GLP-1: the hunger hormone

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone your body naturally releases after eating. It signals fullness to your brain, slows digestion, and helps regulate blood sugar.

GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide mimic and extend this signal, so you feel full on less food and experience fewer cravings — making it far easier to maintain a calorie deficit.
