With all the buzz around weight loss injections like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound, it’s natural to wonder: How do these medications actually help you lose weight?

‍

You're not alone. Whether you’re just starting your research or already considering treatment, understanding what you're putting into your body is a crucial part of the journey. So let’s clear the confusion and get to the science—without the med-school jargon.

‍

The Truth About Weight Loss Injections

Here’s the good news: GLP-1 weight loss medications have been clinically proven to be effective in helping people shed unwanted pounds.

‍

But here’s what many programs won’t tell you: injections alone aren’t enough to create lasting change. You’ll still need to adopt healthier habits—like eating smarter, moving more, and staying consistent.

‍

That’s exactly where Fridays stands out.

GLP-1 Medications 101

Let’s break it down. GLP-1 stands for Glucagon-Like Peptide-1, a naturally occurring hormone produced in your gut after you eat.

‍

This hormone plays a crucial role in:

  • Regulating blood sugar
  • Controlling appetite
  • Slowing the emptying of your stomach
  • Helping you feel full faster and longer

‍

GLP-1 receptor agonists, like semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy), mimic this hormone to amplify its effects.

‍

That’s how they support:

  • Better glucose control
  • Reduced hunger and cravings
  • Gradual and sustainable weight loss

‍

When paired with expert support and healthy lifestyle changes, GLP-1s become a game-changing tool for transforming your health.

‍
