Medical Weight Loss

Lose weight with GLP-1's Shed those extra pounds and feel confident and proud of your weight loss.

GLP-1’s are glucagon like peptide-1 used for the treatment of obesity.  It was first approved in the U.S in 2017 to improve glycemic control in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Recently, once-weekly injections of have been shown to be an effective solution for patients who are having difficulty losing weight, helping them to lose as much as 15% of body fat in 6 months.  GLP-1’s are indicated as an adjunct to a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management in overweight or obese adult patients.

How Semaglutide Helps Weight Loss

Here’s how GLP-1’s helps with weight loss:

  1. Appetite Suppression: GLP-1’s acts on the GLP-1 receptors in the brain, which help to regulate appetite and food intake. It can reduce hunger and cravings, making it easier for people to consume fewer calories.
  2. Slowing Gastric Emptying: slows down the rate at which the stomach empties, which can lead to a feeling of fullness or satiety after eating smaller amounts of food. This contributes to reduced calorie intake.
  3. Improved Insulin Sensitivity: can enhance insulin sensitivity in the body, which helps to regulate blood sugar levels and reduce the storage of excess calories as fat.
  4. Increased Energy Expenditure: Some studies suggest that GLP-1’s  may increase energy expenditure, meaning that the body burns more calories at rest.
  5. Changes in Food Preferences: may also influence food preferences, making individuals more inclined to choose healthier foods and avoid high-calorie, high-fat options.

It’s important to note that GLP-1’s for weight loss is typically prescribed under medical supervision by Revitalize Health & Wellness, and is used as part of a comprehensive weight management program that includes dietary changes and increased physical activity. The exact mechanism of action and the extent of weight loss can vary from person to person, and individual results may differ.

GLP1’S HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO:

  • Improved glycemic control: GLP1’S  works by stimulating insulin secretion and reducing glucagon secretion, which helps to regulate blood sugar levels. It effectively reduces HbA1c levels (a measure of blood sugar control over time) in patients with type 2 diabetes.
  • Weight loss: GLP1’S  have been found to promote weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes. This may be due to its effects on reducing appetite and food intake and its ability to promote fat burning.
  • Cardiovascular benefits: GLP1’S have has been shown to have potential cardiovascular benefits by reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes who are at high risk for cardiovascular disease.
  • Potential neuroprotective effects: Some studies suggest that GLP1’S  may have potential neuroprotective effects by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain. This may have potential benefits for conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
  • Potential kidney-protective effects: GLP1’S  have has been shown to have potential kidney-protective effects by reducing the risk of kidney damage and progression of kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes.
