WEBVTT - Thinking of Trying Ozempic for Weight Loss? Try This First! 

0:00:01.560 --> 0:00:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Hi, and welcome back to Bounce Forward with me, Tip Haul.

0:00:05.120 --> 0:00:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land

0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:10.799
<v Speaker 1>on which I'm recording this podcast, so we're rendering people

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 1>of the cooler nation.

0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:14.720
<v Speaker 2>I pay my respects for elders past and present.

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:21.120
<v Speaker 1>I received a fantastic question from Gemma Haytif your pod

0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:24.200
<v Speaker 1>really gets it. I'm thinking about taking a zepic, but

0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 1>wondered if you have any advice on how to get

0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>the same weight loss results without taking weight loss medication.

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm currently twenty five kilos overweight and desperately want to

0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:38.440
<v Speaker 1>shift it. Okay, Gemma, what a great question, and this

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 1>is something that I have been grappling with a lot.

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I agree that azempic can be very effective to get

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of weight off you very very fast. But

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:49.919
<v Speaker 1>you've got to think long term. You've got to think

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:52.479
<v Speaker 1>where are you going to be in six months, twelve months?

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 1>How are you going to keep the weight off long term?

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Because once you stop taking weight loss medications, your appetite

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>will return and the weight will probably come back on

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>if you're not addressing lifestyle factors.

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 2>So here's the magic.

0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:08.800
<v Speaker 1>I actually know a combo of things that has exact

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>same effect as a zenpic, and it's far cheaper. It

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:16.040
<v Speaker 1>may take a little bit longer, but will definitely benefit

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 1>you more longer term than a zenpic. So here it

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 1>is listen up, it's eating protein and it's lifting weights,

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>So let's dig into this. GLP one is a hormone

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.039
<v Speaker 1>produced in the intestines that plays a crucial role in

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>regulating blood sugar, appetite, and digestion. Right, so enhancing its

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 1>natural production can support better metabolic health, weight management, and

0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 1>even improve your energy levels. Now, these GLP one medications

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.720
<v Speaker 1>are a class of medications that are mainly there to

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>help manage blood sugar levels in people with type two diabetes.

0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>They're not really there for weight loss here in Australia, right,

0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.960
<v Speaker 1>But studies have shown that if you eat a high

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 1>protein meal, your gut releases certain hormones calls encretance, specifically

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>GLP one, and these hormones help regulate your blood sugar

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 1>levels by enhancing insulin secretion and also signal that you

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 1>are full, helping you to feel much fuller for longer.

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 1>So this is really really important. Then if you look

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 1>at lifting weights, weightlifting actually enhances GLP one production. Strength

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:29.400
<v Speaker 1>training builds that precious muscle, but it enhances GLP one production,

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 1>which is just mind blowing. Exercise improves your insulin sensitivity

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>and it increases those GLP one levels, which helps your

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 1>body better regulate the blood, sugar, burn fat, and control

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 1>the hunger. So a combo of these is going to

0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 1>enhance your metabolism and lead to an amplified release of

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 1>all of these peptides, which you are going to get

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 1>better fat metabolism, muscle recovery, and appetite control. And it's

0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>all about the appetite control. So let's look at nailing

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 1>that nutrition. You really want to optimize your diet, and

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I have some exact foods that are going to increase

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the GLP one secretion. Okay, So you want to look

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 1>at fiber rich foods sauces such as vegetables, fruits, legumes,

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:23.680
<v Speaker 1>whole grains, nuts, seeds. They're soluble fire but ferments in

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:27.520
<v Speaker 1>the gut, right, which produces short chain fatty acids which

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 1>stimulate GLP one release.

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Super cool.

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Then you want to eat protein rich foods, eggs, fish, poultry,

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 1>tofu beans, greek, yogurt, lentils, all the good stuff. Because

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 1>protein increases the GLP one production and promotes saety so

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>you feel much full of for longer and not reaching

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 1>for snacks, and that weight keeps off long term. Then

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 1>you want to eat your healthy fats, sauces like avocados, nuts, seeds,

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 1>olive oil, fatty fish, and fats in the diet stimulate

0:03:56.120 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>the release of bile acids, which trigger DLP one secretion.

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 1>It just blows my mind, right, So this is what

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.520
<v Speaker 1>we're trying to do. We're trying to enhance a GLP

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 1>one naturally. Then look at fermented foods yogurt, kefa, kimchi, sauerkraut,

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:19.479
<v Speaker 1>mizzo promotes a healthy gut microbiome which enhances GLP one production.

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Then did you know that bitter foods such as dark

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:27.159
<v Speaker 1>leafy greens like kale, dark chocolate, and citrus pels bitter

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 1>compounds can stimulate GLP one release as well.

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm just getting way too excited about this.

