Have you heard of Ozempic or Wegovy? These are GLP-1 agonists that mimic a hormone produced in our bodies. At Biolyfe, we use these as tools to kickstart weight loss effectively without losing too much muscle mass.
Concept: GLP-1
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a hormone produced in the intestines that regulates blood sugar, slows gastric emptying, and promotes satiety. It is a key target for treating metabolic dysfunction and obesity.
Action 1: Medical Weight Loss Program
Our 3-month program supports your body's ability to produce its own GLP-1 agonists while using short-term medication to kickstart progress.
- 1Short-term GLP-1 agonist medication administration.
- 2Individualized supplements to restore natural GLP-1 production.
- 3Eating guidelines focusing on protein to minimize muscle loss.
- 4Setup a consultation with our Family Nurse Practitioner, Alicia.
Action 2: Eat Low Glycemic Index Foods
Low GI foods stabilize blood sugar and enhance GLP-1 secretion from the intestines by slowing digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.
- 1Choose Whole Grains: Quinoa, barley, and oats over refined grains.
- 2Increase Fiber: High-fiber vegetables, legumes, and berries.
- 3Combine Carbs with Protein/Fat: Slows down digestion and absorption.
- 4Avoid Sugary Snacks: Replace with nutrient-dense nuts, seeds, and yogurt.
GLP-1 levels increase 10-15 minutes after eating and stay elevated for several hours!
