The so-called weight loss injection (GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide, liraglutide) is a prescription medication for obesity or overweight with comorbidities. It works by suppressing appetite and slowing gastric emptying. Evidence from large randomized trials (e.g., STEP program) is strong: patients lose on average 10–15% of body weight. However, side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are common, especially initially. The injection does not replace long-term dietary changes and exercise – weight regain often occurs after discontinuation. Treatment is expensive and not always covered by insurance. Importantly, it is a drug, not a supplement, and requires medical supervision. MyBody-X does not directly advise on these medications, but blood tests can monitor related parameters like blood sugar or inflammation. The decision to use a weight loss injection should be based on a comprehensive medical evaluation, not solely on a genetic or home test.
