Stress management: cortisol vs GLP-1 Chronic stress: High cortisol Insulin resistance Intestinal inflammation Decreased GLP-1 Proven stress-reduction techniques: Heart coherence: 5 min, 3 times/day (365 method) Meditation: 10-20 min/day Yoga: 2-3 times/week Nature walk: 20-30 min/day Deep breathing: 4-7-8 (inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds, exhale for 8 seconds) Result: 30% reduction in cortisol = improved GLP-1 + easier weight loss Dietary supplements: a targeted boost While diet and lifestyle are the foundation, some supplements enhance GLP-1
At Lone Star Center for Health and Wellness, we administer semaglutide as a convenient, once-weekly injection, offering an alternative to the daily oral medications commonly used for weight loss
So we tested it ourselves
