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.
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.
Your journey with GLP-1 treatments at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Portland, TX, begins with a comprehensive consultation. Our team assesses your health history and weight management goals to develop a personalized plan tailored to your needs, monitoring your progress and adjusting your plan as necessary.
GLP-1 is administered through a once-weekly injection, which you can perform at home using a pre-filled pen. Our team will guide you through this process to ensure you feel comfortable and confident with self-administration.
Most patients use GLP-1 treatments for several months to a year, depending on individual goals and responses. Regular follow-ups help monitor progress and make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.
GLP-1 treatments are generally well-tolerated, though some patients may experience mild side effects, such as nausea or digestive discomfort, especially at the start of treatment. These effects typically diminish as the body adjusts. Our team works with you to manage any side effects and ensure a comfortable experience.
