How do GLP-1s promote weight loss?

GLP-1 peptides promote weight loss through several mechanisms. Primarily, they mimic the hormone GLP-1, which plays a critical role in regulating appetite. They act to increase feelings of fullness, reduce overall food intake and suppress appetite. This helps individuals control their cravings and make healthier eating choices.

Additionally, GLP-1s slow gastric emptying, meaning that food stays in the stomach longer. This prolongs the sensation of fullness after meals, further decreasing the urge to eat frequently. The combination of appetite suppression, reduced cravings, and delayed gastric emptying creates a powerful effect that supports sustained weight loss.

Am I a suitable candidate for weight loss with GLP-1s?

You may be a suitable candidate for weight loss with a GLP-1 if you have a BMI of 30 or higher or a BMI of 27 with weight-related conditions like hypertension or type 2 diabetes. It’s also ideal for those who have struggled to achieve sustainable results with other methods and for individuals wanting to maintain their desired weight and prevent weight regain. A consultation at RESTOR Medical Spa will help determine what type of medical weight loss fits your health goals and needs.
