 GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide mimic the GLP-1 hormone, released in the gut in response to eating. One role of GLP-1 is to prompt the body to produce more insulin, which reduces blood sugar. For that reason, these medications have been used in patients with diabetes. But GLP-1 in higher amounts also signal parts of the brain that suppress your appetite and make you to feel full. When used in combination with diet and exercise, it can cause significant weight loss and a reduced risk of diabetes and heart disease in people who are obese or overweight.
