GLP-1 For Weight Loss
Patients taking GLP-1 to lose weight saw significant weight loss, an average of 15% of body weight, after 1 year. GLP-1 is FDA approved for long term, or chronic weight management.
GLP-1 helps with losing weight by targeting areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. In this way, GLP-1 can help you lose weight by helping you stick to a reduced calorie diet, resulting in weight loss over the long term.
*Appropriate medications for weight loss will be discussed during your consultation.
GLP-1 helps your body manage blood sugar levels and can also curb your appetite, leading you to eat less.
It works on multiple fronts:
Triggers your body to send out insulin right when your blood sugar spikes
Sweeps extra sugar out of your bloodstream
Tells your liver to ease up on pumping sugar into your system
Turns down your appetite, so you feel full with less food
Slows the speed at which food leaves your stomach, helping you stay satisfied longer
