GLP-1 receptor agonists were originally developed to help regulate blood sugar levels for individuals with Type 2 diabetes. GLP-1s mimic a hormone that signals the brain to reduce hunger and manage blood sugar levels. By promoting feelings of fullness, GLP-1s make it easier to manage food intake without feeling deprived, helping you maintain your wellness goals.
GLP-1s also slow the emptying of the stomach, allowing you to feel satisfied for longer, which can help reduce calorie intake. These mechanisms support a balanced and manageable approach to weight management by helping to control appetite and encourage mindful eating.
Your journey with GLP-1 therapy at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Stuart, FL, begins with an in-depth consultation. Our team will review your health history, discuss your weight management goals, and assess your suitability for GLP-1 therapy. Based on this assessment, we’ll design a personalized plan tailored to your needs, and we will monitor your progress regularly to make any needed adjustments.
Administering GLP-1 treatment is straightforward. The treatment is provided in a pre-filled pen for a once-weekly injection, which can be administered in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Our team will guide you through the process and offer support to ensure you feel comfortable and confident.
The duration of your GLP-1 therapy will depend on your personal goals and how your body responds to the treatment. Many individuals use GLP-1 therapy for several months or longer, with regular follow-up appointments to evaluate progress and adjust the plan as needed.
While GLP-1 therapy is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild side effects, particularly in the early stages of treatment. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and occasional vomiting. These effects usually subside as the body adjusts to the treatment.
