The science behind it

FACT 01

Regulates appetite

These medications act like the body’s hormone(s) to help control appetite and how the body processes food.

FACT 02

Delivers full-body benefits

After meals, hormones like GLP-1 are released throughout the body to affect receptors in the brain, stomach, pancreas, heart, and more.

The Gila monster inspired GLP-1s as its venom contains hormones that impact appetite and metabolism, which helps to regulate blood sugar.

What to expect with GLP-1 injections§

GLP-1 injections can cause side effects, so it’s recommended to start with a low dose and gradually increase it over time to reach the target dose. Your provider and care team will support each step of your treatment journey. Your care team will check in regularly to see how you’re feeling and help you track your results. When appropriate, your provider will adjust your dosage and treatment plan to ensure your progress. If needed, your provider will help you address side effects with personalized guidance and treatment options.

Common questions§

  • What is a GLP-1? GLP-1 medications mimic the action of the GLP-1 hormone that is naturally released by the body and can help to reduce appetite, decrease overeating, and lose weight.
  • How long do I need to take a GLP-1 before I see weight loss? It’s possible to see weight loss in the first month of treatment. However, because everyone responds differently to medications, it may take some time to find the dose that works best for you. Most people lose weight with continued treatment after a few months. We recommend aiming for 1-2 pound weight loss per week, but your healthcare provider can provide personalized guidance based on your individual response.
  • What else does GLP-1 do?
    • Helps control blood sugar by enhancing insulin secretion
    • Protects the heart, improves heart function, reduces blood pressure, and lowers risk for heart disease
    • Improves brain health, possibly by reducing inflammation and protecting nerve cells
    • Supports liver health including metabolic-associated fatty liver disease
    • Reduces inflammation
    • Helps with cholesterol (especially bad cholesterol)
