GLP-1 Injections Encinitas

According to the CDC, 49.1% of adults in the US tried to lose weight between 2013 and 2016. About 62.9% of these adults stated they attempted weight loss by exercising and watching their calories with a healthier diet. However, emerging research has shown that most weight lost through diets often returns.

If you’ve struggled with diet and exercise to lose weight, you may feel at a loss about the next step. Fortunately, GLP-1 injections have proven to be an excellent method to curb your appetite and finally lose weight.

GLP-1 injections are a type of GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) antagonist. Essentially, GLP-1 is a naturally occurring hormone found in the body and plays a significant role in regulating hunger. This GLP-1 hormone is released into the body after eating and can also help to slow digestion. 

After receiving a GLP-1 injection, the GLP-1 antagonists bind themselves to GLP-1 receptors. The GLP-1 antagonists then mimic the effects of the naturally-developed GLP-1. This process helps curb feelings of hunger and reduces your appetite, ceasing additional snacking or large portions that hamper the weight loss of many.

For several reasons, GLP-1 has helped many people with their weight loss. First, the GLP-1 antagonists in GLP-1 injections suppress the glucagon hormone – reducing feelings of hunger. GLP-1 has also been proven to help with insulin sensitivity and help lower blood sugar levels. Lowering blood sugar levels can help to reduce sugar consumption, as well as aid in fat loss. 

Semiglutide injections have helped reduce the caloric intake of consumers, which is crucial to lose weight. Also, these injections may help lower your risk of heart disease, reduce blood pressure, and improve cholesterol. Although this is still under research, it could be said that the weight loss from the injections would naturally have other health benefits.

This question is the most worrisome part for many patients. Are there any side effects to GLP-1 injections? As with most shots, there will always be a small list of possible side effects. However, the side effects are minimal and can include:

• Nausea 
• Dizziness 
• Fatigue 
• Stomach pain 
• Low blood sugar 
  

Of course, all side effects will be reviewed with a consultation. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, GLP-1 injections are not recommended. To learn whether GLP-1 injections are right for you, we advise you to visit a professional at The Studio Med Spa in Encinitas to learn more about the injections and whether they could be effective with your personal history.

The weight you lose with GLP-1 injections depends on several factors. However, some randomized control trials show that patients with obesity lost a mean of 6% of their weight by week 12 and 12% of their weight by week 28. While every case is different, you can be sure that GLP-1 injections provide additional aid with weight loss by helping curb hunger and reduce the need to snack and eat more than your caloric needs.

GLP-1 injections are administered in the abdominal area, similar to insulin in diabetes. These injections are dispensed every week using a fine needle to keep symptoms of pain and discomfort to a minimum.

GLP-1 injections have steadily become a go-to for celebrities and many others to endure in their weight loss journey until they achieve their goals. Some of the additional benefits that make GLP-1 injections so appealing for many include: 

• The reduction in appetite 
• Maintenance for these injections (done weekly)
• Effective results 
• Minimal discomfort 
• There is no need to take any additional daily medication
• The program does not interfere with daily routines with diets, weight loss routines, constant exercise, and more 
• You can continue to enjoy foods you love on a smaller scale
