Supporting Appetite Regulation and Blood Sugar Management

GLP-1s are medications designed to aid in weight management and support blood sugar regulation, especially for individuals with obesity or type 2 diabetes. As GLP-1 receptor agonists, they mimic the actions of hormones involved in appetite regulation, helping people feel fuller for longer. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, GLP-1 treatments are offered within a personalized weight management program, incorporating diet and lifestyle changes to support a balanced and sustainable weight loss journey.

What Are GLP-1s?

GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) mimic natural hormones that respond to food intake by impacting brain areas that regulate appetite and satiety. By binding to GLP-1 receptors, these medications slow gastric emptying, resulting in longer-lasting feelings of fullness and potentially reduced calorie intake.

In addition to appetite regulation, GLP-1s support insulin sensitivity and blood sugar stability, important factors for those managing type 2 diabetes. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, GLP-1 treatments are combined with a customized support program to enhance these benefits within a broader weight management plan.

How Do GLP-1s Work?

GLP-1s work by emulating a natural hormone that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. These medications target specific brain receptors to support satiety and regulate the rate at which food moves through the digestive system, contributing to more balanced calorie intake. For individuals managing weight, GLP-1s are part of a medically supervised plan, assisting in sustainable weight loss when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.

GLP-1 Injection Overview

During your initial consultation, our team will evaluate your medical history and discuss your weight management goals to see if GLP-1 treatment is appropriate for you. We provide clear instructions on self-administering GLP-1 as a once-weekly injection, typically into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, with guidance on technique and dosage adjustments to support effective results and comfort.

  • Have a BMI of 30 or higher
  • Have a BMI of 27 or higher and weight-related health concerns
