Weightwell GLP-1 Activator with Berbevis®

Best kept secret to weight loss:

It is impossible to gain weight if you have little to no insulin. 

So if you can control/keep insulin low, you will never gain weight again! 

And GLP-1 helps to lower insulin and to satiate hunger!  

What is a natural GLP-1 activator?

GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) is the master hormone for metabolic control in the body.

GLP-1 controls Insulin (too much sugar/energy => then store extras in tissue => more and bigger fat cells) and glucagon (too little sugar/energy => then release stored sugar => burn fat => provide energy (glucose and ketones) to the brain => no more hunger).

GLP-1 is produced by L-cells in the gut and helps regulate/control the process to turn food into energy.

GLP-1 also controls the rate at which food moves from the stomach to the intestine, where nutrients then supply energy. The slower the better. Don't wolf your food down. 

Which means GLP-1 lowers appetite and hunger cravings. It is much easier to eat less if you don't get hungry all the time.

Therefore, GLP-1 regulates blood sugar and weight gain and loss.

GLP-1 is rapidly broken down by the DPP-4 enzyme. Quercetin helps inhibit DPP-4 and extend GLP-1 activity

What Are L-Cells?

L-cells are hormone-secreting cells in the lower intestine. They sense nutrients and then release GLP-1, PYY, and oxyntomodulin.

So the Weightwell GLP-1 Activator formula targets 

  • L-cell's stimulation (with Berbevis, Hops, L-Phenylalanine), 
  • preservation (with Quercetin), 
  • and support (with L-Glutamine). 

How the Weightwell Works in more detail:

  • Step 1: Stimulate GLP-1 by triggering L-cells to produce GLP-1 with Berbevis, Hops and L-Phenylalanine.
  • Step 2: Preserve GLP-1 by inhibiting breakdown by DPP-4 with Quercetin.
  • Step 3: Support L-cells by fueling and repairing gut lining with L-Glutamine.
  • Step 4: Take this with Nucleo, which focuses 100% on supporting the gut/L-cells and is ideal as a Low Glycemic Index meal replacement providing sustained energy without spiking the blood sugar/insulin.

Broader Benefits

  • Improves insulin resistance
  • Supports fat loss/burning, especially visceral fat
  • Helps with PCOS symptoms and hormonal balance
  • Repairs gut lining and lowers inflammation
  • Naturally controls appetite and cravings 
  • Balances post-meal blood sugar 
  • Aids metabolic syndrome markers 

Why This Formula?

By tapping into the body's own GLP-1 production, the Weightwell formulation was engineered as a natural, clinically backed alternative solution to chemical GLP-1 activators like Ozempic and Wegovy. It is a natural, non-injectable, sustainable alternative or adjunct therapy.

Berbevis® (Berberine Phytosome): Activates the AMPK pathway, known to stimulate GLP-1 production, improve insulin signaling, and support metabolic and hormonal balance. 

Phytosome is a patented delivery system that binds natural plant compounds to phospholipids (the same molecules found in cell membranes). This allows the active ingredients to pass more easily through the gut wall and into the bloodstream. Compared to conventional extracts, Phytosome enhances absorption by up to 10 times and significantly improves the effectiveness of plant-based compounds like Berberine. 

Hops Extract: Binds to bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) in the gut lining, which activates L-cells to release satiety hormones GLP-1 and CCK.

L-Phenylalanine: An amino acid proven to stimulate L-cells to release GLP-1 and PYY, reducing appetite and blood sugar spikes.

L-Glutamine: A restorative compound that fuels intestinal cells and improves L-cell health for more reliable GLP-1 production.

Nucleo contains 12 nutritional solutions to improve gut health including its own dose of L-Glutamine, spirulina, digestive enzymes and Omega 3.

Quercetin: A natural inhibitor of DPP-4, the enzyme that degrades GLP-1. This extends GLP-1 hormone activity in the bloodstream. 

Together, these ingredients address not just hormone stimulation, but preservation and gut-based support — offering a complete solution. Unlike synthetic GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic, this formula works through natural biochemical pathways to empower long-term health without abrupt crashes or side effects. 

This isn't just a list of ingredients — it's a precisely engineered ecosystem designed for synergy.

Weight loss protocols:

We have seen that intermittent fasting, along with a high protein, high fat and low carb diet as a lifestyle, is the most effective way to control sustainable weight loss.

It is then a perfect match to take 2 x Weightwell capsules with 50g of Nucleo as a first meal of the day in an intermittent fasting weight loss protocol.

On its own Nucleo (formulated with a low GI and with a focus to heal the gut lining) helps to take away cravings, but when taking 2 (or for some even 1) capsules of Weightwell with your 50g of Nucleo as a meal, you will notice significant lower insulin, blood sugar stabilization and loss of cravings.

Taking a 12 strain probiotic such as Rawbiotics will further improve the gut health.

When starting with an intermittent fasting lifestyle it is important not to start with 15 or 16 hours of daily fasting. Rather, help your body to get used to fasting over weeks and months for it to become a sustainable lifestyle,. Starting with 12 hour fast and increasing slowly over 4 months to 13 hours and then 4 months later to 14 hours etc... is much easier and more sustainable.  

If you cannot fast for so many hours then take one Weightwell capsule with breakfast (ideally make Nucleo your breakfast) and take one Weightwell capsule with your lunch. Take only two capsules per day,

Of course you can use the Weightwell without Nucleo if you prefer other high protein, high fat, low carb foods. However we believe Nucleo is the most affordable gram for gram per 50g dose.

Two capsules (only 2 per day) contain the following:  

Ingredient Dosage  Function
Berbevis® (Berberine Phytosome™) 500 mg Hero ingredient. Activates GLP-1 hormone via AMPK pathway. Improves insulin & metabolic health. 10x more absorbable.
Hops Flower Extract (10:1) 500 mg Activates bitter taste receptors in gut → triggers GLP-1 + CCK release → boosts fullness & gut-brain signals.
L-Phenylalanine 100 mg Amino acid that directly turns on GLP-1 + PYY → controls hunger & steadies blood sugar.
L-Glutamine 100 mg Fuels gut lining, supports L-cell health, boosts GLP-1 output, and helps repair gut wall.
Quercetin 15 mg Natural DPP-4 blocker → slows GLP-1 breakdown → keeps it active longer.

 

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this be used with GLP-1 medicine like Ozempic or Wegovy?

Yes. It complements and enhances effects, helping with metabolic resilience. The idea is to wean off the drugs until you only use the Weightwell natural alternative.

Can this help people wean off injectables?

Yes. It supports your body's natural GLP-1 system during the transition. 

Why Berbevis® over generic berberine?

10x better absorption, clinically proven, award-winning, no irritation. 

Can Nucleo and Weightwell be taken by diabetics?

Yes, it works very effectively to control blood sugar for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics. In fact it works for anyone with metabolic imbalance — PCOS, cravings, insulin resistance or general weight loss problems. Nucleo has a Glycemic Index (GI) of 36 which is low and therefore ideal to stabilize blood sugar.

Can Weightwell be taken without Nucleo and have the same impact?

Yes you can take Weightwell with any low GI food. However, we believe with 43 ingredients Nucleo is the most affordable meal replacement gram for gram per 50g dose. 

How long to see results?

Clinically shown results in 30-60 days. 

Can Weightwell be used long-term?

Yes. All ingredients are safe, natural, and suitable for long-term use.
