Achieve Sustainable Weight Loss with GLP-1

GLP-1 treatments, originally developed for type 2 diabetes management, have become valuable tools in supporting weight loss by influencing appetite and satiety. These treatments, which include GLP-1 receptor agonist therapies, aid in weight management by helping individuals feel fuller and reducing calorie intake. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we add GLP-1 weight loss medication in Frisco to our weight management programs to help support your health goals.

How do GLP-1s work?

GLP-1 receptor agonists function by mimicking the naturally occurring glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) hormone, which is produced in the intestines. This hormone plays an essential role in managing appetite and food intake. When administered, GLP-1 activates specific brain receptors to:

  • Support appetite control by influencing hunger-related areas of the brain.
  • Enhance satiety through a slower gastric emptying process, contributing to a feeling of fullness.
  • Assist in glucose metabolism by increasing insulin secretion in response to meals.
  • Support overall energy expenditure.

The benefits of GLP-1 treatments may include:

  • Increased satiety, helping to reduce hunger and promote a sense of fullness.
  • Convenience of once-weekly dosing.
  • Potential for improvements in cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
  • Support for quality of life.

If other weight management methods have not proven effective for you, GLP-1 treatments at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Frisco could be part of a comprehensive approach tailored to your health.

What to expect with GLP-1 treatment

GLP-1 is typically administered as a weekly subcutaneous injection. Here’s what you can expect with this treatment:

  1. Initial assessment of your health and weight management goals.

  2. Training on the self-administration of GLP-1 injections, which are done once a week.

  3. Follow-up appointments to monitor progress and make adjustments to your treatment plan.

While individuals may start to observe changes within a few months, the rate and extent of weight management vary depending on factors like age, diet, exercise habits, overall health, and starting weight. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity, supports the effectiveness of GLP-1 in a weight management plan.
