How GLP-1 Medications Work in Your Body To understand why nutrition is so important during your program, it helps to understand what the medication is doing inside your body
GLP-1 agonists affect neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly those related to dopamine and serotonin , both of which are involved in mood regulation and sleep cycles
Always inform your GP or pharmacist about any additional medications or supplements you're considering, as interactions are possible
Listed effects of GLP-1 include: 1) reduced glucagon secretion from the liver (thereby slowing down the release of glucose, or blood sugar, into the bloodstream during periods of fasting or reduced food intake), 2) increased insulin production, 3) decreased appetite, and 4) decreased intestinal motility (causing food to move slower through the digestive system, thereby further improving blood sugar and reducing appetite)
A simple journal noting energy levels, any cramps, headaches, or digestive symptoms helps you identify patterns and adjust supplementation proactively rather than reactively
