GLP-1 Peptide Therapy
Common questions about our most popular weight loss treatment, including how it works, expected results, and who it's right for.
What is GLP-1 Peptide Therapy?
GLP-1 peptide therapy uses glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist medications that mimic the naturally occurring GLP-1 hormone found in the human gut to regulate appetite, improve insulin control, and support weight loss. Backed by clinical trials, GLP-1 medical weight loss treatment promotes satiety, slows gastric emptying allowing you to feel fuller longer, and reduces caloric intake. Trials have also proven these medications enhance glycemic control and improve metabolic function.
Who should consider using a GLP-1?
GLP-1 therapy may be appropriate for individuals who have not achieved sufficient weight loss through lifestyle changes alone, those with insulin resistance or metabolic concerns, individuals with type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes, overweight individuals with weight-related health conditions such as hypertension, sleep apnea, or cardiovascular disease, or anyone looking to manage food cravings and appetite.
What's the difference between Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that has been extensively studied and FDA-approved for weight management. Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist that provides enhanced metabolic benefits through dual-action hormone support. Both are effective for weight management, and your healthcare provider will recommend the best option based on your goals and medical history.
How much weight will I lose when prescribed a GLP-1?
Each client's program is specifically individualized, so results may vary. Your health coach will create a program plan that allows you to reach your ideal weight as safely and effectively as possible. Results depend on adherence to the program, nutrition, and lifestyle factors.
What are the side effects of GLP-1 therapy?
Common side effects may include nausea, digestive changes, reduced appetite, and occasional headaches, particularly when starting treatment or adjusting dosage. Most side effects are mild and decrease over time as your body adjusts. Your healthcare provider will monitor your progress and adjust your protocol as needed to minimize any discomfort.
Does GLP-1 treatment reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications?
The American Heart Association has stated that self-administered GLP-1 medications decreased the risk of heart attack, stroke, and death from cardiovascular complications by 20% in those suffering from obesity and heart disease who did not have diabetes.
