GLP-1 Weight Loss Program
Our patients can expect to lose weight and improve their health with weekly GLP-1 injections. Some of the key benefits include:
-
Significant weight loss: GLP-1 injections have been shown to help individuals lose an average of 15% of their body weight during clinical trials.
-
Reduced risk of obesity-related health problems: Losing weight with a GLP-1 injection can help reduce the risk of health complications such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
-
Improved blood sugar control: GLP-1injections can help regulate blood sugar levels in individuals who already experience type 2 diabetes, leading to better overall health outcomes.
-
Increased feeling of fullness: GLP-1 injections work by reducing appetite and increasing the feeling of fullness, making it easier for individuals to keep to a healthy diet.
-
Convenient and easy to use: A GLP-1 injection is administered once a week, making it a convenient and hassle-free option for weight loss.
GLP-1 is a natural hormone that is produced by the gastrointestinal system to help with insulin production by stimulating the pancreas, but it can also help signal to the brain a feeling of fullness. When it is consumed or injected, the body reacts to it as if it naturally produced the GLP-1.
For weight loss the injections slow the emptying of the stomach by binding to the receptors that are located in the lining of the stomach. The slower emptying of the stomach sends a signal of fullness to the brain. This helps reduce your food intake and decreases your appetite, two things that are necessary for weight loss, because you feel full and are less likely to want to eat.
By combining insulin production, which encourages the body to break down foods and fats more efficiently, with the feeling of fullness that comes from the slower emptying of the stomach, you can see dramatic weight loss results with the use of GLP-1 injections.
