GLP-1 WEIGHT LOSS , ORANGE COUNTY

While most proponents of weight loss advocate for “diet and exercise” for weight loss, it is often easier said than done. “Diet and exercise” are vague recommendations that simply don’t assist with the lifestyle modifications necessary to lose weight and keep it off.

Additionally, metabolic issues that contribute to cravings and or increased hunger may prevent you from implementing the lasting changes that you want, even while following a weight loss plan.

Does this resonate with you?? This is where GLP-1 for weight loss can help especially if you are prone to sugar cravings or hunger that contributes to increased snacking that is derailing your weight loss efforts. You may be a good candidate for medication assisted weight loss with Tirzepatide injections or Semaglutide injections in Orange County, CA.

What Is GLP-1?

GLP-1 agonists are a class of medications that mimic the GLP-1 hormone your body releases in your gut in response to eating. This initiates a hormonal cascade that tells your body to delay gastric emptying which makes you feel much fuller for longer. When food enters the lumen, or the space inside your small intestine, it triggers a signal to your brain, which then sends a signal to the pancreas to release insulin and inhibit glucagon.

This medication, focused on glp-1 receptors, thus tricks your brain into thinking you feel full, which thereby promotes early satiety and reduces your appetite contributing to a caloric deficit and weight loss.

GLP-1 stands for glucagon-like peptide-1 which is a hormone that not only regulates appetite but it plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels. In recent years, medications with the active ingredient Tirzepatide marketed under the brand name “mounjaro” and “zepbound” – GLP-1 agonists – have been fda approved for chronic weight management when prescribed in adjunct to diet and exercise.

Functions of GLP-1:

• Stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas, lowering blood sugar
• Slows down the emptying of the stomach, reducing appetite
• Inhibits the production of glucagon, another hormone that raises blood sugar

Therapeutic Uses:

GLP-1 agonists are synthetic drugs that mimic the action of GLP-1. While they are primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes by improving blood sugar control, they are also beneficial for weight management and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events.

The Benefits of GLP-1 for Weight Loss
