it needs to resist being broken down and it has to last all week. So if you only make 20 does that even work? Yes. It's been shown that natural levels of 5-15nm reduce hunger to the same extent as the 20,000nm shot. This is because your body makes it exactly where it does the most good. It's a targeted process. Think of a small fire (apologies to those affected, it's the best analogy I've got). If you need to put out a campfire you could do it with a bucket of water and it's out. You could also get an airdrop to put it out but you'd need much more water and most of it doesn't even hit the campfire. Our bodies evolved to require the smallest amount of a compound to be effective as a precise, targeted system. Coming at it from the outside you often need much more to get a clinically relevant amount where it needs to be. I hope that helps. It just goes to show how complex systems in the body are.
I love me some Dr Gregor, but this one missed the mark. Lots and lots of science and science jargon, but no practical advice on which foods raise GLP 1 levels enough to suppress appetite. Most overweight/obese people already try to eat less and exercise more. But there’s a wolverine inside us that wants to eat MORE. The meds tame that wolverine. If there are healthy foods that can tame the wolverine, please let me know.
Fibre containing, micronutrient rich (=whole) foods, calorie density not too high. Particularly salads, beans and lentils: second meal effect, high in plant protein.
.. and sports. Particularly when fun (intrinsic motivation, doesn't trigger reward binge eating), when it heats / sweats and mechanically impacts the body (fundamental body feedback signals exposing excess fat layers as obstacles instead of useful energy reserves), and when fueled as necessary by HCLF (fat burns in the fire of carbs). Bad eg would be swimming, even causing weight gain by driving excess appetite: cold, no sweating, no impact, likely boring.
Since there never could be a silver bullet, given disease complex being what it is, I suspect it'll be a combination of foods to consume and many to avoid, like the obvious, but coupled with just increased exercise, which is almost always a good thing, unless your incapacitated or for some other exempting reason.
Note: endogenous GLP-1 (boost "natural" GLP-1) has a half life of MINUTES. Half live of GLP-1RA (Ozempic / Mounjaro) is 5 DAYS. So no, diet and boosting natural GLP-1 is not an alternative for glp-1meds if you have the disease of obesity. Even if it's wfpb.
@KerriEverlasting Defensive. Also known as actual scientific fact 🤣 No engagement on the actual content of the message, or just some arm flailing? Classic.
I like Dr Greger, but for Christ sake, can we stop with all the videos on Ozempic?! Enough is enough, how long are we going to be beating the dead horse. Lets get back to real food.
This video is actually a good step in that direction. If it continues through a series, he will probably give people "real food" that does something similar to Ozempic.
"lucky" americans with SAD diet & heroes like Dr G to rescue you ( from yourselves & Big Junk) Here in Australasia Big Food has no-one to battle profiteers from diseased diets. ( Big Dairy & Meat etc - just watching "Eating Our Way to Extinction 2022) DOCTORS ( like me ) who are too easily suckered into the hype NEED the deep dives into GLP1 etc And remember the GLP1 band wagon in richer/obese countries is causing dire shortages here & everywhere else , for diabetics
The problem is the food is extremely processed. Processed food causes obesity because it has high calories, no fiber, etc. Even most restaurants sell processed food.

I'm expecting the next video in this fascinating series to be: which foods are best at increasing GLP-1 levels?
Found Doctor Greger after chemotherapy last summer and I'm down 10lbs from switching to a WFPB diet. Other than damaging side effects I feel good! 🌿
Thank you! No more drugs for my body!
The human body is amazing! And the fact that we know stuff like this is also amazing.

I don’t know… if you combine cinnamon and wheat with some sugar, I can eat that FOREVER
do a Google Search, there is a lot of information! Yay!

Which foods???
do a Google search and the answer to What foods and more like sleep etc effect GLP-1. I was so frustrated this video just ended, useless.
I love this channel!
Thank you!
I must admit... I've watched all your videos (minus a few) and this is the first time where I really didnt understand anything... 😢
Same. I totally zoned out. Just get me to the cliff notes version of this. Lol 😆
Same here… what was actually the message(s)… ? Usually, it’s all super clear…

I hope that helps. It just goes to show how complex systems in the body are.
So, what foods?
you want to suppress your appetite without calories the answer is whole raw vegetables
@@RoughNeckDelta Why raw?
@@KatarinaS. 1. You have to actually chew every bite 2. it takes a lot less vegetables to fill you up vs cooked.
I love me some Dr Gregor, but this one missed the mark. Lots and lots of science and science jargon, but no practical advice on which foods raise GLP 1 levels enough to suppress appetite.
Most overweight/obese people already try to eat less and exercise more. But there’s a wolverine inside us that wants to eat MORE. The meds tame that wolverine.

so, what are you eating that you still have food noise?
I predict the next video. Allulose.

@@myrhev good point
Chill out. He doesn't have many and their main point, as detailed in this video, is you can achieve the results via diet and exercise.

And remember the GLP1 band wagon in richer/obese countries is causing dire shortages here & everywhere else , for diabetics
That's the way he always covers topics after researching. If you're not interested just sit this one out.
