"The medication might be degraded faster in one individual than in another," she says, which might also explain the different responses to GLP-1s

Sometimes patients just lost weight and then they were happy
Certain polyphenol-rich foods have shown promise in preliminary research: Green tea contains catechins that may influence metabolic pathways Berries (blueberries, strawberries, blackberries) provide anthocyanins with potential metabolic benefits Turmeric (curcumin) has been investigated for effects on glucose metabolism It is crucial to emphasise that while these foods may support natural GLP-1 production, there is no official link established between consuming specific foods and clinically significant increases in GLP-1 comparable to pharmaceutical treatments
These often improve over time but consult your healthcare provider if they persist or worsen
