What are GLP-1 Medications?
GLP-1s are a class of injectable or oral medications originally developed to treat Type 2Diabetes, but now also FDA-approved for weight loss in patients with:
- BMI≥30(obese), or
- BMI≥27 (overweight) with a related condition (e.g., high blood pressure, prediabetes, PCOS)
They work by mimicking the natural GLP-1 hormone, which:
- Slows digestion (you feel full longer)
- Reduces appetite and food cravings
- Improves insulin sensitivity and glucose control
- May protectthe heart and kidneys
Benefits of GLP-1 Therapy
- Significant weight loss (10–22%of body weight)
- Better blood sugar control
- Reduced appetite and fewer cravings
- Lower risk of cardiovascular disease
- Improved energy, confidence, and mobility
