In this episode of the Health Upgrade podcast, we dive deep into the fascinating connection between GLP-1 receptor agonist medications (like Ozempic and Wegovy) and the vagus nerve. We break down how our bodies naturally release GLP-1, the key role of protein intake, and why slow, mindful eating matters for satiety. Throughout the conversation, we also explore how these medications can be a helpful tool, while spotlighting the importance of not becoming dependent on them for long-term metabolic health.

We also address side effects and the broader impact of diet, emphasizing high-protein, nutrient-dense foods, quality sleep, stress management, and regular exercise (especially resistance training) as essential habits, whether or not you’re on medication. Plus, we share valuable insights on how lifestyle and even vagus nerve stimulation devices can optimize metabolism and support healthier weight management.

If you or someone you know is using GLP-1 agonists or simply wants to understand how to optimize health and satiety, this episode is packed with actionable wisdom. Share this episode with a friend or family member who could benefit, and start the journey toward truly sustainable, empowered health today!
