Medication-Driven Weight Loss - Saskatoon
Supervised Weight Loss With GLP-1
What is Medication-Driven Weight Loss?
Medication-driven weight loss refers to the use of prescribed medications to assist individuals in achieving and maintaining a healthier weight. One of the most promising classes of these medications is GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) agonists. These medications are designed to complement lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, by targeting the physiological processes that regulate appetite and metabolism.
How Does A GLP-1 Weight Loss Medication Work?
GLP-1 medications work by mimicking the effects of the naturally occurring hormone GLP-1, which is released in response to food intake. They help regulate appetite, reduce hunger, and promote a feeling of fullness. Here’s how they generally function:- Appetite Regulation: GLP-1 agonists signal the brain to reduce hunger, making it easier to eat less without feeling deprived.
- Gastric Emptying: These medications slow down the rate at which food leaves the stomach, prolonging satiety after meals.
- Blood Sugar Control: By enhancing insulin secretion and inhibiting glucagon release, GLP-1 medications help stabilize blood sugar levels, which can be particularly beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes.
