What are GLP-1’s?

GLP-’s are a receptor agonist initially developed to manage type 2 diabetes and mitigate certain heart disease risks.

It mimics a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite.

GLP-1’s activate GIP, further enhancing insulin release, appetite suppression, and fat metabolism.

When used for weight loss, this helps to reduce hunger, increase feelings of fullness, and promote weight loss by improving how your body processes and utilizes food.

GLP-1’s work in several key ways to support healthy weight loss and reduce inflammation:

  • Appetite Regulation

    GLP-1’s affect areas of the brain responsible for appetite, reducing hunger and cravings.

  • Increased Satiety

    It promotes a feeling of fullness after eating, helping you consume fewer calories without feeling deprived.

  • Slower Gastric Emptying

    It slows gastric emptying, prolongs fullness, and helps prevent overeating.

  • Supports Long-Term Success

    Research shows that GLP-1’s, combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, can help achieve and maintain significant weight loss over time.

GLP-1’s may be a good option if you are struggling with obesity or overweight conditions and have not found success with traditional diet and exercise methods.

However, like any treatment, it's essential to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if it's the right fit for your individual needs.
