GLP-1 Medications Explained: Ozempic, Wegovy, and More
GLP-1 medications have become one of the most discussed developments in weight management.
How they work
They mimic a natural hormone that regulates appetite and slows digestion, leading to reduced food intake.
Who they're typically prescribed for
People who meet certain BMI thresholds or have weight-related health conditions, and often those with a history of unsuccessful dieting.
Getting started
A telehealth or in-person consultation with a licensed provider determines candidacy and appropriate dosing.
Key takeawayGLP-1 medications work by regulating appetite hormonally rather than through willpower alone, making them a meaningful option for people who've struggled with traditional dieting — but they require medical supervision.
