These drugs were originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes, but have also been approved for chronic weight management in people with obesity and at least one obesity-related medical condition. Obesity is linked to a range of serious health problems, including diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancer. For people with obesity and associated medical issues, medications like GLP-1 agonists can be part of a comprehensive weight loss strategy. However, if you do not have multiple medical conditions, the potential side effects of these drugs may outweigh the benefits, and they may not be necessary. GLP-1 is a natural hormone released in the body after eating certain types of meals. Instead of relying solely on synthetic GLP-1 medications, it's often healthier to focus on natural ways to stimulate your body's own GLP-1 production—such as through a balanced diet rich in fiber, healthy fats, and proteins.