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Then there's a lot of studies that show that intermittent

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:41.719
<v Speaker 1>fasting periodic fasting can actually increase the body's sensitivity to

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:45.000
<v Speaker 1>GLP one and stimulate production. And I'm a big fan

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:49.040
<v Speaker 1>of having a late breakfast, so having an early dinner,

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 1>say round seven eight o'clock, and then not having breakfast

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 1>until ten thirty. It's a nice little fasting window that

0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:01.839
<v Speaker 1>allows your body to be more sensitive to GLP one production. Then,

0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:06.359
<v Speaker 1>of course you've got regular exercise. Now it's not just

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 1>about resistance training, which has been proven to show a

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 1>positive impact on GLP one production, but also aerobic exercise, cycling, swimming, running,

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:21.480
<v Speaker 1>These activities also increase GLP one production, which I just

0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>can't talk enough about the benefits of exercise. You know,

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.680
<v Speaker 1>boost mood, it's great for the body, it's great for

0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the mind, but it's also great for GLP one production.

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:32.039
<v Speaker 2>Who would have known.

0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 1>And then you've got your gut microbiome, which plays a

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>key role in GLP one production, right, because it's all

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:42.599
<v Speaker 1>happening around the gut. And if you eat your yogat,

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.600
<v Speaker 1>your care for your supplements that improve the gut bacteria,

0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:50.159
<v Speaker 1>that's going to improve the stimulation of the GLP one release.

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:54.120
<v Speaker 1>But you don't just need your probiotics like your yogat.

0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:56.600
<v Speaker 1>You also need your probotics, which are found in foods

0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 1>like garlic, onions, banana, asparagus, and these These also are

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:06.000
<v Speaker 1>really really, really good for GLP one release, so prebodics.

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Then you know things not to do well. You really

0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>want to stay away from sugar, okay. You want to

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.160
<v Speaker 1>make sure that you're focusing on foods that are low

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:21.360
<v Speaker 1>glycemic index foods so they release glucose slowly, such as

0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 1>your grains and legumes. You don't want a spike by

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 1>eating sugar. You want to have those frequent meals, the

0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 1>small frequent meals, because eating regularly prevents those big sugar spikes, okay,

0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:37.040
<v Speaker 1>and promotes that consistent GLP one release, and that's what

0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.520
<v Speaker 1>we want. You really want to make sure lifestyle factors

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:43.760
<v Speaker 1>like sleep are in control because poor sleep can disrupt

0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 1>GLP one production. You want the seven to nine hours

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, magic time of sleep. And you want to

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 1>really manage a stress because cortisol levels can suppress GLP one.

0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 1>So you really want to be practicing that mindfulness, doing

0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:04.000
<v Speaker 1>a bit of yoga, some meditation, breathing whatever you can.

0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.280
<v Speaker 1>And then I'm a big fan of spices and herbal

0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:08.239
<v Speaker 1>remedies as well.

0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 2>I do this a lot.

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>So cinnamon ah helps stabilize blood sugar and enhance GLP

0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:19.120
<v Speaker 1>one production. Turmeric it's an anti inflammatory spice. It's so

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:23.120
<v Speaker 1>great for you. And again it improves GLP one secretion

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 1>and green tea. It supports GLP one and glucose regulation.

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, you say, just have a green tea,

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 1>but what you're really doing is you're really stabilizing your

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.480
<v Speaker 1>blood sugars. And it's such a great thing to do.

0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 1>I always love to have what I call a vulnerability

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:43.360
<v Speaker 1>tea when I'm feeling vulnerable and I feel like eating

0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.760
<v Speaker 1>snacks because you know, I'm feeling anxious, and sometimes I

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 1>go to food to deal with that. I say, don't

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 1>do that. Instead, have a vulnerability tea. Sit down, breathe in,

0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>sit with the feeling, have the tea, and make your

0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 1>next move over a cup of green tea. Okay, that's

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 1>just an aside. And then you know, at the end

0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:08.840
<v Speaker 1>of the day, excessive alcohol, smoking, these things impair gut

0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 1>and pancreatic function, reducing GLP one secretion. So all that's

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of information and a lot of tools that

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:21.840
<v Speaker 1>you can use that give you a holistic approach to

0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:26.679
<v Speaker 1>increasing GLP one production and enjoying better metabolic and overall

0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 1>health without the expensive jobs.

0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:31.680
<v Speaker 2>Now I know, a zenpic is.

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Super attractive because you're going to get those fast results,

0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.160
<v Speaker 1>but fast results for how long are you going to

0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>lose five kilos five times over when you got on

0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.439
<v Speaker 1>a zenpic, off a zenpic back on it.

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.000
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to stay on it long term.

0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 1>It's expensive, it's a huge commitment, and what happens when

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 1>you go off. So you do need to think about

0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:57.400
<v Speaker 1>a long term approach and a holistic approach that helps

0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:01.760
<v Speaker 1>you really nourish your mind and your body and your

0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 1>spirit so that you can eat well, enjoy life's treats,

0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.040
<v Speaker 1>but make sure that you're training and that you're protecting

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 1>yourself against that excessive weight gain or you know, you know,

0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:17.439
<v Speaker 1>anything that's going to harm your health. And all these

0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.120
<v Speaker 1>things that I mentioned today aren't just good long term

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:23.040
<v Speaker 1>for weight loss, they're good long term for longevity, for

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 1>your health.

0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:25.800
<v Speaker 2>It's a great way to live your life.

0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:29.320
<v Speaker 1>So there are things that you can definitely do to

0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 1>get the same results as o zepic and GLP one medications.

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:38.600
<v Speaker 1>You just have to be committed and be consistent. It

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 1>is all about the consistency. Thanks so much for listening
