INSIGHT

How GLP-1 Agonists Work

GLP-1 agonists mimic a natural gut hormone to slow gastric emptying and increase satiety.
Shannon explains this reduces appetite, improves insulin response, and leads to weight loss.

INSIGHT

Brain–Gut Appetite Control

GLP-1 drugs act on the hypothalamus and gut to reduce food obsession and prolong fullness.
That brain–gut action explains benefits beyond glucose control, including appetite suppression.

INSIGHT

Tirzepatide’s Added Potency

Tirzepatide adds a GIP action and yields larger weight loss than GLP-1 alone.
Shannon compares tirzepatide results to outcomes similar to bariatric surgery for some patients.
