Understanding GLP-1 Weight Loss Medications
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) medications are part of a class of treatments originally developed to support blood sugar regulation. Today, they are also used in medically supervised weight loss programs to help regulate appetite, support metabolic function, and encourage healthier eating behaviors.
These medications work by:
- Supporting feelings of fullness
- Slowing gastric emptying
- Helping regulate blood sugar levels
- Reducing appetite and cravings
At Thrive Telemedicine, GLP-1 medications are only prescribed when appropriate and always as part of a comprehensive care plan.
