What are GLP-1 injections?
GLP-1 injections are a breakthrough treatment for diabetes that has also been shown to aid with weight loss. GLP-1 medications come in an easy-to-use, prefilled pen with a dose dial for precise control, delivering a painless, once-weekly injection with a tiny needle just under the skin
How do they work?
This new class of weight loss medications help you to lose weight by counteracting biological factors that prevent many people from losing weight. They act like a hormone your body makes naturally in order to activate key metabolic pathways and help support sustained weight loss.
Why do we use GLP1 injections?
GLP1 injections are the safest and most effective medical weight loss treatment available – which is why we use them in our programme if medically indicated.
Who cannot take GLP-1s?
- If you are pregnant or nursing.
- If you have had a serious allergic reaction to GLP-1 medications before.
- If you have a history of thyroid cancer of genetic disease called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia.
