Many women in midlife are discovering that GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy have been game-changers for improving metabolic health—but what happens when these medications become unavailable or too expensive? I'm excited to share five powerful, science-backed alternatives that can help you naturally stimulate GLP-1 production in your body without prescriptions. From the surprising benefits of a rare sugar called allulose that mimics GLP-1 effects without spiking insulin, to a New Zealand hops extract that raises GLP-1 levels for four hours after ingestion, these alternatives offer real solutions for women looking to maintain their fat loss progress and metabolic healing. We also dive into how specific probiotics, the protein-fiber combination, and berberine can naturally boost your body's GLP-1 production while addressing underlying metabolic issues that contribute to weight gain in our 40s and beyond.
