1 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: Hi, and welcome back to Bounce Forward with me, Tip Haul. 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: I'd like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 1: on which I'm recording this podcast, so we're rendering people 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: of the cooler nation. 5 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 2: I pay my respects for elders past and present. 6 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: I received a fantastic question from Gemma Haytif your pod 7 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: really gets it. I'm thinking about taking a zepic, but 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: wondered if you have any advice on how to get 9 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: the same weight loss results without taking weight loss medication. 10 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: I'm currently twenty five kilos overweight and desperately want to 11 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: shift it. Okay, Gemma, what a great question, and this 12 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: is something that I have been grappling with a lot. 13 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: I agree that azempic can be very effective to get 14 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: a lot of weight off you very very fast. But 15 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,919 Speaker 1: you've got to think long term. You've got to think 16 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: where are you going to be in six months, twelve months? 17 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: How are you going to keep the weight off long term? 18 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: Because once you stop taking weight loss medications, your appetite 19 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: will return and the weight will probably come back on 20 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: if you're not addressing lifestyle factors. 21 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 2: So here's the magic. 22 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: I actually know a combo of things that has exact 23 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: same effect as a zenpic, and it's far cheaper. It 24 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: may take a little bit longer, but will definitely benefit 25 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: you more longer term than a zenpic. So here it 26 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: is listen up, it's eating protein and it's lifting weights, 27 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: So let's dig into this. GLP one is a hormone 28 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: produced in the intestines that plays a crucial role in 29 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: regulating blood sugar, appetite, and digestion. Right, so enhancing its 30 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: natural production can support better metabolic health, weight management, and 31 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: even improve your energy levels. Now, these GLP one medications 32 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: are a class of medications that are mainly there to 33 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: help manage blood sugar levels in people with type two diabetes. 34 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: They're not really there for weight loss here in Australia, right, 35 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: But studies have shown that if you eat a high 36 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: protein meal, your gut releases certain hormones calls encretance, specifically 37 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: GLP one, and these hormones help regulate your blood sugar 38 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: levels by enhancing insulin secretion and also signal that you 39 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: are full, helping you to feel much fuller for longer. 40 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: So this is really really important. Then if you look 41 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: at lifting weights, weightlifting actually enhances GLP one production. Strength 42 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: training builds that precious muscle, but it enhances GLP one production, 43 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: which is just mind blowing. Exercise improves your insulin sensitivity 44 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: and it increases those GLP one levels, which helps your 45 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: body better regulate the blood, sugar, burn fat, and control 46 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: the hunger. So a combo of these is going to 47 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: enhance your metabolism and lead to an amplified release of 48 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: all of these peptides, which you are going to get 49 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: better fat metabolism, muscle recovery, and appetite control. And it's 50 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: all about the appetite control. So let's look at nailing 51 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: that nutrition. You really want to optimize your diet, and 52 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: I have some exact foods that are going to increase 53 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: the GLP one secretion. Okay, So you want to look 54 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: at fiber rich foods sauces such as vegetables, fruits, legumes, 55 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: whole grains, nuts, seeds. They're soluble fire but ferments in 56 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: the gut, right, which produces short chain fatty acids which 57 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: stimulate GLP one release. 58 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 2: Super cool. 59 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: Then you want to eat protein rich foods, eggs, fish, poultry, 60 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: tofu beans, greek, yogurt, lentils, all the good stuff. Because 61 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: protein increases the GLP one production and promotes saety so 62 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: you feel much full of for longer and not reaching 63 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: for snacks, and that weight keeps off long term. Then 64 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: you want to eat your healthy fats, sauces like avocados, nuts, seeds, 65 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: olive oil, fatty fish, and fats in the diet stimulate 66 00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: the release of bile acids, which trigger DLP one secretion. 67 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: It just blows my mind, right, So this is what 68 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: we're trying to do. We're trying to enhance a GLP 69 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: one naturally. Then look at fermented foods yogurt, kefa, kimchi, sauerkraut, 70 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: mizzo promotes a healthy gut microbiome which enhances GLP one production. 71 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: Then did you know that bitter foods such as dark 72 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: leafy greens like kale, dark chocolate, and citrus pels bitter 73 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: compounds can stimulate GLP one release as well. 74 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 2: I'm just getting way too excited about this. 75 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: Then there's a lot of studies that show that intermittent 76 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: fasting periodic fasting can actually increase the body's sensitivity to 77 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: GLP one and stimulate production. And I'm a big fan 78 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: of having a late breakfast, so having an early dinner, 79 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: say round seven eight o'clock, and then not having breakfast 80 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: until ten thirty. It's a nice little fasting window that 81 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: allows your body to be more sensitive to GLP one production. Then, 82 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: of course you've got regular exercise. Now it's not just 83 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: about resistance training, which has been proven to show a 84 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: positive impact on GLP one production, but also aerobic exercise, cycling, swimming, running, 85 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: These activities also increase GLP one production, which I just 86 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: can't talk enough about the benefits of exercise. You know, 87 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: boost mood, it's great for the body, it's great for 88 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: the mind, but it's also great for GLP one production. 