GLP-1s

A

Your body naturally produces hormones called GLP-1 and GIP that regulate appetite, blood sugar, and metabolism. FDA-approved medications such as semaglutide, targeting GLP-1, and tirzepatide, targeting both GLP-1 and GIP, activate these hormone receptors, signaling your brain that you're full even after eating less, reducing hunger, promoting significant weight loss, and improving blood sugar control and metabolic health, with certain treatments also providing cardiovascular benefits. Weight-management eligibility generally requires a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 with a weight-related condition, depending on medical history. At JOIIYA, we guide and mentor you through GLP-1 treatments, connecting you with qualified medical professionals while helping you combine appropriate medications with healthy nutrition, exercise, and sustainable lifestyle choices for lasting health, vitality, and longevity.
