The “Veselības centrs 4” branch “Anti-Aging Institute”, under the supervision of a physician and a nutrition specialist, offers a new weight loss program using the world-recognized GLP-1 medication.
Weight Loss Program with GLP-1
What is GLP-1 and how does it work?
GLP-1 are hormones that the body naturally synthesizes in the intestines when food enters the digestive system. GLP-1 hormones stimulate processes that prompt the pancreas to produce insulin — the hormone responsible for regulating glucose levels.
GLP-1 hormone analogues — medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy — were initially licensed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In recent years, they have also become recognized and effective medications in weight loss programs due to their ability to help reduce excess body weight and often significantly improve overall health.
Effects of GLP-1 on metabolism:
increases the feeling of fullness;
reduces appetite;
promotes insulin production, reduces glycogen stores in muscles and the liver, and helps the body use fat reserves more efficiently;
slows gastric activity and gastric emptying — food is processed more slowly, ensuring prolonged satiety;
reduces cravings for salty and sweet foods, as well as fatty and high-calorie meals.
During the program, the following are corrected:
insulin resistance, insulin and blood glucose levels;
ferritin deficiency;
homocysteine levels;
cholesterol and lipid profile;
arterial hypertension caused by excess body weight;
daily dietary habits and physical activity;
total weight loss of 10–20%.
Dietary supplements included in the program:
reduce cravings for sweet and salty carbohydrates;
regulate cholesterol levels;
stimulate metabolism, reduce appetite, and improve satiety;
improve sleep quality and nervous system function;
regulate homocysteine and folic acid levels.
