The Science Behind GLP-1s: Why Everyone's Talking About These Weight Loss Drugs

Описание: Most people think GLP-1 medications work because they “make you eat less.”
That’s not the real mechanism.

In this evidence-based lesson, Dr. Mohammed Paika — board-certified in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine — explains how GLP-1 medications actually work in the brain and body to regulate hunger, fullness, and food decision-making.

GLP-1s don’t speed up metabolism.
They don’t burn fat directly.
And they don’t override biology.

They restore disrupted brain–gut signaling that drives chronic hunger in obesity.

When patients understand this, everything changes:
• Why hunger feels quieter
• Why portions feel smaller naturally
• Why weight loss feels easier
• Why this is treatment — not cheating

This module breaks down the science simply so you can use GLP-1 therapy correctly, safely, and sustainably.
