GLP-1 and GIP are hormones that facilitate weight management through several physiological mechanisms:

• Appetite Regulation: They contribute to increased satiety after meals, which can lead to a natural reduction in overall caloric intake.

• Blood Sugar Support: These medications enhance the body’s utilization of insulin to manage blood glucose levels effectively.
