[00:00:00]How on earth do these weight loss jabs actually work? Weight loss jabs, known scientifically as GLP-1s, are injections that people take to feel more full and reduce the amount of calories that they eat. There are a few types of GLP-1, and they all have their own little branded name. Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro are likely names you're quite familiar with by now. So, what these jabs do are effectively mimic what's known as the glucagon-like peptide-1, [music] or GLP-1, hormone. Now, the GLP-1 hormone is naturally secreted by the small intestine. But, if we wanted to elevate that, we'd use an injection.

[00:00:34][music] By injecting ourselves with Mounjaro, with Wegovy, with Ozempic, we're artificially [music] elevating the amount of GLP-1 we have in our body.

[00:00:43]Through the combination of the GLP-1 that's secreted from our small intestine and what we inject into the body, you'll notice that it won't take much food at all to feel full and regulate your blood sugars. The result of this will be reduced cravings and lower calorie consumption, therefore resulting in your weight going down over time.
