GLP-1 Agonists for Weight Loss: What You Need to Know
GLP-1 agonists are a type of medication that have been gaining popularity for weight loss. They work by mimicking the effects of a natural hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which helps regulate blood sugar and appetite.
Here's how GLP-1 agonists can help with weight loss:
Slow down digestion
Increase satiety (feeling full)
Reduce cravings
Possible benefits of GLP-1 agonists for weight loss:
Effective for weight loss and weight management
May improve blood sugar control
May reduce cardiovascular risk factors
Things to consider:
GLP-1 agonists are injectable medications.
They can cause side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation.
They are not a magic bullet for weight loss and should be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise program.
It's important to talk to a doctor at OnlyMed about whether GLP-1 agonists are right for you. They can help you understand the risks and benefits and determine if this medication is a good fit for your weight loss goals.
