This rapid physical development requires significant nutritional support, which explains why your once-moderate eater may suddenly seem like they have a bottomless pit for a stomach.

GLP-1 stands for glucagon-like peptide-1, which is a hormone your body naturally produces in your intestines when you eat. Think of it as one of your body's built-in appetite and blood sugar regulators. When you eat, GLP-1 is released and does several important things: it tells your brain you're getting full, slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach, regulates appetite, and helps your pancreas release the right amount of insulin to manage your blood sugar.
