GLP-1 injections are a prescription medication specifically compounded to assist with weight management. When combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, GLP-1’s can help adults achieve significant weight loss. It belongs to a class of medications called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, which mimic the natural hormone GLP-1 in the body.

This treatment works by regulating blood sugar levels after meals, stimulating insulin secretion, and slowing down the release of sugar into the bloodstream. By delaying stomach emptying, GLP-1’s helps you feel fuller for longer, reducing overall calorie consumption. Clinical studies have shown that weekly GLP-1 injections can lead to an average weight loss of 9-13% over a year when combined with healthy lifestyle habits.

Your practitioner will guide you on how to administer the injections and adjust the dosage as needed. Most patients begin to see weight loss after their dose has been increased one to two times, typically within a month. It’s important to have realistic expectations and to stay consistent with your treatment plan to achieve the best results.
