Weight Loss with GPL-1's
GLP-1's are FDA approved weight loss injectionsthat can assist in long term weight management. They work by mimicking the effects of a hormone called GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite. These injections can assist in reducing body weight and improving overall health when used as part of a comprehensive weight management plan with a balanced diet and exercise.
What is it?
Semaglutide injections work by mimicking a hormone in our body called GLP-1, which plays a role in regulating our appetite and food intake. Taking the injections mimics the effects of this hormone in your body.
By mimicking GLP-1, semaglutide helps to reduce your appetite. It also slows down the emptying of your stomach, which means you feel fuller for longer after eating a meal.
In addition to curbing your appetite, semaglutide can also help regulate your blood sugar levels and promote the release of insulin, a hormone that helps control blood sugar.
All of these effects work together to support weight loss. By reducing your hunger, making you feel fuller for longer, and helping regulate blood sugar, semaglutide injections can assist you in achieving your weight loss goals when combined with a healthy diet and exercise. There are now three GLP medications used in weight loss, Semaglutide, Tirzepatide and Retatrutide. Book a consult today to find out which one is right for you.
