Discover weight management support with GLP-1 treatments in Loveland, OH, at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine. These treatments work by regulating hunger and supporting healthy blood sugar levels. Our team provides personalized care to help you achieve a more active, balanced lifestyle.
GLP-1s are part of a class of medications initially developed to support blood sugar regulation in people with Type 2 diabetes. By mimicking hormones that control appetite and blood sugar, GLP-1s signal the brain that you’re full, helping to reduce cravings and manage overeating.
One way GLP-1s support weight management is by slowing the rate at which your stomach empties, promoting a feeling of fullness for longer periods. This may help reduce overall calorie intake and support gradual weight management.
Your GLP-1 journey begins with a detailed consultation. During this meeting, we will review your medical history, discuss your weight management goals, and determine if GLP-1 is an appropriate choice for you. A personalized treatment plan will then be created based on your unique needs.
GLP-1s are administered via a once-weekly injection, typically in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Our team will guide you through the process, ensuring you feel comfortable managing the injections on your own.
The length of treatment varies based on individual goals. Many people remain on GLP-1 therapy for several months to a year, with regular progress assessments to optimize dosage and support your goals.
While GLP-1s are generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild side effects, such as nausea, constipation, or digestive discomfort. These symptoms often improve over time, and our team is here to help manage any side effects that arise.
