Ozempic mimics the GLP-1 hormone, boosting insulin secretion, enhancing satiety, reducing glucagon release, and slowing digestion, which helps lower blood sugar levels and improve overall glycemic control. Here are some natural foods that work similarly.

Eggs are known for their high protein content, but most people don’t know that they can help with the secretion of glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1), which is the main agent responsible for the weight loss effects of Ozempic.

Berries are a natural source of nutrients. They boast a very low glycemic index and a high fibre content, which makes them excellent for satiety and preventing blood glucose spikes.
