Why We Love GLP-1 Weight Loss Medication
Our weight loss medication belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists that act on the brain, pancreas, and GI system to help with satiety and gastric absorption of food. In the past, GLP-1 was used in patients with type 2 diabetes to improve glycemic control. There have been many clinical studies that show GLP-1 as an effective weight loss solution. Patients can expect:
✓ Decreased appetite
✓ Improved blood sugar control
✓ Increased fat loss
✓ Lower risk of certain
Health conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol. While GLP-1 is a reliable long-term weight management solution, we believe it works best as an adjunct to diet and exercise.
