This article explains GLP-1 receptor agonists, medications originally designed for type 2 diabetes, that are now widely used for weight loss. These drugs, such as Ozempic and Wegovy, work by reducing appetite and slowing digestion, helping individuals lose 5-15% of their body weight when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.
