GLP-1s, or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, are a class of medications that play an essential role in medical weight loss. They regulate appetite and slow down digestion, which helps control blood sugar levels and reduce overall calorie intake.
GLP-1s, or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, have become an integral part of medical weight loss due to their ability to regulate several key aspects of metabolism. Medications in this class mimic a natural hormone that affects the brain’s appetite centers, reducing hunger and increasing satiety. The presence of GLP-1s also reduces overall calorie consumption due to slowing down stomach emptying, which helps control blood sugar levels. Weight loss is successfully achieved with GLP-1s as they promote these changes within the body, as well as improvements in blood sugar control and improved cardiovascular health.
Our program is not only about your weight, but more about your overall health.
