How GLP-1 Aids Weight Loss
GLP-1 assists in weight loss through several mechanisms:
Appetite Suppression: It interacts with brain receptors to decrease hunger, leading to reduced calorie intake.
Delayed Gastric Emptying: Slowing stomach emptying prolongs satiety after meals, helping control appetite.
Improved Insulin Sensitivity: Enhancing insulin response aids in better blood sugar control, which is crucial for weight management.
Clinical studies have demonstrated that individuals using GLP-1s, alongside lifestyle modifications, experienced significant weight loss compared to those employing lifestyle changes alone.
Benefits of GLP-1 Weight Loss Plans
Effective Weight Reduction: Clinical trials indicate that GLP-1 can lead to substantial weight loss when combined with diet and exercise.
Cardiovascular Health Improvement: Weight loss achieved with GLP-1 may reduce the risk of heart disease and related conditions.
Enhanced Quality of Life: Achieving a healthier weight can boost energy levels, mobility, and overall well-being.

Disclaimer: Individual results may vary. Consult with our healthcare providers to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your needs.
GLP-1 drugs typically start to exert their effects within the first few days to weeks of treatment. Many people experience improvements in blood sugar control and may notice a reduction in post-meal glucose spikes relatively quickly after starting treatment. However, it may take several weeks to months to achieve optimal results with GLP-1 treatment.
Yes, GLP-1 drugs are often used in combination with other diabetes medications, such as metformin or insulin. Combining therapies can enhance their effectiveness and may be particularly beneficial for individuals who require additional blood sugar control beyond what can be achieved with one medication alone.
Yes; do not get your GLP-1 medication injected at least one week prior to your surgery or procedure, as there is a concern for slow stomach emptying time and risk of aspiration with anesthesia.
GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP medications alone are not usually associated with low blood sugar (also known as hypoglycaemia). However, if used in combination with other diabetes medications that can lower blood sugar (such as insulin or sulfonylureas), there can be an increased risk.
Injectable GLP-1s and GLP-1/GIPs can be taken at any time of day – regardless of meals. They are taken once weekly and should be taken on the same day of the week, at roughly the same time of day if possible.
GLP-1 medications are typically used long-term for weight management. The duration of treatment varies based on individual needs and response. Our team will work with you to determine the optimal treatment duration.
Weight regain is common if the medication is discontinued. However, combining the medication with lifestyle changes (diet and exercise) can help maintain weight loss. We provide comprehensive support to help you maintain your results long-term.
