FAQs

What are GLP-1s, and how do they aid in weight loss?

GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) are medications originally developed for managing type 2 diabetes. They work by regulating appetite, slowing digestion, and improving insulin sensitivity, which can lead to reduced calorie intake and sustainable weight loss when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.

Who is a good candidate for GLP-1 weight loss treatments?

GLP-1 medications are suitable for individuals with a BMI of 27 or higher (with weight-related health issues) or a BMI of 30 or higher. A consultation with a healthcare provider is necessary to determine if this treatment is safe and appropriate for your weight loss goals.

How long does it take to see results with GLP-1 weight loss treatments?

Many clients begin to notice changes within the first few weeks, with significant weight loss typically occurring over 3 to 6 months. Results vary based on factors such as dosage, adherence to a healthy diet, exercise, and individual metabolic responses.

Are there side effects associated with GLP-1 medications?

Common side effects of GLP-1s include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or mild gastrointestinal discomfort, which often subside as your body adjusts. Your provider will discuss potential side effects and help manage them to ensure a safe and comfortable weight loss journey.
