How Do Weight Loss Medications Work?

Weight loss medications aren’t just about suppressing hunger—they work by changing the way your body regulates weight, appetite, and metabolism.

GLP-1 Receptor Agonists
- Slow down digestion, keeping you full longer.
- Reduce cravings by regulating hunger hormones.
- Improve blood sugar control, helping with insulin resistance.
Appetite Suppressants
- Affect brain chemicals to reduce hunger signals.
- Work best when combined with a structured nutrition plan.
Fat Absorption Blockers
- Prevent the body from absorbing some dietary fat.
- Must be paired with a low-fat diet to be effective.
