GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) medications have revolutionized weight loss treatment, offering a scientifically proven approach to sustainable weight management. These medications work by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that regulates appetite and blood sugar levels.

How GLP-1 Medications Work

GLP-1 receptor agonists work through several mechanisms:

• Appetite Suppression: They signal to your brain that you're full, reducing hunger and food cravings
• Delayed Gastric Emptying: They slow down how quickly food leaves your stomach, keeping you satisfied longer
• Blood Sugar Regulation: They help stabilize blood glucose levels, reducing energy crashes and cravings
• Insulin Sensitivity: They improve how your body responds to insulin

Types of GLP-1 Medications

At YourSkinnyRx, we offer several GLP-1 treatment options:

• Semaglutide (Ozempic®/Wegovy®): Once-weekly injection, FDA-approved for weight loss
• Tirzepatide (Zepbound®): Dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, shown to achieve even greater weight loss
• Compounded Options: More affordable alternatives during medication shortages

Expected Results
