Is GLP-1 Right for Me?

GLP-1 is likely to be an ideal option for you if you have struggled to reach your goals with traditional methods like diet and exercise alone.

Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or Higher: GLP-1 is often recommended for adults classified as obese.
Are Dealing with Weight-Related Health Issues: If you're overweight with conditions like hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol, GLP-1 might be a good solution.
Seek a Medically Supervised Weight Loss Program: At HVME, we offer professional guidance and monitoring throughout your weight loss journey.
Are Committed to Lifestyle Changes: The ideal patient will be willing to combine medication with healthy eating and increased physical activity for optimal results.

How It Works

GLP-1 is a medication that mimics a natural hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which plays a role in appetite regulation and glucose metabolism. It works in several ways to aid weight loss.

Appetite Suppression

GLP-1 acts on receptors in the brain to reduce feelings of hunger, helping you feel fuller with less food.

Delayed Gastric Emptying

The medication also helps by slowing down the digestive process and prolonging your sense of satiety after meals.

Improved Insulin Secretion

By effectively enhancing your body's insulin response, GLP-1 helps your body better control its blood sugar levels.

Reduced Glucagon Release

Additionally, GLP-1 lowers the amount of glucagon produced by your body, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels.

When administered once weekly via a subcutaneous injection, GLP-1 has been shown in clinical studies to significantly assist with weight reduction. At the same time, you must be sure to combine this treatment with a reduced-calorie diet and regularly increased physical activity. Your provider will make sure that you get detailed instructions on how to administer the medication safely and effectively.
