What is GLP-1?
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a natural hormone in your body produced by the intestine after eating
How GLP-1 works in the body
After eating, your intestine releases GLP-1, which sends your brain a "I'm full" signal. This hormone also slows stomach emptying (food is digested longer) and stimulates insulin production. In people with excess weight, the GLP-1 signal is weakened — that's what leads to overeating.
GLP-1 agonists are drugs that mimic this hormone at much higher levels. They work for 5-7 days (hence one injection per week), sharply reducing appetite and changing your relationship with food. Over 7+ years of research, they've become the most effective weight loss method after bariatric surgery.
Brain
GLP-1 acts on the appetite center in the hypothalamus, reducing the desire to eat by 30-50%
Stomach
Slows stomach emptying — you feel full longer after every meal
Metabolism
Dual and triple agonists additionally accelerate fat burning via GIP and glucagon receptors
