Glucagon Like Peptide-1
A New Approach
What is a GLP-1 RA
A Glucagon-Like-Peptide-1 Receptor Agonist (GLP-1RA) is a medication that works like a natural hormone your body already makes, GLP-1.
This hormone helps control blood sugar, appetite and digestion. People with Obesity or Type 2 Diabetes often don’t make enough GLP-1 or don’t respond to it as well to it.
GLP-1 RA's “boost” this system so your body can regulate food intake and blood sugar more normally.
Is A GLP-1 RA Right For Me?
GLP-1 medications are not for everyone, but they can be life changing for people who struggle with blood sugar control, weight gain, cravings, or metabolic health issues.
Your doctor will help determine your eligibility for GLP-1 RA's

Before deciding whether a GLP-1 is right for you, it helps to understand how these medications work, who they’re designed for, and what benefits they offer.
