Medical Weight Management with GLP-1 Agonists

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) agonists such as Ozempic and Mounjaro and Zepbound are a class of medications designed to mimic the action of a naturally occurring hormone called GLP-1. This hormone plays a critical role in regulating blood sugar levels, appetite, and digestion. These drugs were originally developed to manage Type 2 Diabetes by improving blood sugar control, but their benefits extend far beyond that.

What’s truly remarkable about these drugs is their ability to reduce constant food cravings, often called “food noise.” Many users find themselves naturally satisfied with smaller, nutrient-rich meals and say goodbye to endless snacking. Surprisingly, this effect also seems to extend to alcohol, with many people reporting fewer cravings and drinking less without even trying.​
