By mimicking a hormone in the body, GLP-1’s increase insulin secretion while slowing down how fast your stomach empties food. This suppresses your appetite, so you feel full longer, helping you eat less and lose weight.
GLP-1 is a physiological regulator of appetite and caloric intake, and the GLP-1 receptor is present in several areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation. The human body naturally produces the GLP-1 hormone when there is food in the stomach, reducing appetite while lowering blood sugars at the same time.
Reduced body weight, lipids, blood pressure, inflammatory markers, and oxidative stress

Individuals struggling with obesity, especially those with an elevated risk of diabetes or heart disease, are ideal candidates. The program is also a fit for people seeking a scientifically-backed method to sustainably manage their weight and improve overall health.
The time frame for noticeable results can vary between individuals, as it depends on various factors such as baseline weight, adherence to the program, and individual metabolic differences. However, many participants start to see significant results within the first few months of the program.
Like all medications, those used in the GLP-1 Program may have side effects. Common side effects can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. However, these side effects are generally mild and often improve over time. Your healthcare provider will closely monitor your health and adjust the treatment as necessary.
It is essential to discuss any pre-existing health conditions with your healthcare provider before starting the GLP-1 Program. While the program is designed to improve certain health metrics and can be tailored to individuals with various health conditions, your provider will determine if the program is safe and suitable for you based on your specific health profile.
