What Are GLP-1 Injections?

GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) receptor agonists are a class of medications that mimic a natural hormone in the body responsible for regulating blood sugar, appetite, and digestion. These injections, commonly prescribed for weight loss and type 2 diabetes management, have been shown to help individuals:
✅ Reduce appetite and cravings
✅ Slow digestion for longer-lasting fullness
✅ Regulate blood sugar levels
✅ Support sustainable, long-term weight loss
Common GLP-1 medications include Semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®), which have gained widespread recognition for their effectiveness in managing weight and metabolic disorders.

How Do GLP-1 Injections Work?

GLP-1 receptor agonists act on the brain’s appetite centers, helping to reduce hunger and control portion sizes. They also delay gastric emptying, which keeps food in the stomach longer, leading to prolonged satiety. Additionally, these medications help regulate insulin and glucagon production, ensuring more stable blood sugar levels and reducing the risk of insulin resistance.

Who Can Benefit from GLP-1 Injections?

GLP-1 injections may be beneficial for individuals who:
✔ Struggle with obesity or excess weight (BMI ≥ 27 with weight-related conditions or BMI ≥ 30)
✔ Have difficulty losing weight through diet and exercise alone
✔ Have prediabetes, metabolic syndrome, or insulin resistance
✔ Need support in controlling appetite and food cravings
