GLP-1 receptor agonists such as Ozempic and Wegovy are transforming how obesity and diabetes are treated. But how does the body’s natural GLP-1 response compare to the effects of these drugs? In this lecture, Sean Adams, Professor and Director of the Nutrition for Transformative Healthcare Program at UC Davis School of Medicine, explores the physiology of gut hormones and how they naturally respond after meals.
"The Science of Metabolic Hormones: Precision Nutrition in the 'Ozempic Era'" is a forum that took place at UC Davis' Sacramento campus on October 6-7, 2025. Guided by leading UC Davis researchers, the forum explored how deep scientific understanding of metabolic hormones like GLP-1s can inspire a new wave of innovation—shaping the future of food for health in meaningful, lasting ways.
