What are GLP-1s?
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are a class of medications that regulate blood sugar. By mimicking the hormone released in the stomach after eating, GLP-1s prompt the body to produce more insulin and maintain blood sugar levels.
Providers started prescribing GLP-1s in injection form to help patients manage their type 2 diabetes. But in more recent years, GLP-1s have helped overweight and obese patients reach significant weight loss.
By slowing down the rate of gastric emptying, or the amount of time it takes for food to move through your stomach, GLP-1s help patients avoid overeating. When paired with a healthy diet and exercise, GLP-1s make it easier to choose the healthy option and reduce your calorie intake.
GLP-1s Available at The Well Westlake
At The Well Westlake, patients can choose from semaglutide or tirzepatide GLP-1 weight loss injections. These medications have helped many of our patients achieve long-term weight loss results.
Because you need to pair GLP-1s with healthy lifestyle habits, we have all weight loss patients join our comprehensive weight loss program, which includes:
- Nutritional counseling – Create a well-rounded eating plan and uncover missing nutrients in your diet with our nutritional counselor.
- Behavioral therapy – Rework your relationship with food and strengthen your healthy habits with help from our behavioral therapist.
- Weight loss injections – Boost your weight loss plan with injections like semaglutide or tirzepatide administered by our physicians.
- Additional treatments – Pair your weight loss program with treatments like TruFlex, IV therapy, and our Infrared sauna.
Weight loss plans at The Well Westlake last 12 weeks. Your physician will provide personalized weight loss recommendations during your consultation.
Your physician may also recommend pairing your GLP-1 injections with BodyTite to enhance your weight loss results. Once you have reached or are close to achieving your goal weight, BodyTite is recommended to tighten and tone the skin.
Using thermal energy emitting-electrodes, BodyTite destroys stubborn fat deposits while tightening the skin, and to complete the procedure, minimal liposuction is done to remove this liquified fat. We recommend consulting your physician to determine if BodyTite can help you reach your aesthetic goals.
