Begin your journey toward a healthier lifestyle with GLP-1 weight loss treatments. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Phoenix, AZ, we offer individualized treatment plans featuring GLP-1 receptor agonists, empowering clients to make sustainable lifestyle changes and support their overall health and wellness.

Appetite Regulation and Weight Management Support

GLP-1 medications, originally developed to assist with managing type 2 diabetes, belong to a class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists. They work by mimicking the hormone glucagon-like peptide-1, which helps regulate appetite and support glucose metabolism. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we integrate GLP-1 medications into a comprehensive approach to weight management, supporting clients’ health by addressing appetite and lifestyle factors.

Benefits of GLP-1s

How Do GLP-1s Work?

GLP-1s work by imitating the action of the glucagon-like peptide-1 hormone, which is involved in managing appetite and glucose levels. When administered, GLP-1s activate receptors in the brain associated with hunger regulation, promoting a feeling of fullness. This effect can support individuals in maintaining a balanced diet and help reduce overall calorie intake as part of a weight management plan.

In addition to appetite regulation, GLP-1 treatments may help moderate glucose levels by slowing gastric emptying, enhancing feelings of satiety, and supporting metabolic health when combined with lifestyle changes.

GLP-1: Administration and Dosage

At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, each client’s health history and weight management goals are carefully considered to determine the appropriate approach. GLP-1 medications are administered via a subcutaneous injection, typically in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, on a weekly basis. During your consultation, we will provide detailed guidance on administration and dosage adjustments to fit your health needs and minimize side effects.
