GLP-1 Medications for Weight Loss: A Complete Guide
Lawna Wigle, FNP-BC
Practitioner & Educator
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists have revolutionized the field of medical weight loss. These medications mimic a natural hormone that targets areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake.
How they work:
- **Appetite Regulation:** They help you feel fuller for longer.
- **Insulin Sensitivity:** They improve how your body handles blood sugar.
- **Slower Gastric Emptying:** They slow down the rate at which food leaves your stomach.
At DWMRX, we integrate GLP-1 therapy into a comprehensive program that includes nutrition support and coaching to ensure you achieve and maintain your weight goals safely.
