BALANCE HORMONES • REGULATE BLOOD SUGAR • OPTIMIZE INSULIN SENSITIVITY
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

Zeruneith is a poet, literary critic, historian, and prolific author, well known in Old Norse studies for his work on the sagas and in modern literary studies for his biographies of three famous Danish poets; he is equally well known in Classical studies for ^GThe Wooden Horse: The Liberation of the Western Mind, from Odysseus to Socrates^g (2007; original Danish 2002), for which he won Denmark's most prestigious literary award, the Sen Gyldendal Prize, in 2004. Zeruneith brings his considerable breadth of scholarly and linguistic expertise and depth of poetic and psychological insight and knowledge to bear upon Old English studies in ^GDe sidste tider: Hedenskab heroisme kristendom: en angelsaksisk overgangshistorie^g (The Last Times: Paganism Heroism Christianity: An Anglo-Saxon Transitional History, 2017). Written in Danish, Keld Zeruneith's ^GBeowulf: The Tragedy of a Hero: A Reading^g (^GBeowulf. En helts tragedie. En lAesning^g) was first published in the English translation of Paul Russell Garrett (2023).
