What Is Liraglutide?
Liraglutide is a prescription medication originally developed to treat Type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists and is FDA-approved for weight management under the brand name Saxenda®.
Liraglutide works by mimicking a hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation. The result:
- reduced hunger
- smaller portion sizes
- powerful boost to your weight loss efforts.
How Liraglutide Helps You Lose Weight
Liraglutide offers a science-backed path to sustainable weight loss. Here’s how it works:
- Suppresses Appetite – Helps you feel fuller longer
- Delays Gastric Emptying – Slows digestion so you eat less
- Supports Metabolic Health – May improve blood sugar and insulin sensitivity
Many patients experience 5–10% body weight loss in the first few months, especially when paired with medical supervision, a healthy diet, and lifestyle support.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Liraglutide may be right for you if:
- Your BMI is 30 or higher
- Your BMI is 27 or higher with weight-related conditions like high blood pressure or Type 2 diabetes
- You’ve tried diet and exercise without long-term success
- You’re seeking a medically supervised approach
Before prescribing Liraglutide, we conduct a full health evaluation to ensure it’s safe and appropriate for you.
What to Expect During Treatment
Liraglutide is administered as a daily injection using a simple pre-filled pen.
Here’s what your treatment experience includes:
- Initial consultation and baseline lab work
- Gradual dose increases to minimize side effects
- Weekly or monthly check-ins with your provider
- Ongoing coaching to support lasting success
Some patients notice decreased appetite within a few days, while noticeable weight loss typically begins within the first month.
