Genesis Lifestyle Medicine offers GLP-1 treatments, a class of FDA-approved medications that support weight management by assisting with appetite regulation and enhancing feelings of fullness. Our team provides a personalized approach to help you incorporate GLP-1 treatments as part of a healthy lifestyle that includes diet and exercise.
Why is weight loss so challenging?
Sustained weight loss often requires creating and maintaining a calorie deficit, which can be challenging due to the body’s natural response mechanisms. When calorie intake is reduced, the body may increase hunger signals and slow metabolism, making adherence to a reduced-calorie diet difficult. This can lead to frustration and make maintaining weight loss over time challenging.
What are GLP-1s?
GLP-1 receptor agonists are medications that mimic the effects of the naturally occurring GLP-1 hormone, which plays a role in appetite regulation, food intake, and blood sugar control. These treatments may assist with weight management by promoting a feeling of fullness and reducing appetite.
Possible benefits of GLP-1 treatments:
- Helps to manage appetite and reduce cravings
- Enhances feelings of fullness after meals
- Delays gastric emptying, promoting satiety
- Supports a comprehensive weight management plan under medical supervision
- Requires only once-weekly administration for ease of use
