GLP-1 receptor agonists, a class of medications initially developed to support blood sugar regulation, are now widely recognized for their role in supporting weight management. GLP-1s work by influencing hunger signals and metabolic processes, which can make it easier to follow a healthy lifestyle. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, our team provides guidance and support for individuals interested in weight management through GLP-1 treatments as part of a comprehensive care approach.
Weight management requires maintaining a balanced calorie intake, often involving calorie restriction and increased physical activity. When calories are restricted, the body can adapt by increasing hunger and lowering metabolism, which can make sustained weight management challenging. GLP-1s can help manage appetite to support your efforts in creating a balanced, healthy lifestyle.
GLP-1 receptor agonists are medications that mimic natural hormones involved in regulating blood sugar and appetite. By supporting these natural processes, GLP-1s can aid individuals in maintaining a balanced calorie intake by helping them feel full and satisfied. This approach allows individuals to work toward their weight management goals while following their health provider’s recommendations for diet and lifestyle.
At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Corpus Christi, TX, we begin with a comprehensive consultation to understand your health history and goals. Together, we create a personalized plan that considers your unique needs and desired outcomes.
GLP-1s are administered through a once-weekly injection. Our team will guide you on how to administer the injection, allowing you to integrate the treatment into your lifestyle comfortably.
GLP-1 treatments may continue for several months, depending on your goals and progress. We’ll monitor your response and adjust as needed to optimize your experience and support your journey.
As with any treatment, some individuals may experience mild side effects, such as nausea or abdominal discomfort, particularly when starting GLP-1s. Our team is available to support you in managing any symptoms and making adjustments to promote comfort.
