General Info
GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 are medications used in medical weight loss programs. They work by mimicking hormones that regulate appetite and insulin levels, helping to reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness.
These medications help in weight loss by:
- Reducing Appetite: They make you feel full sooner, leading to lower calorie intake.
- Regulating Blood Sugar: By improving insulin sensitivity, they help stabilize blood sugar levels.
- Slowing Gastric Emptying: They slow down how quickly food leaves your stomach, prolonging the feeling of fullness.
Benefits of these medications include:
- Effective Weight Loss: Clinical studies have shown significant weight reduction in users.
- Improved Metabolic Health: They help in better glucose control and insulin sensitivity.
- Convenience: These medications are usually administered as once-weekly injections.
While generally well-tolerated, some possible side effects include:
- Nausea and Vomiting: These are the most common side effects, especially when starting the treatment.
- Diarrhea or Constipation: Digestive issues may occur but usually subside over time.
- Injection Site Reactions: Mild irritation or discomfort at the injection site.
Eligibility typically includes:
- Adults with a BMI over 30: Or those with a BMI over 27 and at least one weight-related condition (e.g., hypertension, type 2 diabetes).
- Individuals committed to lifestyle changes: Including diet and exercise modifications.
- Those without certain medical conditions: Such as a history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2.
Results can vary, but most individuals start to see weight loss within the first few weeks. Significant weight reduction typically occurs over several months, with continued improvement as part of a long-term weight management plan.
