Why GLP-1s Are the Most Effective Weight Loss Tools Today
In 2025, GLP-1 receptor agonists are widely regarded as the gold standard for obesity treatment. With new compounds like retatrutide entering the market, weight loss options have expanded, giving patients powerful new tools to regain control over their health.
The Science Behind GLP-1s
GLP-1 medications act on brain centers that regulate hunger. Tirzepatide, a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, and retatrutide, a triple agonist (GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors), have shown even greater effects, addressing metabolic dysfunction on multiple levels.
