Can you help me understand Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP-1)
GLP-1 is a natural hormone your body produces in the gut after eating. It plays several important roles in metabolism:
Blood Sugar Regulation: GLP-1 stimulates insulin production when blood sugar rises while reducing glucagon secretion – this dual action helps lower blood glucose levels.
Appetite Effects: The hormone slows stomach emptying and acts on brain receptors that regulate hunger, helping you feel full longer.
Weight Impact: While researchers continue studying the mechanisms, GLP-1 appears to influence:
Food cravings and portion control
Fat metabolism
Possibly even energy expenditure
GLP-1 Medications (Agonists)
These prescription treatments mimic your natural GLP-1 but are enhanced to last longer in your system. They’re used for:
Type 2 diabetes management
Chronic weight management (in specific cases)
Current research suggests these medications help with weight loss primarily by reducing appetite and calorie intake, though other metabolic factors may contribute. Your healthcare provider can explain whether these might be appropriate for your individual health needs.
How to Access Prescription Weight-Loss Medications
To obtain prescription weight-loss medications, you’ll need to consult with a healthcare provider. During your visit, you can expect to:
Discuss your weight-loss goals and challenges
Review your personal medical history (including any existing conditions or medications)
Share relevant family medical history, particularly regarding weight-related health concerns
At Hello Health, we offer comprehensive weight-loss support, including access to GLP-1 medications when appropriate. Our providers work with you to determine if prescription treatment aligns with your health needs and goals, ensuring a safe and personalized approach to weight management.
