In addition to GLP-1 medications, there are other oral weight loss medications that may be prescribed for patients who qualify. These include phentermine, an appetite suppressant that helps reduce hunger and promotes weight loss, and orlistat, which works by inhibiting the absorption of fats in the digestive tract, leading to reduced calorie intake. Another option is bupropion-naltrexone, a combination medication that targets the brain’s reward system to reduce appetite and cravings. Topiramate, an anticonvulsant that has weight loss side effects, is also sometimes prescribed for weight management. These medications, along with a balanced diet and regular physical activity, can assist patients in achieving and maintaining weight loss, but they should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
1. GLP-1 Weight Management Injections
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone that helps regulate appetite and insulin levels, making it a powerful tool for weight loss. South Huron Wellness will offer monthly GLP-1 injections to assist clients in weight management. These injections will be administered by licensed medical professionals in a controlled, safe, and monitored environment. GLP-1s also increase satiety (how full you feel) after eating, which helps contribute to its weight loss properties. There’s also evidence that they contribute to weight loss by lowering the body’s natural “set point” for weight. GLP-1 medications are most effective when combined with the Nutritional counselling and daily activity. Weight reduction helped by GLP-1 medications are approaching the rates of long-term success observed after bariatric surgery.
How GLP-1 Medications Work
GLP-1 medications simulate the natural hormone produced in the intestines that helps people feel full after they eat. It also stimulates insulin secretion (allowing cells to take up glucose) and inhibits glucagon secretion (preventing more glucose from being released into the bloodstream) lowering blood sugar levels.
