GLP-1 shots are popular because they are effective in promoting weight loss and managing type 2 diabetes by mimicking a natural hormone that reduces appetite and slows digestion.

But did you know that our bodies produce GLP-1 naturally?

If fact, prebiotics and probiotics improve insulin resistance and GLP-1 production by influencing the gut microbiome.

Prebiotics provide fuel for beneficial bacteria, leading them to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that promote GLP-1 release from intestinal cells.

Probiotics introduce specific bacteria strains that can also produce SCFAs, metabolize tryptophan into beneficial compounds, or alter bile acids to activate GLP-1-stimulating receptors in the gut.

Research: Role of gut microbiota in the regulation of GLP-1 secretion - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6449176/

So, question: if you knew that there was a product that could help naturally increase your GLP-1, would you be interested in more information? 

I've been taking it for 1 month now and have experienced... less bloating, less hunger, better digestion, deeper sleep/ dreaming…..

Have you ever asked a vegan or vegetarian "Where do you get your protein"?
Let's pause and look at the strongest and some of the largest animals like elephants, gorillas, rhino, cows and more. ALL plant eaters. Do you think they get asked this question around the watering hole 🙂
We also don't need as much protein as people are pushing. I should get about 50 grams of protein a day. Easy with plants and healthy carbs and legumes. Most people are getting way too much protein. Yes you can lose weight on a keto diet, but at what cost to your body long term avoiding carbs?
This is such great information. And at the gym, yes I have gotten stronger without increasing my protein or doing keto. Your health is not all about the protein...

If you’re considering a plant-based diet, you may be curious about how to get enough vegan protein. Read on for everything you need to know.

🌱 Why Postbiotics Are a Game Changer for Your Health 🌱

You’ve probably heard of probiotics (the good bacteria in your gut) and prebiotics (the fibers that feed them). But have you heard of postbiotics?

👉 Postbiotics are the powerful compounds created when probiotics feed on prebiotics.

And here’s the exciting part:
💡 Postbiotics can help your body naturally boost its own GLP-1, a hormone that:
✔ Supports healthy blood sugar levels
✔ Helps regulate appetite
✔ Aids metabolism and energy balance

When you support your microbiome, it pays you back with postbiotics that fuel better health from the inside out. 🙌

✨ Super-Biome your microbiome—it’s one of the best investments you can make in your wellness!

How is your gut health?

Have you ever felt like you're doing all the right things but still feel a little off? Your gut health might be the missing piece of the puzzle!

Inside you is a unique community of microbes called your gut microbiome. It's connected to almost everything:

• How well you absorb nutrients

• Your immune system (over 70% of it lives in your gut!)

• Your daily energy levels

• Sleep

• Even your mood and skin clarity

Life can easily throw this delicate balance off. That's why we are so excited to introduce Super Biome, a brand new two step system from Juice Plus+ designed to help your gut thrive!

Here’s how this simple system works together:

1. Nourish with the Prebiotic Powder: This gentle drink mix is made from a blend of 6 plant based fibers, including Jerusalem Artichoke and Chicory Root. It’s the perfect food for your good gut bacteria, helping them flourish.

2. Replenish with the Probiotic Capsules: One capsule delivers 20 billion live cultures from 9 different species, designed to reach your gut safely and support microbial diversity.

I never knew, but most probiotics don’t even make it past your stomach acids to the gut 

When you combine them, you help create an amazing environment for your gut to bloom. You may notice better digestive comfort, less occasional bloating, and a wonderful feeling of overall wellbeing. Because when your gut is happy, your whole body feels it.

Let me know if you’re ready to up your gut health 🦠

I’ve been learning a lot about gut health over the last few years, and I talk about it at my Sourdough workshops. Your microbiome is the center of health for your body.  You aren’t healthy if you dont have a healthy gut 😳

❤️ 70 to 80% of your immune system starts in the gut
❤️ 90% of serotonin starts in the gut
❤️ Your gut is responsible for 400x more melatonin than your brain 

Most people have heard it is called your second brain. But it is responsible for so much more than people realize. Today I learned a lot more at the Juice Plus conference. I love the education that this company brings.

Take a look at this image, if you are experiencing any of these, you need to focus on gut health.
