What are GLP-1 receptor agonists?
GLP-1 receptor agonists are medications that help control appetite and blood sugar levels, supporting weight loss by reducing hunger and improving metabolism.
How do they work in your body? They work by slowing gastric emptying, which leads to a longer feeling of fullness, and by increasing insulin production to control blood sugar. However, they can cause common side effects such as nausea or digestive discomfort. The benefits are usually noticeable after several weeks of continuous use.
