At Alan Health, we believe that weight care should be personal, effective, and grounded in science. If you’re exploring GLP-1 medications to support your journey, liraglutide is a proven option worth knowing about—especially if you’re just getting started.
What Is Liraglutide?
Liraglutide is a prescription GLP-1 receptor agonist—a type of medication originally developed to help manage blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. It’s now widely used for chronic weight management, and with good reason: clinical studies have shown it can help people lose significant weight safely and sustainably.
At Alan Health, we offer both compounded liraglutide and generic liraglutide (Victoza® or Saxenda®) as part of personalized treatment plans.
Our licensed providers create a treatment plan tailored to your needs and ship medications directly to your door.
How Liraglutide Works
Liraglutide mimics a naturally occurring hormone in your body called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). Here’s what that means for you:
- Feel full faster: It helps reduce hunger and improves satiety, so you eat less without constant cravings.
- Slow digestion: Food moves through your stomach more gradually, extending the feeling of fullness.
- Balance blood sugar: It supports your body’s insulin response and helps prevent spikes and crashes.
Together, these effects help you build a more consistent, empowered relationship with food—without relying on willpower alone.
Why Daily Dosing Works
Unlike once-weekly GLP-1 medications (like semaglutide or tirzepatide), liraglutide is taken daily. Some people find this leads to:
- Fewer digestive side effects
- Smoother appetite control
- A sense of routine that fits their daily habits
It’s also a great option for those who want to start low and go slow—especially if you’re new to GLP-1 medications or prefer to avoid sudden changes in appetite or energy.
Who Is It For?
Liraglutide may be right for you if:
- Your BMI is 30 or higher, or
- Your BMI is 27 or higher and you have a related health condition (such as high blood pressure or insulin resistance)
It’s an ideal choice for those starting their weight care journey or looking for an effective, flexible alternative to weekly injectables.
