Achieve your weight management goals with GLP-1 treatments in New Braunfels - now available at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine. This innovative approach to weight management supports healthier living by helping to regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. Our personalized care approach provides the support needed to assist you in maintaining a balanced, healthier lifestyle.
GLP-1s, or GLP-1 receptor agonists, were initially developed to help manage Type 2 diabetes. These treatments work by mimicking a hormone that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. For those seeking weight management, GLP-1s can signal to the brain that you feel full, which may help reduce food intake and support healthier eating habits.
One feature of GLP-1s is that they can slow stomach emptying, which prolongs the feeling of fullness and may lead to a reduction in overall calorie intake. By helping manage hunger and cravings, GLP-1s support individuals in adhering to a calorie-conscious diet for gradual, sustainable weight management.
Your journey with GLP-1 treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation at our New Braunfels location. Our team will assess your medical history and goals for weight management to create a plan tailored to your needs. Throughout treatment, we will monitor your progress and adjust the dosage as needed to help you achieve optimal results.
GLP-1 treatments are administered through a once-weekly injection. Our team will guide you on the use of a pre-filled pen, making it easy to self-administer at home. Injections can be given in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
The length of your treatment depends on your goals and individual response to the medication. Many individuals continue GLP-1 treatment for several months to a year, with regular follow-up visits to evaluate progress and make necessary adjustments.
As with any medication, GLP-1s may have side effects, especially during the initial stages. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and mild abdominal discomfort, which typically subside as the body adjusts to the treatment.
