Lose Weight & Keep It Off With GLP-1 Injections

GLP-1 injections, such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, are advanced medications that mimic the action of the natural hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). This hormone plays a crucial role in regulating appetite and blood sugar levels. By enhancing insulin secretion and slowing gastric emptying, GLP-1 injections help reduce hunger, promote satiety, and stabilize blood sugar. These effects lead to reduced calorie intake and more effective weight loss. At Evolve Medical Associates, GLP-1 injections are part of a comprehensive, medically supervised weight loss program tailored to your needs.

GLP-1 Injections Help With:

  • Reducing appetite and food cravings
  • Stabilizing blood sugar levels
  • Promoting feelings of fullness and satiety
  • Supporting steady weight loss
  • Improving insulin sensitivity
  • Slowing gastric emptying
  • Enhancing metabolic health
  • Managing long-term weight maintenance

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that aids weight loss by mimicking the action of the natural hormone GLP-1. It helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels by increasing insulin secretion and slowing the rate at which food leaves the stomach. This leads to reduced hunger and improved feelings of fullness, making it easier to consume fewer calories. When used under medical supervision, semaglutide can contribute to significant and sustainable weight loss as part of a comprehensive weight loss program.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is another innovative GLP-1 receptor agonist that supports weight loss by combining the effects of GLP-1 and GIP (gastric inhibitory polypeptide) receptor activation. This dual-action approach helps control appetite and manage blood sugar levels more effectively. By promoting feelings of satiety and reducing hunger, tirzepatide aids in decreasing overall calorie intake. Used as part of a medically supervised weight loss strategy, tirzepatide can be a powerful tool for achieving and maintaining weight loss goals.

Dr Sudy is the best! I have been seeing him for Dysport for over a year and always have such a wonderful experience. The rest of the staff is also great - shout out to Courtney. I couldn’t recommend Evolve more!

I've had several sessions with Isabella for microneedling. She does a wonderful job of making the process as comfortable as possible. She is a pleasure to talk with and is always upbeat and positive. I really enjoy my time with her. She goes above and beyond to explain the process and what is the best treatment for your skin.

Have been a patient / client of Evolve for over 10 years having had vitamin infusions before /after surgery, multiple varicose vein treatments and 3-4 different types of facials / treatments offered. The staff has always been pleasant, professional and always answered any questions I might have. Drs Sudy / Yousuff have also referred me to specialists when felt it was the right option instead of trying to lure me into a procedure that wouldn’t really suit my needs or be in my best interest. Would recommend their practice without any doubts!

Medical Weight Loss FAQs

How Do GLP-1 Injections Work?

GLP-1 injections work by mimicking the effects of the naturally occurring hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). GLP-1 is released from the intestines in response to food intake and plays a crucial role in regulating appetite and glucose metabolism. These injections activate GLP-1 receptors in the brain, leading to reduced appetite and enhanced satiety.

By stimulating insulin secretion and inhibiting glucagon release, GLP-1 injections help regulate blood sugar levels and slow gastric emptying, which further contributes to a decreased sense of hunger. The combined effects of these mechanisms reduce calorie intake and support weight loss. GLP-1 injections not only assist in managing appetite but also improve overall metabolic health, making them a valuable tool for achieving and maintaining a healthier weight.

Are GLP-1 Injections Safe?

GLP-1 injections are generally considered safe when used under medical supervision. They are FDA-approved for weight management and have been shown to be effective in clinical studies. However, like all medications, they can have side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which usually diminish over time.

How Much Weight Can I Lose?

The amount of weight you can lose with medical weight loss treatments varies based on individual factors, including your starting weight, adherence to the program, and metabolic response. Clinical studies have shown that GLP-1 injections, such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, can lead to an average weight loss of 10-20% of body weight over several months. For a personalized estimate, consult with our team at Evolve Medical Associates.

Do I Need to Make Lifestyle Changes While Using Medical Weight Loss Treatments?

Yes, making lifestyle changes is an essential part of any medical weight loss program. While medications can aid in weight loss, adopting healthy eating habits, increasing physical activity, and making other positive lifestyle changes are crucial for achieving sustainable results. Your healthcare provider will guide you on incorporating these changes effectively to enhance the benefits of your weight loss treatment.
