Hormn uses a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists to help with weight loss.

These medications are safe, doctor-prescribed, and used worldwide for weight management and metabolic health.

What Are GLP-1s?

GLP-1 stands for Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 — a hormone your body naturally makes.

GLP-1 medications copy this hormone to help with:

  • Appetite control

  • Fullness after meals

  • Blood sugar regulation

They work with your body to help you eat less, feel full sooner, and reduce cravings.

How Do They Work?

GLP-1s help with weight loss in three main ways:

  1. Slow down digestion so you stay fuller longer

  2. Reduce hunger signals in the brain

  3. Control blood sugar to lower crashes and cravings

Most people eat smaller portions without trying — and feel satisfied.

What Results Can You Expect?

  • Weight loss begins in the first few weeks

  • Results build over 3–6 months, with best outcomes at 6–12 months

  • Average weight loss: 5–22% of total body weight, depending on diet and consistency

When combined with healthy eating and movement, results are faster and longer lasting.
