HOW DO GLP 1's WORK?
The science behind GLP-1 Medications
When you eat, your digestive system releases the GLP-1 hormone. One of its jobs is to tell your body to produce insulin, which reduces your blood sugar levels. High levels of GLP-1 reduces your appetite and makes you feel full.
GLP-1 medications mimic the GLP-1 hormone. Semaglutide and tirzepatide both mimic this body response, leading to a less hunger, a feeling of fullness. These conditions work together to help patients lose weight.
What You Need To Know About
GLP-1/GIP Injections
Side effects are typically mild and can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. These side effects usually subside within 2–3 weeks, with nausea being considered an "on target" side effect that helps reduce your caloric intake.
Less common but more serious side effects can include allergic reactions, low blood sugar, kidney problems (especially if you are very dehydrated), gallstones and pancreatitis. Thyroid tumors or cancer has been observed in rodents, but not yet humans.
You should avoid GLP-1/GIP Injections if any of the following conditions apply to you:
The standard, FDA-approved dosing schedule for GLP-1/GIP Injections is:
Most patients start at the lowest dose in the first month, then steadily increase every month until you have found the right dose that fits your needs. 10'mg, 12.5'mg, and 15'mg doses are considered maintenance doses.
You are not expected to make strict dietary changes during the plan, but most patients naturally consume fewer calories.
As constipation is a side effect to look out for, we recommend having a diet rich in fiber and drinking plenty of water, as doing so can minimize constipation.
