GLP-1 receptor agonists are prescription medications that help regulate blood sugar and appetite by mimicking the natural hormone GLP-1.
They slow digestion, reduce hunger signals, and increase feelings of fullness, which can lead to reduced calorie intake and gradual weight loss.
Most are self-administered injections or under your tongue, given either daily or weekly depending on the specific medication.
