Curious about natural alternatives to expensive GLP-1 medications like Ozempic? Dr. Mark Pettus unveils powerful nutritional strategies to boost your body's own GLP-1 production for improved metabolic health and sustainable weight management.

This eye-opening presentation dives into the fascinating relationship between your diet, gut microbiome, and GLP-1 production. Dr. Pettus, a kidney and integrative medicine specialist with 40 years of medical experience, explains how quality protein, healthy fats, fiber-rich foods, and even bitter-tasting ingredients can stimulate your natural GLP-1 pathways without prescription medications.

You'll discover why the timing of your meals and exposure to natural light dramatically impacts hormone production, and how simple lifestyle adjustments can synchronize your circadian rhythms for optimal metabolic health. Dr. Pettus challenges conventional nutritional wisdom with evidence-based perspectives on protein requirements, healthy fats, and the critical importance of preserving muscle mass during weight loss.

Whether you're currently taking GLP-1 medications and seeking complementary strategies, looking for natural alternatives, or simply interested in optimizing your metabolic health, this webinar provides practical, accessible approaches based on cutting-edge nutritional science. Learn how to work with your body's natural hormonal systems rather than bypassing them, potentially reducing your dependence on expensive pharmaceutical interventions while improving your overall health.

Take control of your metabolic health through these natural nutritional strategies to enhance your body's own GLP-1 production. Visit Dr. Pettus' website www.thehealthedgepodcast.com for the video and slide deck.
