GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) therapy is an innovative treatment that works with your body’s natural hormones to improve blood sugar control, reduce appetite, and support healthy weight loss. These medications help slow digestion, making you feel fuller for longer while decreasing cravings and overall food intake.
Originally developed for type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 medications have also been proven effective for individuals struggling with obesity and weight-related health issues. Beyond weight management, they can improve metabolic health, reduce inflammation, and lower the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Patients often see gradual, sustainable weight loss when GLP-1 therapy is combined with healthy eating and lifestyle adjustments. It’s a non-surgical option that offers many of the same benefits as more invasive weight-loss procedures, but with fewer risks and less downtime.
