How GLP-1 medications Work
1. By regulating the absorption of sugar in the intestine, Semaglutide and Tizepatide slow the pace at which food travels from the stomach to the intestines, which promotes the feeling of fullness. Food is broken down more completely and your body absorbs fewer calories.
2. Semaglutide and Tizepatide maintain optimal blood sugar levels by boosting insulin and minimizing glucagon whenever glucose levels rise. Semaglutide also enhances overall metabolic rate by enhancing the muscle cells’ sensitivity to insulin, increasing energy expenditure and burning more calories even when you’re at rest.
3. Semaglutide and Tizepatide help to modify your body’s set point (the weight your body is accustomed to maintain) by affecting certain regions of the brain. It effectively suppresses cravings, induces a faster feeling of fullness, and enhances energy expenditure.
Do I qualify for GLP-1 medications?
Research continues to show the effectiveness of Semaglutide and Tizepatide injections for weight loss. It also highlights the value of treating obesity as a chronic metabolic disease instead of expecting people to rely solely on willpower and lifestyle changes to manage their condition. But semaglutide is not a miracle drug. And it’s not for everyone.
Semaglutide is recommended for weight loss if you meet one of the following criteria:
- Have a body mass index (BMI) of 27kg/m2 or greater and at least one weight-related condition, such as high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol
- Have a BMI of 30kg/m2 or greater
Avoid Semaglutide and Tizepatide if you have:
- History of medullary thyroid cancer
- History of gallbladder disease
- History of pancreatitis
- Multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN2)
