How GLP-1 Injections are Combatting Menopause

Menopause is closely linked to an increased risk of insulin resistance due to the

decline in estrogen levels during this life stage, which naturally improves insulin

sensitivity, meaning that when estrogen drops, the body becomes less responsive

to insulin, potentially leading to higher blood sugar levels and metabolic issues.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) helps with insulin resistance in several ways,

including:


Increasing Insulin Sensitivity

GLP-1 improves the response of pancreatic cells to insulin, which increases

the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin.


Reducing Glucagon Secretion

GLP-1 prevents the release of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar

levels.


Slowing Stomach Emptying

GLP-1 slows digestion, which means the body releases less glucose into the

bloodstream.


Increasing Satiety

GLP-1 affects the brain's hunger and satiety centers, making you feel full for

longer.


Reducing Inflammation

GLP-1 has anti-inflammatory properties that can suppress the inflammatory

response of macrophages.

This article is exactly what I have been looking for.  At around 44 I started to gain weight but I was eating the exact same amount of food and still exercising. My metabolism completely stopped. If I want to lose weight I literally need to starve but it always comes right back. Ive heard of GLP-1 helping to get my metabolism back and running. Ill be in touch! Thanks for posting.
