Regain Control Over Appetite and Cravings
GLP-1 medications are prescription therapies that help your body regulate appetite and blood sugar more effectively. They mimic a natural hormone (glucagon-like peptide-1) that signals fullness, slows digestion, and reduces cravings, helping you eat less without feeling deprived. As your appetite becomes easier to manage, weight loss feels more sustainable. These medications are most effective when guided by a provider who tailors dosing, monitors progress, and adjusts your plan based on how your body responds over time.
What Do GLP-1 Medications Help With?
- Excess weight and obesity
- Chronic overeating and portion control challenges
- Persistent hunger and frequent cravings
- Insulin resistance and blood sugar imbalance
- Weight gain related to metabolic dysfunction
How Do GLP-1 Medications Promote Weight Loss?
GLP-1s work by copying a natural hormone your body releases after you eat. This hormone sends signals to your brain that you’re full, slows how quickly food leaves your stomach, and helps regulate blood sugar. As a result, you feel satisfied with smaller portions and experience fewer cravings between meals. At the same time, improved insulin response helps your body use energy more efficiently, supporting steady, sustainable weight loss over time.
What Are My GLP-1 Medication Options?
At Bay Area Medical Group, we offer compounded GLP-1s for flexible dosing and medically guided support. Compounded options allow our providers to tailor therapy to your needs while maintaining close oversight and making adjustments as your body responds.
GLP-1 Therapy
GLP-1s target brain centers that regulate appetite, helping you feel full sooner and stay satisfied longer. By slowing digestion and reducing cravings, it supports consistent weight loss while improving blood sugar regulation. Dosing is carefully adjusted over time to maximize results and minimize side effects under provider supervision.
Dual GIP/GLP-1 Therapy
GIP/GLP-1s act on two key metabolic pathways to enhance both appetite control and insulin sensitivity simultaneously. This dual-action approach helps reduce hunger, stabilize blood sugar, and support greater weight loss for some individuals. Treatment is customized, monitored, and adjusted to align with your goals and metabolic profile.
What Are the Key Benefits of GLP-1 Medications?
- Reduces appetite and promotes earlier fullness
- Helps control cravings and emotional eating
- Supports steady, sustainable weight loss
- Improves blood sugar regulation and insulin response

GLP-1 Medications FAQs
How Much Weight Can I Realistically Expect to Lose?
Results vary, but clinical data show many people lose 10–15% of their body weight with GLP-1s and 15–22% with GIP/GLP-1s over approximately 12 months when treatment is properly managed. However, results depend on factors like metabolism, consistency, and dosing.
How Quickly Will I See Results?
Most people notice reduced appetite and fewer cravings within the first few weeks. However, weight loss typically becomes more noticeable over the following weeks and months as your dosing is optimized and your body adapts to treatment.
Will I Feel Hungry All the Time?
No. GLP-1 medications help reduce hunger, not increase it. You’ll likely feel satisfied sooner, stay full longer, and find it easier to manage portions without feeling deprived.
