Ep.16 - Naturally Boost GLP-1 Hormone, Reduce Cravings, Manage Glucose, & The Importance of Fiber

HI BEAUTIES! In this episode of the MacroHabits Podcast, we’re breaking down one of the most underrated (and misunderstood) hormones in fat loss and metabolic health: GLP-1. If you’ve ever struggled with constant cravings, blood sugar crashes, or feeling out of control around food, this episode is for you. We’ll talk about what GLP-1 actually does in the body, how it impacts appetite, glucose regulation, and insulin response—and how you can naturally support it without extremes, restriction, or relying on medication. Have the best weekend gals!
