If you’ve been exploring options for weight loss, you may have heard about GLP-1 injections. These treatments are becoming one of the most talked-about tools in medical weight loss — but what exactly are they, and how do they work?
What Are GLP-1s?
GLP-1 stands for glucagon-like peptide-1, a hormone your body naturally produces. GLP-1 injections mimic this hormone, helping regulate appetite, blood sugar, and digestion.
How Do They Support Weight Loss?
- Appetite control: GLP-1s help reduce hunger and cravings.
- Slower digestion: Food stays in your stomach longer, which helps you feel full.
- Improved metabolism: They support better blood sugar control, which can help your body use energy more effectively.
Is GLP-1 Right for Everyone?
Not everyone is a candidate, which is why medical supervision is so important. At Healthy Living Medical, we evaluate your health history and goals to create a plan that’s safe and realistic.
