GLP-1s work by engaging with receptors in the brain that influence appetite and satiety, promoting reduced hunger and prolonged feelings of fullness. These mechanisms can support individuals in adhering to balanced diets and healthy eating routines.
GLP-1s are modeled after the naturally occurring GLP-1 hormone produced in response to food intake. By activating specific receptors, these treatments may reduce hunger and assist individuals in managing cravings. This action is intended to complement dietary efforts by helping individuals feel satisfied on a healthy, calorie-conscious diet.
GLP-1s can also delay the gastric emptying process, allowing food to remain in the stomach longer. This effect extends feelings of fullness between meals, potentially helping to manage total calorie intake, an essential component of weight management.
