GLP-1 Injections

What is GLP-1?

GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) receptor agonists, like Semaglutide, are scientifically proven medications designed to support effective and sustainable weight loss. This peptide-based treatment mimics the natural GLP-1 hormone released by your intestines in response to food, helping to:

✔ Regulate Appetite – Increases feelings of fullness, reducing overeating.
✔ Slow Digestion – Delays stomach emptying, leading to lower calorie intake.
✔ Support Metabolism – Aids in better glucose control and fat burning.

Unlike traditional weight loss solutions, GLP-1 treatments work with your body’s natural processes to help you lose weight safely and effectively.

How much weight can you lose with GLP-1 injection?

Weight loss is a personal journey, and results will vary based on factors like starting weight, medical history, lifestyle habits, and consistency with treatment. While GLP-1 medications are designed to support weight management, their effectiveness is maximized when paired with healthy lifestyle choices.

Some individuals experience steady, noticeable progress, while others may see gradual changes over time. The key is a personalized approach that prioritizes long-term success and overall well-being rather than rapid results.

Who is eligible to use medical weightloss?

Medical weight loss with GLP-1 medications is designed for individuals who may benefit from clinically supervised weight management. Eligibility is typically based on the following factors:

✔ Body Mass Index (BMI) – Generally, candidates have a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related health concerns, or 30 and above without additional conditions.
✔ Weight-Related Health Conditions – Individuals with hypertension, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, or other metabolic concerns may qualify.
✔ Commitment to Lifestyle Changes – While GLP-1 medications help regulate appetite and metabolism, their effectiveness is maximized with healthy habits.
✔ Medical Evaluation – A thorough consultation with our partnered Nurse Practitioner will determine if this treatment is right for you based on your overall health, medical history, and goals.

Not everyone is a candidate, and safety is our priority. Our Nurse Practitioner Monica Johnson at Caring Hand Primary will assess your individual needs to create a personalized weight loss plan tailored to your health and wellness need and goals.
