About this listen

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

“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


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 specialized 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.

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

Critic reviews

“As obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic disease reach crisis levels worldwide, Anette Sams delivers a timely and hopeful message: your body is not broken, it is under-supported. With clarity and compassion, she shows how modern food and lifestyle choices silence our innate health mechanisms, and how simple, evidence-based changes can reactivate them. This book needs to be center stage in today’s conversation about health. 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

“A clear-eyed, science-driven reframing of weight and health, Let Your Body Do the Work explains how modern food and lifestyle disrupt our natural biology, and how working with your body can restore agency, dignity, and lasting metabolic health.”—Uma Naidoo, MD, MPH, Nutritional Psychiatrist, Chef, Nutritional Biologist & author of Calm Your Mind with Food

“In Let Your Body Do the Work, the uniquely qualified and expert Dr. Anette Sams gives all due credit to the GLP-1 breakthrough- to which she contributed- while also providing science-backed ways to achieve the very same metabolic benefits without costly medications. She empowers readers with the clear, rarefied information to make the best personal choice. This is a book that can help elevate first your knowledge and understanding- and then your health, and the quality of your life.”—David L. Katz, MD, MPH, author, Founder of the Yale University Prevention Research Center
