Weight loss injections are prescription injections, such as Wegovy (semaglutide) or Mounjaro (tirzepatide), that mimic our natural gut hormones, known as GLP-1. They help to reduce appetite, slow digestion and increase feelings of fullness, helping people eat less and lose weight.
People take weight loss medication (GLP-1 agonists), such as Wegovy and Mounjaro, because they effectively reduce appetite, increase feelings of fullness, slow stomach emptying and lower cravings. This makes it easier to stick to a healthy eating plan which enables significant weight loss.
They are not a quick fix and need to be used with lifestyle changes which focus on the 5 Roots of Metabolic Health™, including Nutrition, Movement, Sleep, Mindset and Environment to achieve, under medical guidance, safe and sustainable results.
GLP-1 agonists are recommended by healthcare professionals primarily for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management in adults who meet specific clinical criteria. The most important consideration is to create a comprehensive plan that includes lifestyle changes to each of the 5 Roots of Metabolic Health™ to ensure that weight loss comes from body fat and prevents significant weight loss through muscle - this leads to sarcopenia (muscle loss), which reduces the metabolic ability of the body to burn fuel - ultimately resulting in rapid weight gain once medication is stopped.
