Support Long-Term Weight Management with GLP-1s

Start your journey toward a healthier lifestyle with GLP-1 treatments, now available at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Portland, TX. These treatments support weight management by helping control appetite and blood sugar levels, making it easier to manage weight long-term. With personalized care from our expert team, you’ll receive support to help you reach and sustain your wellness goals.

Challenges of weight management

Achieving weight management requires a consistent calorie deficit, meaning consuming fewer calories than your body expends. However, reducing calorie intake often triggers natural biological responses like slower metabolism and increased hunger, making progress more challenging. GLP-1 treatments are designed to help manage hunger, supporting sustainable weight management.

How GLP-1s support weight management

GLP-1 receptor agonists, initially developed to assist blood sugar management in Type 2 diabetes patients, mimic natural hormones that regulate appetite. 

GLP-1s can help individuals feel full sooner and remain satisfied for longer, which may aid in eating less without feeling deprived. Additionally, GLP-1s can slow stomach emptying, supporting more consistent calorie control, an essential component of weight management.

Key features of GLP-1 treatments:

  • May reduce appetite by mimicking natural hunger-regulating hormones
  • Potentially slows stomach emptying, promoting longer-lasting fullness
  • Supports blood sugar regulation for individuals with Type 2 diabetes
  • Can aid in long-term weight management
  • Once-weekly, easy-to-administer injection
