Understanding GLP-1 Agonists: Expert insights from Dr. Kalmbacher
The Science of GLP-1 Agonists in Weight Loss
Advanced Treatments: GLP-1 Agonists
GLP-1 agonists (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 agonists) are advanced medications that mimic a natural hormone in your body. This hormone plays a crucial role in regulating appetite and blood sugar levels. By "agonizing" or activating the GLP-1 receptors, these medications enhance the natural effects of GLP-1 in your body.
​
As part of our weight management strategy, we utilize these state-of-the-art treatments when appropriate. These FDA-approved medications support effective weight loss by:
-
Controlling hunger and appetite
-
Slowing digestion so that you feel full, longer
-
Help your body use insulin better, which is good for people with type 2 diabetes
​
Dr. Kalmbacher will determine if GLP-1 agonists are best for your weight loss plan based on your health profile and goals.
FDA-Approved GLP-1 Agonists for Weight Loss
At Bayside Regenerative Medicine, we utilize FDA-approved GLP-1 agonists as part of our comprehensive weight management strategy. These medications include:
​
-
Wegovy (semaglutide): Approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition. It's also approved to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death, heart attack, and stroke in adults with cardiovascular disease and either obesity or overweight.
-
Zepbound (tirzepatide): Approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition.
​
It's important to note that while Ozempic (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) are FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes management, they are not specifically approved for weight loss. However, they contain the same active ingredients as Wegovy and Zepbound, respectively.
Dr. Kalmbacher will determine the most appropriate medication for your personalized plan based on your health, goals, and existing medical conditions.
Remember, these medications are used with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for optimal results. They should only be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
