Achieve Your Weight Goals with GLP-1 Weight Loss Support
GLP-1 receptor agonists, originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes, have proven effective in supporting weight management. These injectable medications mimic the action of the GLP-1 hormone, which plays a role in regulating appetite and food intake. Genesis Lifestyle Medicine prescribes GLP-1s in Aurora, CO, offering an option for those looking to manage weight as part of a healthy lifestyle.
Cravings: why many weight loss plans challenge us
Sustained weight loss requires a calorie deficit, yet maintaining this balance can be challenging. The body’s natural response to prolonged calorie restriction often involves heightened cravings for high-calorie foods. GLP-1 treatments can help support a healthy diet by aiding in the management of hunger and reducing the intensity of these cravings.
What are GLP-1s?
GLP-1s, initially used for type 2 diabetes management, were found to also impact appetite regulation. This class of medications works by mimicking a hormone in the body that influences hunger and food intake. As a result, GLP-1 treatments can help reduce feelings of hunger, promote satiety, and decrease overall calorie intake.
GLP-1s are sometimes incorporated into weight management plans to support patients with appetite control, increased satiety, and sustained weight management.
GLP-1 treatments can support with…
- Managing appetite
- Supporting a balanced calorie intake
- Promoting feelings of fullness
- Assisting with weight maintenance
- Managing certain health conditions related to obesity
- Supporting metabolic health
How do GLP-1s work in weight management?
Genesis Lifestyle Medicine offers GLP-1 treatments in Aurora to support weight management through their targeted mechanism as GLP-1 receptor agonists. These medications activate GLP-1 receptors in the brain, influencing pathways that help regulate hunger and satiety, which may help manage calorie intake. By slowing the rate at which food leaves the stomach, GLP-1s also support satiety.
GLP-1 treatments are also known to support metabolic health by aiding insulin sensitivity, which can be beneficial for patients with type 2 diabetes. These benefits contribute to a multifaceted approach to weight management, though it’s essential to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if GLP-1 treatment is right for you.
