GLP-1 is the buzzy new word in the weight loss industry, but what is it? And how does it affect weight? In this article, we’ll cover what you need to know about GLP-1, plus other key factors often overlooked in healthy weight management like blood sugar and gut bacteria. Then, we’ll introduce you to a new, patent-pending way to support natural GLP-1 with clean label ingredients!*
What Is GLP-1?
GLP-1 is a hormone naturally produced in the gut that plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar, metabolism and appetite. GLP-1 helps conduct a symphony of signals between your brain, stomach and pancreas, affecting your overall metabolism.
How Does GLP-1 Affect Weight?
GLP-1 helps control your appetite. It tells your brain that you’re full, tells your pancreas when to produce insulin and slows stomach emptying. This may help you to eat smaller portion sizes and eat less between meals.
Reducing hunger signals to the brain while reducing caloric intake is key to helping you stick to a healthy diet without feeling deprived. Don’t blame your willpower, it might be your GLP-1!
Not all bodies produce equal amounts of GLP-1. It’s one of the reasons why diet and exercise alone are not always enough to help some people reach a healthy weight. This, in part, has led to the popularity of a line of GLP-1 agonist drugs formulated with semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy, etc.) that mimic the action of GLP-1 in the body.
Certain clean label ingredients can also help support your body’s natural GLP-1… keep reading to find out more! But first, let’s talk about 2 other overlooked factors for healthy weight management: blood sugar and gut bacteria.
How Does Blood Sugar Affect Weight?
When sugar enters your bloodstream, it triggers your pancreas to produce insulin. Insulin is essential for processing sugar. It helps your body convert sugar to energy. Any excess sugar not needed for energy is stored as fat.
When we eat foods high in sugar, including simple carbohydrates, it can lead to weight gain over time. High sugar/high carb foods also contribute to greater fluctuations in blood sugar, which make it harder to control hunger signals the rest of the day.
It might surprise you to know that spikes and dips in blood sugar happen to all of us, every day — even though most of us have blood sugar levels already within normal range. By choosing foods low on the Glycemic Index that support more consistent blood sugar levels and by supporting natural GLP-1, you can help minimize blood sugar spikes.
How Does Gut Bacteria Affect Weight?
Microbiome health is becoming widely recognized as the foundation of a holistic health regimen. And there’s a particular strain of bacteria getting a lot of attention for its role in healthy weight management. This type of bacteria is called Akkermansia.
Akkermansia may help regulate glucose, fat storage and metabolism by affecting signals to the brain vis the gut-brain axis. What’s more, in vitro study results suggest Akkermansia may play a role in supporting GLP-1 by increasing secretion of an essential GLP-1 precursor.[1] And gut bacteria like Akkermansia can even play a role in the foods you crave!
Akkermansia is more prevalent in lean bodies than in overweight bodies, so there may be a correlation with an abundance of Akkermansia and your ability to maintain a healthy weight. If you’ve ever felt like some people are programmed to be thin, these bacteria may help explain why.
Support Natural GLP-1 With the Modere Body Transformation System
Healthy weight and the benefits associated with it are largely attributed to lifestyle — particularly diet and exercise. But the latest science tells us that body composition is much more nuanced, with GLP-1, blood sugar and gut bacteria playing key roles. Unfortunately, most weight management programs don’t consider these factors.
Whether you’re trying to lose a specific number of pounds or a percentage of body fat, the typical advice of diet and exercise fails to address appetite and hunger. In fact, creating a calorie deficit by eating less and exercising more often makes us feel hungrier — and moodier. It’s hard to stick to a fitness regimen when you’re hangry!
Supporting your natural GLP-1 levels and blood sugar levels already within normal range and helping increase Akkermansia bacteria may be the missing link between you and your healthy body weight. That’s where the Modere Body Transformation System comes in.
The Modere Body Transformation System takes a holistic approach that specifically targets GLP-1, blood sugar and gut bacteria, while simultaneously supporting lean body composition, boosted metabolism and improved muscle tone as part of a healthy diet and exercise regimen.*
These 5 cutting-edge products support key metabolic factors for healthy weight management on a cellular level from the inside out, so you can transform your body into a lean body!*
Modere Curb Featuring Satiety-GLP™ Support
Curb is a game-changing GLP-1 support product that helps you take control of your appetite and transform your microbiome. If you’ve been looking for the missing piece to your diet + exercise regimen, this is it!