89 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 2: Who would have known. 90 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: And then you've got your gut microbiome, which plays a 91 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: key role in GLP one production, right, because it's all 92 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: happening around the gut. And if you eat your yogat, 93 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: your care for your supplements that improve the gut bacteria, 94 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: that's going to improve the stimulation of the GLP one release. 95 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: But you don't just need your probiotics like your yogat. 96 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: You also need your probotics, which are found in foods 97 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: like garlic, onions, banana, asparagus, and these These also are 98 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: really really, really good for GLP one release, so prebodics. 99 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: Then you know things not to do well. You really 100 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: want to stay away from sugar, okay. You want to 101 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: make sure that you're focusing on foods that are low 102 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: glycemic index foods so they release glucose slowly, such as 103 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: your grains and legumes. You don't want a spike by 104 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: eating sugar. You want to have those frequent meals, the 105 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: small frequent meals, because eating regularly prevents those big sugar spikes, okay, 106 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: and promotes that consistent GLP one release, and that's what 107 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: we want. You really want to make sure lifestyle factors 108 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: like sleep are in control because poor sleep can disrupt 109 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: GLP one production. You want the seven to nine hours 110 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: you know, magic time of sleep. And you want to 111 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: really manage a stress because cortisol levels can suppress GLP one. 112 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: So you really want to be practicing that mindfulness, doing 113 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: a bit of yoga, some meditation, breathing whatever you can. 114 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: And then I'm a big fan of spices and herbal 115 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:08,239 Speaker 1: remedies as well. 116 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 2: I do this a lot. 117 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: So cinnamon ah helps stabilize blood sugar and enhance GLP 118 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: one production. Turmeric it's an anti inflammatory spice. It's so 119 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: great for you. And again it improves GLP one secretion 120 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: and green tea. It supports GLP one and glucose regulation. 121 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: And I mean, you say, just have a green tea, 122 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: but what you're really doing is you're really stabilizing your 123 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: blood sugars. And it's such a great thing to do. 124 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: I always love to have what I call a vulnerability 125 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: tea when I'm feeling vulnerable and I feel like eating 126 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: snacks because you know, I'm feeling anxious, and sometimes I 127 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: go to food to deal with that. I say, don't 128 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: do that. Instead, have a vulnerability tea. Sit down, breathe in, 129 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: sit with the feeling, have the tea, and make your 130 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: next move over a cup of green tea. Okay, that's 131 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: just an aside. And then you know, at the end 132 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: of the day, excessive alcohol, smoking, these things impair gut 133 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: and pancreatic function, reducing GLP one secretion. So all that's 134 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: a lot of information and a lot of tools that 135 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: you can use that give you a holistic approach to 136 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,679 Speaker 1: increasing GLP one production and enjoying better metabolic and overall 137 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: health without the expensive jobs. 138 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 2: Now I know, a zenpic is. 139 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: Super attractive because you're going to get those fast results, 140 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: but fast results for how long are you going to 141 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: lose five kilos five times over when you got on 142 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: a zenpic, off a zenpic back on it. 143 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 2: It's hard to stay on it long term. 144 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: It's expensive, it's a huge commitment, and what happens when 145 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: you go off. So you do need to think about 146 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: a long term approach and a holistic approach that helps 147 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: you really nourish your mind and your body and your 148 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: spirit so that you can eat well, enjoy life's treats, 149 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: but make sure that you're training and that you're protecting 150 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: yourself against that excessive weight gain or you know, you know, 151 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 1: anything that's going to harm your health. And all these 152 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: things that I mentioned today aren't just good long term 153 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: for weight loss, they're good long term for longevity, for 154 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: your health. 155 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 2: It's a great way to live your life. 156 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: So there are things that you can definitely do to 157 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: get the same results as o zepic and GLP one medications. 158 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: You just have to be committed and be consistent. It 159 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: is all about the consistency. Thanks so much for listening 160 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: to Bounce Forward.
