How GLP-1s support weight management
GLP-1 receptor agonists were originally developed to support blood sugar regulation, particularly for individuals with Type 2 diabetes. They work by mimicking hormones that play a role in hunger and metabolism, signaling the brain to promote feelings of fullness, reducing cravings, and supporting balanced eating habits.
GLP-1s also slow the rate at which food leaves the stomach, helping you feel satisfied for longer periods. This can help in reducing overall calorie intake over time, contributing to steady and sustainable weight management.
Key benefits of GLP-1 Treatments:
- Supports weight management by regulating appetite
- Mimics natural hunger-regulating hormones to promote fullness
- Helps regulate blood sugar, especially for individuals with Type 2 diabetes
- Contributes to sustainable weight management
- Administered via a simple, once-weekly injection
What to expect during GLP-1 treatment
Initial consultation and personalized care plan
Your journey with GLP-1s in Alpharetta begins with a comprehensive consultation. During this initial meeting, we’ll review your medical history, discuss your goals, and assess whether GLP-1 treatment is suitable for you. Our team will create a tailored plan designed to support your specific health needs.
How to administer your weekly injections
GLP-1 treatments are typically administered via a once-weekly injection in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Our team will guide you through the process, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident managing the treatment independently.
Treatment duration
The length of your GLP-1 treatment will depend on your individual goals and how your body responds. Many individuals undergo treatment for several months, with regular check-ins to monitor progress and adjust dosage as needed.
Potential side effects
While generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience mild side effects early in treatment, such as nausea or digestive discomfort. These side effects often lessen as the body adjusts.
