How Wegovy works Wegovy mimics one hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which has three main effects: Slows the movement of food through the stomach, helping people feel fuller for longer Acts on the brains appetite control centre (the hypothalamus) to reduce hunger Improves blood sugar control by enhancing insulin function The natural GLP-1 hormone lasts only minutes in the body before being cleared
Over time, shortened telomeres signal cellular aging, dysfunction, and eventual decline
Due to the risks of these adverse reactions, close monitoring is required during administration
Our commitment to safety means you can trust that your weight loss plan is built on a solid foundation
Many patients on GLP-1 medications lose an average of 10% to 15% of their body weight over 12-18 months, depending on their body mass index, dose, and adherence to a treatment plan
