GLP-1/GIP Treatment for Weightloss

GLP-1/GIP Treatment for Weightloss

GLP-1/GIP Effective Medication

GLP-1/GIP treatment is unique in that it works by activating two incretin hormones in your body, GLP-1 (glucagon like peptide – 1) and GIP (Gastric inhibitory polypeptide). GLP-1 is similar, but works by activating one of the incretin hormones.

GLP-1/GIP helps regulate blood sugar by helping with insulin release and blocking certain sources of sugars. It aids in the function of digestion which helps the medication slow digestion, helping you feel full longer. This means your body does not need as much intake as normal as it works off the food it has. Since you will have this feeling of “fullness” please be careful to not overeat as it may cause gastric distress.

GLP-1/GIP also acts on appetite centers in the brain to decrease hunger. It will assist you with your weightloss.

At Dr. Kate Good Weightloss & Aesthetics, we use a tiny needle for our GLP-1/GIP syringes (it is doubtful you will feel anything) and it is injected into the fat of the belly, thigh, or arm.
