What Are GLP-1s?

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s) support weight loss by regulating appetite and improving metabolism. They mimic natural hormones in your body, which can:

• Reduce Hunger: They slow the stomach emptying, helping you feel full longer.
• Improve Insulin Sensitivity: This helps stabilize blood sugar levels and prevents fat storage.
• Support Sustainable Weight Loss: By addressing underlying metabolic issues, GLP-1s make it easier to lose and keep weight off.

While originally used only as a diabetes medication, GLP-1s have proven highly effective for people struggling with excess weight and offer a tailored approach to weight management.

Types of GLP-1s

At My Doctors Live MediSpa, we offer two types of GLP-1s, including:

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a once-weekly injection derived from a naturally occurring protein in the body that helps regulate blood sugar levels and suppress appetite. As a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) agonist, semaglutide closely mimics hormones involved in digestion. This helps you eat less and supports sustainable weight loss. In addition to its appetite-suppressing properties, semaglutide also helps lower blood sugar and blood pressure, offering a comprehensive approach to improving overall health.

Tirzepatide (Generic Mounjaro®)

Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injection approved by the FDA for weight loss. It works on two key receptors: GLP-1 and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). This dual action enhances insulin regulation, decreases food intake, and improves glucose control. Our version of compounded tirzepatide also includes a B-12 complex, which helps reduce common side effects such as nausea and heartburn.

Are GLP-1s Right for You?

GLP-1s can benefit people who:

• Struggle with weight despite a healthy diet and exercise
• Experience challenges with appetite control or emotional eating
• Want a customized medically supervised solution

We’ll evaluate your health history and goals during your consultation to determine if GLP-1s are the right path for you. We also offer other weight loss support options, such as lipotropic (lipo-mino) injections with a special blend of ingredients like B-12 and carnitine to improve metabolism and muscle recovery while boosting energy and fat loss.
