If you’re working on losing weight and want a proven option to support your journey, GLP-1 medications might be a great fit. These medications mimic a natural hormone in your body — glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) — that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. GLP-1 medications can help you feel full longer and keep blood sugar steadier, making it easier to stick to healthy habits and see lasting results.
How GLP-1 medications help with weight loss
Here’s how they work:
- Curb appetite: You feel full sooner.
- Slow digestion: You stay satisfied longer.
- Balance blood sugar: Fewer cravings and energy crashes.
Combined with a healthy lifestyle, these effects can lead to significant, sustainable weight loss.
Simple ways to support your weight loss journey
Pairing medication with small, consistent changes can make a big difference. Try these strategies alongside GLP-1 treatment:
- Choose whole foods like fruits, vegetables, lean protein and whole grains.
- Move regularly with walking, strength training or low-impact workouts.
- Work with our team — we’ll learn your health history and support your goals.
At West Georgia Center for Plastic Surgery, we offer medically supervised weight loss programs that include GLP-1 medication support for patients in Carrollton, Villa Rica, Douglasville, Bremen and communities across west Georgia and east Alabama.
