GLP-1

What Is GLP-1 Therapy?

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) agonists are a class of medications that mimic a naturally occurring hormone in your body. This hormone plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels, slowing digestion, and signaling feelings of fullness to your brain. When used as part of a comprehensive weight loss program, GLP-1 medications help reduce caloric intake by decreasing appetite and prolonging satiety after meals.
