GLP-1 Metabolic Programs

What Are GLP-1 and GIP Medications?

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide) are hormones naturally produced in the gut. They send messages to the brain, pancreas, and stomach that help regulate appetite, blood sugar, and metabolism.

GLP-1 and GIP peptide medications — such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide — are bioidentical analogs of these natural hormones. They support sustainable weight loss and improved metabolic health by helping the body work smarter, not harder.

How They Work

GLP-1 and GIP medications act through several key mechanisms:

• Appetite Regulation: They signal fullness and slow stomach emptying, which helps reduce overeating and improve portion control.
• Blood Sugar Balance: They enhance insulin secretion and suppress glucagon release after meals, helping stabilize glucose levels and reduce cravings.
• Fat Metabolism: Over time, they shift the body toward using stored fat for fuel, promoting gradual, healthy weight loss.
• Cardiovascular Support: Clinical research has shown GLP-1 therapies may improve lipid profiles and reduce cardiovascular risk markers.

Tirzepatide combines both GLP-1 and GIP pathways, producing even stronger effects on metabolic control and body composition.
