How Your Gut Helps Your Body Make GLP-1

When you eat foods high in fiber and natural plant compounds, you’re not just feeding yourself; you’re feeding the trillions of good bacteria in your gut. These microbes break down parts of your food (like fiber) into special substances called short-chain fatty acids. These substances tell your gut to release glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone that helps control blood sugar, keeps you feeling full, and supports weight and energy balance. In other words, eating the right foods helps your gut make more GLP-1 naturally.
