A groundbreaking handbook for activating your body's naturally occurring weight-loss hormones without relying on medication, from the former director at the pharmaceutical company behind Wegovy and Ozempic.

In 2022, the world changed drastically when GLP-1 medications became popular in the market. But with prices soaring and production restricted, the benefits of these drugs are not accessible to all. The good news is the major component in these drugs mimics the effect of one of the body's very own natural weight-loss hormones—so why not let your body do the work?

For more than twenty years, Dr Anette Sams has worked as a pharmaceutical researcher—including six years at Novo Nordisk, where she specialised in and led research on blood sugar, diabetes, and inflammation—and she's now sharing her expertise worldwide. In Let Your Body Do the Work, Sams explains how the naturally occurring GLP-1 hormone works in the body and shares practical, everyday tips on how to activate it through nutrition and lifestyle tweaks.

This powerful hormone can not only help to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, but also regulate blood sugar and appetite, improve insulin sensitivity, reduce inflammation, support satiety, and support natural prevention of common diseases. An instant bestseller in Denmark, Let Your Body Do the Work is your resource for accessing the benefits of healthy, active weight-loss hormones without the hefty price tag.

'The most important GLP-1 conversation no one is having.'—David Perlmutter, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grain Brain and Brain Defenders.

'It should never be easier to get expensive injections than to understand our own hormones. The world needs both medication and education.'—Anette Sams
