About GLP injections:
How Do they Work?
GLPs are prescription medications specifically compounded to assist with weight management. When combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, these medications can help adults achieve significant weight loss. GLPs, or glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, mimic the natural hormone GLP-1 in the body. Some GLPs also works with a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide agonist (GIP).
This treatment works by regulating blood sugar levels after meals, stimulating insulin secretion, and slowing down the release of sugar into the bloodstream. By delaying stomach emptying, these medications help you feel fuller for longer, reducing overall calorie consumption. Clinical studies have shown that weekly injections can lead to an average weight loss of 9-13% over a year when combined with healthy lifestyle habits.
What to expect during treatment
These medications are administered via a simple injection just under the skin (subcutaneously), typically in the abdomen. Your practitioner will guide you on how to administer the injections and will adjust the dosage as needed. Most patients begin to see weight loss within the first month of injections. It’s important to have realistic expectations and to stay consistent with your treatment plan to achieve the best results.
Who is a good candidate for Weightloss injections?
GLPs are ideal for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater, or for adults with a BMI of 27 who also have at least one weight-related complication such as hypertension, insulin resistance (type 2 diabetes), high cholesterol, or heart disease. However, it’s not suitable for everyone. People with the following conditions should avoid GLPs:
Pregnant or breastfeeding women
Individuals with a history of pancreatitis
Those with Type-1 diabetes
People allergic to GLPs or any of their ingredients
Individuals with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2
Those with a history of thyroid cancer
Always consult a medical professional before starting GLPs for weight loss to ensure it’s the right fit for you.
