What are GLP-1s?

GLP-1 medications are a class of clinically proven treatments prescribed for weight loss. They work by mimicking a hormone your body naturally produces after eating that controls blood sugar and appetite, which are key to losing weight.

How do GLP-1s work?

GLP-1 medications work by mimicking a hormone your body already produces naturally which is released in your gut after you eat. In people struggling with weight it helps:

Regulate your appetite and reduce hunger
Slow digestion so you feel fuller for longer
Signal to your brain that you’ve had enough to eat
Reduce cravings and support sustainable weight loss over time
