What is GLP-1?
GLP-1 is a receptor agonist originally developed to support type 2 diabetes management. It works by mimicking a natural hormone (GLP-1) that helps regulate blood sugar, slows digestion, and communicates with the brain to reduce hunger and food cravings. This combination not only supports balanced blood sugar but can also make it easier to manage weight.
Unlike older appetite suppressants, GLP-1 medications act on a different pathway and have shown impressive results for both metabolic health and weight management.
How do GLP-1s Support Weight Loss?
Regulate appetite – Help you feel fuller faster and stay satisfied longer.
Reduce cravings – Quiet signals that trigger overeating or mindless snacking.
Slow digestion – Keep energy levels steady and prevent blood sugar spikes.
Improve insulin sensitivity – Support healthier blood sugar control and metabolism.
Encourage steady weight loss – Promote gradual, sustainable results instead of quick fixes.
How is it Administered?
GLP-1 therapy is delivered as a once-weekly injection by our trained providers.
Injections are given just under the skin, usually in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
The process is quick, comfortable, and designed to make getting started easy and stress-free.
