What GLP-1 Medications Actually Do GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists work by: Slowing gastric emptying Reducing appetite and food intake Improving glucose control Enhancing insulin response These effects are extremely effective for reducing caloric intake , which explains the dramatic short-term weight loss many patients see
