GLP-1 vs. GLP-1/GIP: Understanding Your Advanced Weight Management Options!

Hey everyone! With all the buzz around advanced tools for weight loss, it's easy to get confused by the different options. Many of you ask about the distinctions between types of GLP-1 medications.

This visual from our partners at EllieMD beautifully breaks down the key differences and shared benefits between GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP.

Here’s a quick look at how they compare:

GLP-1

-Primarily a GLP-1 Receptor Agonist

-15% Average Weight Loss

-Generally More Cost Effective

GLP-1/GIP

-A Dual GIP + GLP-1 Receptor Agonist

-20%-25% Average Weight Loss

-Often associated with Less Side Effects

But here’s the powerful part – what BOTH types can help you achieve:

-Reduce inflammation

-Improve A1C (a marker for blood sugar control)

-Help regulate energy balance

-Decrease food noise and cravings

-Reduce appetite

-Slow gastric emptying (keeping you fuller longer)

-Support weight loss

-Lower blood sugar levels

-Improve insulin sensitivity

Understanding these differences and shared benefits is key to making informed decisions on your health journey. These tools can be powerful catalysts when integrated into a comprehensive strategy.
