What are GLP-1s, and How Do They Work?

GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) medications are a groundbreaking class of drugs originally developed for diabetes treatment but increasingly recognized for their powerful weight-loss effects. These medications mimic a naturally occurring hormone in your body that regulates appetite, digestion, and metabolism.

Here's how GLP-1 medications support weight loss:

  • Appetite Suppression: They signal your brain to feel full, significantly reducing hunger cravings and curbing overeating.
  • Slowed Digestion: GLP-1 medications delay stomach emptying, helping you feel satisfied longer after eating smaller portions.
  • Blood Sugar Regulation: GLP-1 medications improve insulin sensitivity and stabilize blood glucose levels, helping manage cravings and energy fluctuations that often sabotage traditional diets.
  • Enhanced Metabolism: They support a healthier metabolic function, making your body more efficient at burning calories and shedding excess fat.
  • Long-Term Weight Management: Because of their hormone-like behavior, GLP-1 medications offer sustained effectiveness, helping patients maintain significant weight loss over the long term.

This targeted approach to weight loss makes GLP-1 therapy ideal for patients seeking sustainable, transformative results beyond what traditional methods can achieve.

Am I a Good Candidate for Weight Loss with GLP-1?

GLP-1 therapy can be transformative for many individuals seeking effective, medically supported weight loss. However, it's essential to understand whether you're a suitable candidate based on specific health and weight criteria.

You may be an ideal candidate for GLP-1 weight-loss therapy if:

  • You have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, indicating obesity
  • You have a BMI of 27 or higher and at least one weight-related medical condition, such as:
    • High blood pressure (hypertension)
    • High cholesterol or triglycerides
    • Type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes
    • Obstructive sleep apnea
    • Heart disease or increased cardiovascular risk factors
  • You have tried traditional weight-loss methods (diet, exercise) without sustained success
  • You're seeking medically supervised weight management, especially if other approaches have been ineffective
  • You are committed to lifestyle modifications, including dietary changes, increased physical activity, and regular follow-ups

During your consultation, we’ll comprehensively evaluate your medical history, current health status, and weight-loss goals to determine if GLP-1 therapy is right for you.
