GLP-1 medications amplify these natural effects, and because GLP-1 receptors exist in the pancreas, liver, brain, heart, and kidneys, the benefits extend far beyond just metabolic control
This is a biological pattern, not a willpower problem
GLP-1 plays a key role in maintaining glucose homeostasis, as it markedly increases glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) (77) and attenuates hepatic glucose production, independent of its effect on pancreatic islets (78, 79)
These medications may help: Regulate appetite by promoting a feeling of fullness Support metabolic function to improve energy balance Assist with blood sugar regulation, which may help reduce cravings Individual responses may vary, and treatment plans are customized based on medical history and health goals
This can contribute to a plateau
