What Are GLP‑1 Medications?
GLP‑1 medications work by mimicking a natural hormone that helps regulate appetite, blood sugar, and digestion. They slow gastric emptying, reduce hunger signals, and improve insulin response.
Who Are They For?
GLP‑1s are commonly prescribed for individuals struggling with obesity, insulin resistance, or type 2 diabetes. They are also increasingly used for medically supervised weight loss programs.
