Explore GLP-1 weight loss treatments in Cumming at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine. GLP-1s are designed to support your weight management goals by assisting in appetite control and aiding in the maintenance of healthy blood sugar levels. Our comprehensive approach emphasizes balanced lifestyle changes, providing guidance and support for sustainable weight management.
Achieving weight loss requires maintaining a consistent calorie deficit, which can be difficult due to the body’s natural mechanisms that counteract prolonged calorie restriction. The body often responds by increasing hunger and slowing metabolism, making it challenging to sustain weight loss efforts over time. GLP-1 treatments can help manage these responses to support long-term weight management.
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists are medications developed to assist with blood sugar regulation, especially in those with Type 2 diabetes. GLP-1s work by imitating a hormone in the body that signals fullness to the brain, helping reduce hunger and supporting a lower calorie intake. By slowing down the emptying of the stomach, GLP-1s help you feel full for longer periods, aiding in sustainable weight management.
Your weight management journey with GLP-1 at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine begins with an in-depth consultation. We will review your medical history, assess your current health, and discuss your goals. Should GLP-1 treatment be suitable, we’ll develop a personalized plan with the right dosage to match your needs. Regular follow-ups will allow us to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments.
GLP-1 treatments are administered using a pre-filled pen for subcutaneous injection, typically once per week in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. During your initial visit, we’ll provide clear instructions and a demonstration to ensure you feel comfortable administering the injections yourself.
The length of your treatment with GLP-1 depends on your weight management objectives and how you respond to the therapy. Typically, treatments may span several months, with regular monitoring and dosage adjustments to help you stay on track toward your goals.
Like all medications, GLP-1 treatments may have side effects. Common side effects can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal discomfort, especially at the beginning of treatment. These effects often decrease as your body adjusts.
