How do GLP-1 medications work?

Glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide work by mimicking your body’s natural GLP-1 hormones. These hormones play a crucial role in regulating your appetite and blood sugar levels. Without enough GLP-1 hormones, your body can’t properly signal to your brain when you’re “full,” leading to overeating. Our FDA-approved injectable medications address this issue on a cellular level. By quieting “food noise,” these medications simplify eating in a calorie deficit—eating fewer calories than you burn—to streamline weight loss. Studies also show that GLP-1s improve cardiovascular health, reducing risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure.

Why should I see a doctor for GLP-1 medications?

GLP-1 medications are powerful tools, but using them to achieve safe, sustainable weight loss requires professional guidance. At Laramie Physicians Women & Wellness Clinic, our team of board-certified physicians and experienced healthcare professionals understands the science behind weight loss. And, the truth is, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Your anatomy, lifestyle, and goals are unique. In order to choose the right medication and dose, you need to work with a doctor who takes the time to understand your situation beyond a few basic questions. Beyond achieving your goals, we’re invested in helping you maintain your results. That’s why we take a comprehensive approach to medical weight loss in Laramie, and GLP-1 medications are only a piece of the equation.

Do I still need to diet or exercise?

To achieve safe, sustainable results, yes. GLP-1 medications make it easier to eat in a calorie deficit, which is the only way to lose weight. While these medications regulate how much you eat, what you eat is still important. Food fuels your body. At LPWWC, we provide personalized nutritional counseling throughout your weight loss journey. By ensuring you still receive all of the nutrients and protein you need while using GLP-1 medications, we help you maintain your strength and streamline your progress. While your diet plays a role in helping you maintain your muscle mass, so does exercise. Moving your body regularly is key not only to achieving your goals, but to maintaining them. In addition to exercise recommendations, we also provide muscle toning treatments to support your strength. We’re here to guide and support you every step of the way, and our expertise extends beyond medication.

How do I maintain my results after reaching my goal weight?

Reaching your goal weight is a monumental achievement, but health is a journey, not a destination. LPWWC’s approach to medical weight loss in Laramie consists of more than medications, empowering you to adopt realistic, healthy habits. Our support doesn’t cut off once you’ve reached a certain weight. We’re here to keep you accountable and supported, and we’ve designed our memberships to simplify the process.
