GLP-1 For Weight Loss
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.
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.
*Appropriate medications for weight loss will be discussed during your consultation.
