Join us as we dive into a hot topic: GLP-1 hormones—what they are, why they’re essential, and how you can naturally boost them without relying on external GLP-1 Agonists like Ozempic or Mounjaro. We’ll dive into how our bodies create these GLP-1, (glucagon-like peptide-1) hormones that play a key role in regulating blood sugar, appetite, and even weight. They are our body’s amazing built-in support system for keeping cravings and energy levels in check and it can be enhanced naturally by making smart lifestyle and dietary changes. In this episode, we’ll walk you through those changes step by step.

In this episode, we're diving into a topic that is often overlooked in food addiction recovery but can be a powerful game-changer: and that's how anger can link itself to addiction.

The mental and emotional hurdles can be some of the biggest obstacles we face, and today we want to talk about one of those hurdles—the anger aspect. How do we manage it, and why is it so critical in our recovery?
