Heard about GLP-1s and wondering what they actually do?

GLP-1 medications are used to help manage type 2 diabetes—and some can also support weight loss. They work by mimicking a natural hormone that helps control blood sugar, slow digestion, and curb appetite.

They’re not one-size-fits-all, and they’re usually part of a broader care plan that includes healthy habits. If you’re curious whether GLP-1s might be right for you, the best next step is to talk with your primary care provider.
