What Is GLP-1?

GLP-1 is the newest injection for weight loss. This medication is a class of drugs known as GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide 1) and made its debut at Valley Medical Weight Loss in 2022.

GLP-1 can be combined with L-Carnitine. It creates a symbiotic relationship of weight loss mechanisms that help you shed pounds consistently. With none of the negative feelings often associated with strict dieting and overexertion at the gym, dramatic weight loss can be achieved and maintained.

GLP-1 Appetite Suppressant

GLP-1 is given through a subcutaneous injection. By mimicking the effect of insulin to lower your blood sugar levels it. Moreover, it controls specific areas of your brain that regulate appetite and food intake. As a result, your appetite is suppressed, your food cravings are reduced, and you can better control your eating patterns.

Chronic Weight Management

Since 2017 researchers have been actively discovering its benefits for chronic weight management. After a series of clinical trials and case studies, the results were extremely positive.

GLP-1 is beneficial for those individuals suffering from weight-related health issues in managing weight in overweight and obese individuals.

Do GLP-1 Weight-Loss Injections Live Up to The Hype?

Yes! GLP-1 is a game-changer for best weight loss results. We are seeing individuals lose up to 15%-20% of their body weight. This is nearing the levels obtained by bariatric surgery.

Overview of GLP-1

Diabetes patients who need better glycemic control are generally prescribed GLP-1e, but now it’s available for people without diabetes seeking treatment for weight loss. GLP-1 injections are a cutting-edge medication for weight loss that mimics a natural hormone in your body that reduces your appetite and cravings.

Our Treatment Philosophy

Weight management is similar to a chronic condition like high blood pressure, and should be treated as such, with medication accompanied by lifestyle changes. In treating our patients, we do so from a medical perspective, rather than from a judgmental willpower or character flaw perspective. As a result, we have a very high success rate.

Scientists believe GLP-1 is twice as effective as other available treatments for obesity.

GLP-1 Injections: A Weight Loss Breakthrough

New treatments for obesity are always met with skepticism, and for good reason. Marketers bombard the web with promises of miracle cures for obesity that rarely work. Once in a while, a drug enters the market that changes the landscape of obesity treatment. GLP-1 is one such drug.

More About GLP-1

GLP-1 a protein made in the intestines that results in a decrease in blood sugars and appetite. Due to a small change in the molecule, the drug lasts for weeks instead of minutes in our bodies. The results are remarkable.

How does GLP-1 work?

Emptying of the Stomach Is Delayed

Consequently, a smaller meal size leads to a feeling of fullness and satisfaction.

Diabetes Weight Loss Medications

GLP-1 injections offer some of the best results for weight loss among treatments for diabetes. Like Sulfonylureas and insulin, some diabetes medications cause weight gain.

GLP-1 Prescription

Valley Medical’s physicians can provide individuals who are candidates with a prescription for GLP-1 for weight loss. Our patients can start their programs on the same day if desired. People who need GLP-1 prescriptions should connect with us at any of our three locations.

Possible Side Effects of GLP-1

A qualified medical provider should be consulted before using GLP-1 prescription medication. GLP-1 side effects include nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, excessive feelings of fullness that go beyond the desired results, feeling dizzy or light-headed, a persistent lethargic feeling, and irritation at the injection site. This being said, the medication is usually well tolerated.

GLP-1 injections and alcohol should usually not be taken together. Prescription medications containing GLP-1 should not be used by people allergic to it. Tell your doctor if you experience any negative side effects. Your doctor will be able to adjust your dosage to ensure that your compounded GLP-1 treatment is working as efficiently, effectively, and safely as possible. As long as you report side effects to your doctor, he or she will likely lower your dose to the previous level until your body adjusts fully to the medication.

Losing Weight With GLP-1, Long-Acting Prescription Medicine

It is a GLP-1 (glucagon-like-peptide-1) receptor agonist. It has become a life-changing option for overweight or obese people who are committed to losing weight and do not have any serious health problems. GLP-1is not a magic cure or gimmicky fat-burning supplement. It is a long-acting prescription medicine that is used over an extended period of time, usually several months or more. Though GLP-1 is not recommended for a short term fix, the weekly injections are available for people who may only need to lose 10 pounds, or a large amount of weight, as long as they are a good candidate medically and they have a body mass index (BMI) above 20.

Are GLP-1 Injections Effective For Weight Loss?

The scientific evidence backing GLP-1’s effectiveness as a weight-loss drug is impressive. During a randomized, double-blind study conducted in the mid-2010s, GLP-1 use resulted in significant weight loss. Weight loss was not only compared with a placebo group, but also to another substance in the GLP-1 receptor agonist class called Liraglutide.

GLP-1 injections “appear superior” to a variety of other GLP-1 receptor agonists for weight loss stimulation in type 2 diabetes patients, according to a study published in 2019. The same study found that GLP-1 trials as a weight-loss drug exceeded the criterion set forth by both the FDA and EMA (European Medicines Agency) for obesity medications.

Effective Weight Loss Drug

Patients who have relied on stimulant-based diet pills in the past may find the idea of the stomach processing food more slowly counterintuitive. The slow and consistent digestion is, however, only one part of the chain reaction that makes GLP-1 such an effective weight loss drug.

Powerful Appetite Suppression

As your stomach takes longer to empty itself of food, it sends signals to your brain that you are full. The signal is sent throughout the day, even if you eat less than usual. This process leads to a powerful appetite suppression effect based on the patient’s own natural insulin production.

Medically Assisted Weight Loss

Patients can benefit from medically assisted weight loss without having to undergo invasive surgery or take harsh stimulants. You will also have healthier blood sugar levels with a GLP-1 regimen, which will make you feel more energetic.

Controlling Your Blood Sugar Levels

You can also improve your overall health by stabilizing and controlling your blood sugar levels. The overall feeling of well-being can contribute to weight loss even if you are not at risk for diabetes.
