About GLP-1s
How Do GLP-1s Work?
GLP-1s are prescription medications specifically compounded to support weight management. When used alongside a balanced diet and regular physical activity, GLP-1s may assist adults with their wellness goals. These medications belong to the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist class, which work similarly to the body's natural GLP-1 hormone.
This treatment may help by:
Supporting healthy blood sugar levels after eating
Aiding the body's natural insulin response
Slowing digestion to potentially promote feelings of fullness
Helping manage calorie intake
What to expect during GLP-1 Treatment
GLP-1s are administered via a simple injection just under the skin (subcutaneously), typically in the abdomen. Your practitioner will guide you on how to administer the injections and adjust the dosage as needed. Most patients begin to see weight loss after their dose has been increased one to two times, typically within a month. It’s important to have realistic expectations and to stay consistent with your treatment plan to achieve the best results.
Who is a good candidate for GLP-1 Treatment?
GLP-1s are ideal for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater or for adults with a BMI of 27 who also have at least one weight-related complication such as hypertension, insulin resistance, high cholesterol, or heart disease. However, it’s not suitable for everyone. People with the following conditions should avoid GLP-1 treatment:
Pregnant or breastfeeding women
Individuals with a history of pancreatitis
Those with Type-1 diabetes
People allergic to GLP-1s or any of its ingredients
Individuals with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2
Those with a history of thyroid cancer
Always consult a medical professional before starting GLP-1s to ensure it’s the right fit for you.
