But what some people dont understand is that when they stop taking the medication, they may gain all that weight back. (The current study did not evaluate weight gain after the discontinuation of GLP-1 medications.) GLP-1 medications act as a pharmaceutical version of a natural hormone in the gut, lowering blood sugar, keeping you feeling fuller longer, and slowing down digestion
This synergistic effect contributes to greater weight reduction compared to GLP-1-only therapies
But what I am saying is simple
Pre-existing conditions, current medication, blood pressure, liver and kidney function, neurological risks, mental health history, and previous intolerances should therefore be carefully assessed by a physician before any possible treatment
Diets high in refined carbohydrates, saturated fats, and animal protein whilst low in fruits and vegetables contribute to both NAFLD and nephrolithiasis
