## Resource

Madonna Guy from The Natural Alternative delivered a deep dive into how chronic stress, trauma, and elevated cortisol disrupt the body’s metabolic signalling systems—particularly the incretin hormones GLP‑1, GLP‑2, and GIP. She explained how persistent cortisol elevation drives insulin resistance, weakens gut–brain communication, and creates a cycle of hunger without satisfaction, fatigue after meals, and difficulty losing weight. This metabolic loop, she noted, often leaves people feeling overwhelmed, inflamed, and stuck despite their best efforts. The discussion explored how specific foods can either elevate or reduce cortisol, and how nutrient‑dense, fibre‑rich, fermented, and bitter foods naturally support the incretin system. Madonna highlighted that while these foods still help people with incretin or insulin resistance, the benefits may be muted until underlying stress and trauma are addressed. She also spoke about the limitations of GLP‑1 agonist medications, including potential muscle and collagen loss, and emphasised the importance of holistic approaches that support emotional wellbeing, gut repair, and long‑term metabolic balance. To support individuals seeking deeper healing, Madonna shared information about holistic counselling sessions and bioresonance scanning, both designed to help regulate the nervous system and address emotional blocks that contribute to metabolic dysregulation. She also introduced TriGLP as a natural option for supporting gut health, nutrient absorption, and healthy weight management.
