weight loss with GLP-1 injections in san antonio
We offer two GLP-1 Injections
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a medication initially developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, it has also gained attention and approval for its effectiveness in promoting weight loss. Semaglutide belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which work by mimicking the action of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels and appetite.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is an FDA-approved medication for type 2 diabetes, also used off-label for obesity treatment. It’s a dual GLP-1 and GIP agonist administered weekly via injection. It effectively lowers blood sugar and aids weight loss.
Am I A Candidate for GLP-1 Injections?
It’s important to note that GLP-1 medications for weight loss are typically prescribed to individuals who have a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or higher and have at least one weight-related condition (such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes) or individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher, even without related conditions. GLP-1 medications should be used as part of a comprehensive weight management program that includes a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
How Do GLP-1s Work?
Here’s how it works:
Appetite Control: GLP-1s helps regulate appetite by affecting the hypothalamus in the brain. It increases feelings of fullness (satiety) and reduces hunger, which can lead to decreased food intake.
Slows Gastric Emptying: This medication slows down the emptying of the stomach contents into the small intestine. This leads to a longer-lasting feeling of fullness after meals, helping to control calorie intake.
Blood Sugar Control: GLP-1s also have a positive effect on blood sugar levels. It helps to lower blood glucose by stimulating the release of insulin when blood sugar is high and reducing the release of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar.
Weight Loss: The combination of reduced calorie intake, prolonged feelings of fullness, and better blood sugar control typically results in weight loss for individuals using GLP-1s.
It’s important to note that GLP-1 is prescribed as part of a comprehensive weight management program, which includes dietary changes and increased physical activity. It is typically used for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) indicating obesity or overweight individuals with certain obesity-related health conditions.
