What Treatment Options are Available?
GLP-1 is a cutting-edge hormonal medication increasingly used in weight management. Originally developed for diabetes, it’s now recognized for its effectiveness in helping reduce body weight for many different individuals. This treatment works by mimicking a hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation, leading to reduced hunger and calorie intake. GLP-1 is also:
- Helpful with weight loss by decreasing appetite.
- Initially used for diabetes management.
- Administered through weekly injections.
- Suitable for long-term weight management plans.
It’s important to consult your provider at Sante to determine if GLP-1 is the right choice for your weight management goals.
