Let's explore the research and real-world data on the durability of weight loss achieved with GLP-1 analogue therapies and the vital role of lifestyle changes in maintaining results over time

The pancreas has two main functions: the first (exocrine) is to produce and secrete digestive enzymes to break down food so it can be absorbed and the second (endocrine) is to produce hormones like insulin and glucagon that regulate blood sugar levels

GLP-1 medications often lead to weight loss of 1525% within the first year, with most people reaching their peak loss around 36 weeks

Its also key to teach patients about side effects and the importance of sticking to their treatment plan
