GLP-1 Series: The Science of How They Work

In this episode

GLP-1 medications are everywhere in the headlines.

They're changing the conversation around weight loss, diabetes, and metabolic health—but behind the buzz is a fascinating story about how the body regulates hunger, fullness, blood sugar, and energy balance.

In this episode of the Stable Health Podcast, Sharon explains the science behind GLP-1 medications in plain language.

You'll learn what GLP-1 actually is, how these medications work inside the body, why they help people feel fuller with less food, and how they affect blood sugar regulation, insulin response, digestion, and appetite signaling.

Sharon also explores why obesity is increasingly understood as a complex metabolic condition rather than simply a matter of willpower, and why GLP-1 medications have become one of the most significant advances in metabolic medicine in decades.

Whether you're taking a GLP-1 medication, considering one, or simply curious about the science behind the headlines, this episode offers a clear, evidence-based explanation of what's really happening inside the body.

Because understanding your metabolism is the first step toward improving it.
