Hey y y'all! In today's video, I'm going to share what GLP-1 medications are and why I chose to give it a try. Disclaimer: I AM NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL AND ALL DEFINITIONS ARE FOUND ON CHATGPT AND GOOGLE. CHAT-GPT DEFINITION: GLP-1 medications are a class of drugs that mimic the action of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone naturally produced in the gut. This hormone helps regulate blood sugar levels, appetite, and digestion. GLP-1 medications are primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes but have also been approved for weight management in people with obesity or overweight conditions. How GLP-1 Medications Work: 1. Control Blood Sugar: They stimulate insulin production when blood sugar is high and reduce glucose production by the liver. 2. Suppress Appetite: By acting on areas of the brain that regulate hunger, they help people feel full longer and reduce overeating. 3. Slow Digestion: They delay the emptying of the stomach, which also contributes to a feeling of fullness and helps with blood sugar control. GLP-1 Medications: - Ozempic (semaglutide): Approved for diabetes but often used off-label for weight loss. - Wegovy (semaglutide): Specifically approved for weight management. - Mounjaro (tirzepatide): A dual-action drug for diabetes that also shows significant weight loss effects. - rulicity (dulaglutide): Primarily for diabetes, with some weight loss benefits. Benefits of GLP-1 Medications: - Significant weight loss for those who struggle with obesity. - Improved blood sugar control. - Lower risk of cardiovascular issues in people with diabetes. Common Side Effects: - Nausea - Vomiting - Diarrhea or constipation - Decreased appetite - Fatigue These medications are often part of a broader plan that includes diet changes, exercise, and behavioral support to achieve sustainable results. Always consult with a healthcare provider to determine if they're a good fit for you. My doctor of choice: LifeRX.MD-
