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
Like most men I avoid the doctor’s office unless something is obviously broken (and sometimes even then…). It’s the long waits, harsh lighting, the impersonal interactions, and maybe a little of the feeling of invincibility that keeps us away. But Gameday is totally different. It’s the kind of place you’d go to anyway, it feels like the club seat lounge at the stadium. For a low testosterone test they take the sample, you get caught up on football highlights on their big screens, and you get the results before you leave. It’s organized, it’s fast, and their team is awesome. I can’t recommend Gameday enough.

The staff at Gameday Men’s Health is amazing, Jessica, Maurice and Callaway! I have been getting weekly service here and I’m feeling great! I was astonished by the results from the GainsWave and testosterone therapy.

Jessica, Maurice and Callaway were so great! With the weather being so crazy, I was feeling a little under the weather so I went in for a vitamin injection. And let me say their vitamin injections work! I slept for 12 hours and feel much better. I also enjoyed their drink and snack bar in the waiting room!

Great people. I called several clinics this was the only place that answered quickly, was both helpful and affordable. They don’t make you go to a separate lab and come back like many other clinics, they run it on site within a half hour and prescribe same day if your labs are low. Highly recommend.
