GLP-Boosting Bundle
4 more items in GLP-Boosting BundleThe products below are both appropriate support for those taking GLP-1s for weight loss/blood sugar regulation AND a non-pharmaceutical alternative to GLP-1 medication before choosing that route for weight loss. Akkermansia muciniphila is a strain of probiotic found to stimulate GLP-1 production in the gut and improve metabolism while stabilizing blood sugar (1). "Numerous studies have also found reduced A. muciniphila levels associated with not only diabetes ( Yassour et al., 2016 ; Chelakkot et al., 2018 ; Medina-Vera et al., 2019 ), but also its related diseases, including hyperlipidemia ( Yu et al., 2021 ), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease ( Kim et al., 2020 ; Zhang et al., 2022 ), and chronic kidney disease( Hsu et al., 2020 )."(2) Adding Akkermansia Postbiotic for at least one month will help establish a colonization, while supplementing with berberine will continue to feed and nurture it. (May need to supplement for 90 days) Thorne's Amino Complex Berry Powder NSF provides amino acid support necessary to prevent any muscle wasting (catabolism) from undereating, which is common with those taking GLP-1. Digestive support to prevent constipation and encourage absorption is provided by the Fermented Digestive Enzymes/Probiotic blend (with black pepper to aid in absorption of the berberine, so take these together). Colon-Caps Plus are a great option to have on hand should constipation be an issue. While this is not always an adequate solution, it is an optimal option. If digestive remains slow, it is likely that magnesium is also an issue. I've included Oxy-Powder , a magnesium oxide that is intended to clear the GI tract NOT raise magnesium tissue levels. Use only for short-term when really needed. Please reach out for tailored options! References: 1. Yoon, H.S., Cho, C.H., Yun, M.S. et al.

Histamine-Lowering Supplements
2 more items in Histamine-Lowering SupplementsSome people struggle with clearing histamines from their system and concurrently, producing GABA--your relaxation neurotransmitter. If you need a glass of wine to unwind every night and a cup of coffee to get going in the morning, you can assume your GABA-Histamine pathway is compromised. You are stuck in a loop with no way out until you reduce both caffeine and alcohol intake. If that sounds impossible, terrifying, or plain unappealing, read this: More Life, Less Noise: Reducing Alcohol and Caffeine Might Just Restore Your Balance It can be done, you can do it, and your body will be so grateful that you did. Below are products that can help support this endeavor by boosting GABA production naturally, eliminating excess dietary histamines, and blunting the ill-effects of alcohol and caffeine withdrawal. *Note Drink HD and Histazyme are similar/comparable products at different price points. You can purchase both, of course, but only one or the other is necessary. Drink HD contains an extra enzyme.
