FAQ

What does GLP-1 do to your body?
GLP-1 is a glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor agonist. They work by mimicking a gut hormone, incretin, that causes your pancreas to release insulin, reduces glucose production in the liver, and slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach. It also works in the areas of the brain that regulate appetite and fullness.

What are the benefits of GLP-1 weight loss?
GLP-1 has been shown to be effective in promoting weight loss in individuals with obesity. Studies have demonstrated that it can lead to significant reductions in body weight, body fat, and waist circumference. Additionally, GLP-1’s can improve several obesity-related health conditions, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

How much weight does the average person lose on GLP-1?
The amount of weight loss experienced by individuals on GLP-1 can vary. However, in clinical trials, participants using GLP-1 for weight management achieved an average weight loss of 16.7% of their initial body weight. It’s important to note that individual results may differ.

What are the side effects of GLP-1?
Nausea, vomiting, acid reflux and constipation are the most common GLP-1 side effects. They are often worse when starting treatment and after dose increases and usually improve after a few weeks. Dietary and lifestyle changes can help manage many of these side effects. Although rare, serious side effects have been reported with GLP-1, including pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, and kidney damage. Gastroparesis (stomach paralysis) and intestinal blockage have also been reported.

How long will I be on GLP-1 for?
The largest weight loss is seen over the first 6 months of GLP-1 use. That being said, studies have now shown that GLP-1’s can be used for two years with continued weight loss over this time.
