What Are GLP-1 Weight Loss Injections?
GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of medications originally developed for type 2 diabetes that have shown remarkable results for weight management. These injectable medications work by mimicking a natural hormone in your body called glucagon-like peptide-1. They slow gastric emptying, reduce appetite, and help regulate blood sugar levels.
The most well-known medications in this category include semaglutide and tirzepatide. Clinical trials have demonstrated that patients using these medications can lose a significant percentage of their body weight when combined with lifestyle changes.
How They Work in Your Body
When you inject a GLP-1 medication, it activates receptors in your brain that control hunger and satiety. You feel fuller after smaller meals and experience fewer cravings between meals. This isn't a willpower-based approach. It's a medical intervention that changes the hormonal signals driving overeating.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
These medications are typically prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Our physicians will review your complete health profile during your telehealth consultation to determine if you qualify.
