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

Expected Results
