Additionally, these medications enhance insulin secretion in response to meals and suppress glucagon release, improving glycemic control
Movement & Stress Management: Regular exercise complements metabolic effects, while stress reduction techniques (like mindfulness or yoga) can further enhance your weight loss journey
The full scope at Ascend includes: Obesity and overweight with comorbidities - full workup, GLP-1 candidacy assessment, lifestyle integration Type 2 diabetes with weight management goals - GLP-1 medications often address both indications simultaneously Hypertension tied to weight - coordinated medication review and lifestyle work Dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome - lipids often improve markedly with weight loss Prediabetes - HbA1c 5.7-6.4% range, where intervention can prevent progression Fatty liver disease (MASLD) - weight loss is the primary intervention
By activating GLP-1 receptors, natural GLP-1 and GLP-1RAs reduce insulin resistance, suppress neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, and prevent negative changes in neuroplasticity
But more and more research has shown that GLP-1s have other benefits, particularly when it comes to weight management, whether you have Type 2 diabetes or not
Dont wait until youre starving
