Description
Type 2 diabetes is usually accompanied by obesity and cardiovascular issues
GLP-1 is a member of the incretin neuropeptide family, secreted by intestinal enteroendocrine L-cells of the distal ileum and large intestine [4, 5] and also in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) in response to nutrient intake [6, 7]
Prescription GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) mimic the rise in this hormone to slow down digestion and prompt you to stop eating
More than 80% of those who had stopped treatment say they have maintained at least some of the dietary and grocery changes they adopted while taking GLP-1
All you have to do is tap the get started button and follow the intake prompts
A new PA is required if the patient switches from one covered GLP-1 to another, such as switching from Wegovy to Zepbound or Foundayo
