Understanding GLP-1

A new class of medication,
a new approach to weight management

GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic a natural hormone that may help regulate appetite, blood sugar, and body weight when prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider.

How they work

GLP-1 medications activate receptors in your brain that may help regulate appetite and food intake while slowing gastric emptying — which may help you feel full longer. Individual responses vary.

Who may qualify

Adults with a BMI of 30+ (or 27+ with weight-related conditions) may be candidates. A licensed provider makes the final determination.

What to expect

Clinical trials have studied outcomes over 12–16 months. Individual results vary significantly based on the person, medication, dosage, and adherence to treatment plans.
