EP366 with Dr. Mindy Pelz



Food noise has become one of the biggest conversations in metabolic health, but before GLP-1 became synonymous with weight-loss medications, it was already a hormone your body knew how to make.


In this episode of Live Like a Girl, Dr. Mindy explores how the foods you eat can influence your body’s natural GLP-1 production and other signals involved in hunger and fullness.


She breaks down the role of specialized cells in the gut, why certain types of fiber feed the microbes involved in producing beneficial metabolites, and how protein, resistant starch, fermented foods, and omega-3-rich foods can help build meals that are more satisfying.


You’ll also learn why oats and beans deserve another look, what happens to starch when you cook and cool potatoes, why protein at your first meal can make such a difference, and several inexpensive foods you can begin experimenting with immediately.


This isn’t about finding another restrictive diet or expecting food to work exactly like medication. It’s about understanding the physiology already inside your body and learning how everyday food choices can support it.


In this episode:

  • What GLP-1 actually does inside your body

  • How your gut naturally produces GLP-1

  • Why some meals leave you satisfied while others leave you hungry again quickly

  • How different types of fiber influence fullness and your gut microbiome

  • How chia seeds can add fiber and staying power to a meal

  • Simple ways to build a more satisfying first meal