Curb is where you’ll find support for GLP-1, blood sugar levels already within normal range, and Akkermansia bacteria. Its patent pending formula is fueled by Satiety-GLP™ Support, an exclusive blend that features GlycoLemon™ and Metabiome Prebiotic™ Technology.*
Satiety-GLP™ Support provides glucomannan from konjac root to help you feel fuller, longer and reduces hunger cravings that can contribute to overeating and snacking between meals.*
GlycoLemon™ is comprised of high-potency citrus flavonoids, which support natural GLP-1.*
Metabiome Prebiotic™ Technology acts as a powerful FODMAP-friendly prebiotic that feeds Akkermansia bacteria. It helps Akkermansia colonize in the gut and support metabolic processes like glucose and fat storage.*
Curb features a delicious peach mango flavor. To use, simply add your ready-to-mix pack to at least 8 fl oz. of water, stir and drink promptly. You can take it right before a meal or to help curb mid-afternoon snacking. You can also mix it with Sculpt to make our Peach Raspberry Refresher!
Sculpt
A holistic healthy weight management program isn’t complete without amino acids. They’re essential for building and repairing muscle in the body. And as you age, amino acids become even more essential to help combat natural muscle loss.
Too often, we think of amino acid supplements as exclusively for body builders or serious athletes. The truth is, Modere Sculpt is a must-have if your fitness routine is focused on losing fat while building lean muscle — and who doesn’t want that!?
Sculpt features a scientifically supported 2:1:1 ratio of branched chain amino acids L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine. These amino acids specifically help build lean muscle when combined with resistance training and a healthy diet.*
Sculpt is also formulated with L-glutamine, L-arginine, betaine, taurine, and coconut water concentrate to help boost performance. And if you experience muscle soreness after exercise, Sculpt may help reduce it so you can recover faster!*
Sculpt features a delicious blue raspberry flavor. Simply stir 1 scoop into at least 8 fl oz. of water or mix with Modere Curb for even more weight management benefits, including support for GLP-1.*
Trim
Award-winning, science-backed Trim is an important piece of the Body Transformation System, because it provides most of the body composition benefits regarding fat-to-muscle ratio. While healthy body weight is important for overall health, your ratio of fat to muscle plays an even more important role and represents a key metric of your overall fitness.
Trim is formulated with a first-in-the-world combination of scientifically studied CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) and multi-patented Collagen/HA Matrix® Technology to simultaneously help support fat loss, improve muscle tone and support joint health as part of a healthy diet and exercise regimen.*
Plus, the Collagen/HA Matrix in Trim helps support youthful, firm-looking skin. As people fluctuate in weight and body fat, in can affect skin’s appearance, making it look saggy, dimpled or dry. The Bio-Optimized™ collagen micromolecules in Trim help support skin’s appearance from the inside out so you can show off your new body confidently!*
Trim comes in several delicious flavors. Just take 1 Tablespoon each morning to reap the benefits of this fat-loss supplement. Store in the refrigerator after opening.
Burn
Modere Burn helps turn your metabolism into a calorie burning powerhouse with our proprietary ThermoBlend, a thermogenic formula with berberine from Indian barberry, fucoxanthin from seaweed, and natural caffeine, plus chromium.
In addition to helping kick-start metabolism, Burn contains ingredients scientifically shown to help support healthy glucose levels already within normal range, making it a perfect complement to the natural GLP-1 support of Curb and the rest of the Body Transformation System.*
To use Burn, take up to 3 capsules daily. Burn contains caffeine, so if you’re sensitive to caffeine, you may not wish to take the maximum dosage. We recommend starting with 1-2 pills in the morning and/or after lunch. Do not exceed 3 capsules daily.
Pure Chocolate Whey Protein
The importance of adequate protein intake is often overlooked in weight management. It plays a crucial role in helping you feel full, helping to curb hunger cravings, and helping to build and maintain muscle when combined with resistance training and a healthy diet.
It’s recommended that you consume ½ gram-1gram of protein per pound of body weight daily to fuel your muscles. For example, if you weigh 150 lbs., you should be consuming 75-150 grams of protein daily. Consuming enough protein can be as difficult, if not more difficult, than meeting your daily recommended servings of fruits and vegetables!
Pure Chocolate Whey Protein makes hitting your daily protein goal easier. It delivers 21 grams of ultra-filtered protein per serving and its enzyme-assisted formula is easily absorbed by the body for comfortable digestion.*
To use, mix 2 scoops with water or milk. We love it with Chocolate Trim as a morning protein shake using almond milk as a base. Just blend or shake with a few ice cubes!
