GLPs are a prescription medication specifically compounded to assist with weight management. When combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, GLPs can help adults achieve significant weight loss. It belongs to a class of medications called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, which mimic the natural hormone GLP-1 in the body.

This treatment works by regulating blood sugar levels after meals, stimulating insulin secretion, and slowing down the release of sugar into the bloodstream. By delaying stomach emptying, GLP therapy helps you feel fuller for longer, reducing overall calorie consumption. Clinical studies have shown that weekly GLP injections can lead to an average weight loss of 9-13% over a year when combined with healthy lifestyle habits.

HOW IT WORKS

WHAT TO EXPECT

GLP therapy is administered via a simple injection just under the skin (subcutaneously), typically in the abdomen. Your practitioner will guide you on how to administer the injections and tailor the dosage as needed. Most patients begin to see weight loss within 8-10 weeks. It’s important to have realistic expectations and to stay consistent with your treatment plan to achieve the best results.

WHO IS IT FOR

GLP therapy is ideal for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater or for adults with a BMI of 27 who also have at least one weight-related complication such as hypertension, insulin resistance, high cholesterol, or heart disease. However, it’s not suitable for everyone. People with the following conditions should avoid GLP therapy:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women

  • Individuals with a history of pancreatitis

  • Those with Type-1 diabetes

  • People allergic to Semaglutide or any of its ingredients

  • Individuals with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2

  • Those with a history of thyroid cancer

Always consult a medical professional before starting GLP therapy to ensure it’s the right fit for you.
