Maintain a Healthier Lifestyle with GLP-1 Weight Loss Support

Genesis Lifestyle Medicine offers GLP-1 treatments in Kernersville, which may support individuals in their weight management journey by influencing appetite and blood sugar regulation. Our tailored approach ensures you receive the guidance and support needed to pursue your health goals and maintain a healthier lifestyle.

Why is losing weight so challenging?

Sustaining weight loss often requires maintaining a calorie deficit, meaning you need to consistently burn more calories than you consume. However, the body can resist long-term calorie restriction by increasing hunger and slowing down metabolism. These natural responses aim to maintain energy balance but may lead to regaining lost weight. GLP-1 treatments address some of these challenges by impacting hunger regulation and supporting metabolic health.

How do GLP-1s support weight management?

GLP-1 receptor agonists, commonly known as GLP-1s, were initially developed to help manage blood sugar in people with Type 2 diabetes. These medications work by mimicking a hormone in the body that regulates appetite and blood glucose. GLP-1s signal to the brain that you are full, helping to reduce hunger, making it easier to eat less, and supporting calorie control in a manageable way.

GLP-1s may aid weight management by slowing stomach emptying, prolonging fullness, and helping to reduce overall calorie intake. This support, along with healthy dietary and activity habits, can help individuals manage their weight effectively.

Key considerations of GLP-1 treatments:

Helps reduce appetite through natural hunger-regulating hormone activity.
May aid in sustained satiety by slowing stomach emptying.
Supports blood sugar management in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
Can assist in managing weight over time by helping control calorie intake.
Administered through a once-weekly injection.

What to expect with your GLP-1 weight loss treatment

Initial consultation and starting your plan
Your weight management journey with GLP-1 treatment at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Kernersville begins with an in-depth consultation. During this session, we’ll evaluate your medical history, current health status, and goals. If GLP-1 treatment is suitable for you, our team will recommend an appropriate dose based on your unique needs. As your treatment progresses, we will monitor your experience and adjust dosage as necessary to help support your health goals.

How to administer GLP-1 injections
Administering GLP-1 is a straightforward process. The medication is provided in a pre-filled pen, which is self-administered once a week, typically in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Our team will guide you through the injection process to ensure you feel comfortable and confident.

Treatment duration
The duration of GLP-1 treatment depends on your specific weight management needs and your body’s response to the medication. Many patients continue treatment for several months, with regular check-ins to assess progress and adjust dosage as necessary.

Potential side effects
While GLP-1 treatments are generally well-tolerated, some side effects may occur, especially when starting. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal discomfort, and vomiting. These symptoms typically subside as the body adjusts to the treatment.
