GLP-1 medications help reduce appetite, increase feelings of fullness, and support weight loss when combined with healthy lifestyle changes such as a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. These medications are FDA-approved prescription treatments for patients with obesity or are overweight with at least one other weight-related condition such as hypertension, type-2 diabetes, or dyslipidemia. A licensed healthcare provider can help determine if a GLP-1 medication is right for your weight management goals.
GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) are prescription medications that mimic the GLP-1 that your body naturally produces to regulate blood sugar, slow digestion, and reduce appetite. Originally developed to treat Type 2 diabetes, certain GLP-1 medications are also approved to support chronic weight management in eligible individuals. Some GLP-1s have also been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in certain patients and are approved to treat additional conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea and metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). For the best results, GLP-1 medications should be used alongside healthy eating, regular physical activity, and guidance from a healthcare provider.
