GLP-1 FOR WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

GLP-1 (glucagon-like-peptide-1), a receptor agonist
This means that it mimics the hormone GLP-1, which regulates hunger and food intake. Additionally, when GLP-1 is taken on a weekly basis, it suppresses the hormone glucagon to prevent feelings of hunger. Additionally, it delays gastric emptying, therefore making you feel more satisfied after a meal.

GLP-1 injections combined with exercise resulted in a mean decrease in body weight
A recent study of 1,961 people found that in people with a BMI over 30 and who did not have diabetes, GLP-1 injections combined with exercise resulted in a mean decrease in body weight of 14.9% over 68 weeks. The placebo group saw only a 2.4% mean decrease in weight.

GLP-1 provided even more significant weight loss
A second study found that when combined with behavioral therapy and incorporating a low-calorie diet into meal plans, GLP-1 provided even more significant weight loss.
GLP-1 is often prescribed to men and women who have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or individuals with a BMI of 27 or higher that is accompanied by high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, or other health conditions that can make weight loss difficult.
Why Start GLP-1 Injections?
GLP-1 injections offer many benefits to qualified candidates, including:
- Significantly reducing weight when combined with changes in diet and exercise
- Providing consistent, safe weight loss over an extended period of time
- Diminished risk of heart and cardiovascular disease upon achieving a healthy weight
- Helping you to look and feel healthier
- Requiring only one injection per week
How quickly Does GLP-1 Work for Weight Loss?
Studies have shown that GLP-1 is most effective when combined with exercise and changes in diet. Therefore, the exact amount of time someone might need to receive this treatment will depend on current health conditions (if any) and if exercise and dietary changes can be adopted permanently to maintain an ideal weight.
Are You A Candidate?
If you are someone who has excess weight and/or is obese without any significant health complications, you might be a candidate for GLP-1 injections.
Why Start GLP-1 Injections?
Potential side effects can include headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, dizziness, changes in mood, constipation or diarrhea, heartburn, and bloating. While rare, more severe side effects can include pancreatitis, allergic reactions, kidney damage, gallstones, and others.
Your medical specialist at Gameday Men’s Health will thoroughly discuss the potential side effects with you and answer any questions you might have regarding the injections.
What to Expect
During Your Consultation
Your Gameday Men’s Health GLP-1 specialist will review your health history with you and perform a physical health analysis, including evaluating your BMI.
During Your Remaining Appointments
GLP-1 injections only need to be given once per week as a subcutaneous injection. The dosage is typically increased over time as the weeks’ progress. The exact amount of dosage given will depend on your specific health, weight, and needs. As mentioned, most individuals begin to notice weight loss between 4 to 6 weeks after beginning the injections.
SETTING A NEW STANDARD
I recently completed shockwave treatment for my knee at Gameday Men’s Health Biltmore Arcadia, and the results are incredible. After years of knee trouble,I can already feel a significant difference and much needed relief. The experience was made even better by my nurse, ThuZar, who was kind and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the process. I’m genuinely looking forward to my next appointment. This has been a fantastic experience!

Four weeks ago, I visited for the first time, and I can not express how grateful I am for the incredible care received. From the moment I walked in, Faye was welcoming and made me feel at ease. Thuzar and Tiffany took the time to thoroughly explain the treatment options available to me and ans answered all of my questions with patience and understanding. It was clear that he truly cared about my well-being and wanted to help me feel my best. The facility itself was clean, which added to the overall positive experience. I left feeling confident in the care I received and excited to start my treatment plan. Thank you, Gameday for providing such exceptional service. I look forward to continuing my journey to better health with your support.
