A GLP-1 agonist is a type of medication used for medical weight loss. GLP-1 stands for Glucagon-Like Peptide-1, which is a natural hormone in your body that helps control blood sugar levels and feelings of fullness after eating.
When you take a GLP-1 agonist medication, it mimics the effects of this hormone, helping to regulate your appetite and blood sugar levels. This can lead to reduced food intake and increased feelings of fullness, which can help with weight loss.
GLP-1 agonists are often prescribed for people with type 2 diabetes because they can also help improve blood sugar control. However, they can also be used for weight loss in people without diabetes who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone.
Overall, GLP-1 agonists can be an effective option for medical weight loss by helping to control appetite and promote feelings of fullness, leading to reduced food intake and potential weight loss.
