GLP-1- Medication assisted weight loss

What is GLP-1 and How Does It Support Weight Loss?

   GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) is a naturally occurring hormone in the body that plays a key    

   role in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite. In recent years, synthetic GLP-1 receptor 

   agonists have been developed as a medical treatment to aid in weight loss.

How Does GLP-1 Work for Weight Management?

   GLP-1 helps control hunger by signaling to the brain that you are full, reducing food intake. It 

   also slows gastric emptying, which makes you feel satisfied longer after eating. These effects 

   combined can lead to reduced calorie consumption and support weight loss efforts.

Benefits of GLP-1 Therapy:

• Promotes significant weight reduction when combined with lifestyle changes
• Improves blood sugar control, beneficial for those with or at risk of type 2 diabetes
• May reduce appetite and cravings

Is GLP-1 Right for You?

   GLP-1 therapies are typically prescribed by healthcare professionals for individuals struggling 

   with obesity or weight management, especially if associated with metabolic conditions. Always 

   consult with a healthcare provider to determine if this treatment is appropriate for your needs.
