Liraglutide

Liraglutide is a prescription injectable medication originally developed for Type 2 Diabetes but now widely used off-label for weight management and metabolic support. As a GLP-1 receptor agonist, it mimics a naturally occurring hormone in the body that regulates appetite, insulin release, and digestion.

At Momentum Health, our compounded Liraglutide is custom dosed for weight loss, helping individuals looking to reset their metabolism, reduce cravings, and sustainably lower body weight—without extreme dieting or stimulant-based options.

This isn’t a crash course. It’s a science-backed shift in how your body responds to food, glucose, and energy demand.

Liraglutide works by mimicking glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone that influences your hunger signals, slows gastric emptying, and improves blood sugar regulation.

Mechanisms include:

• Appetite Suppression: Signals fullness sooner and helps reduce food intake.
• Blood Sugar Regulation: Lowers fasting and post-meal glucose levels.
• Insulin Sensitivity Boost: Helps the body use insulin more effectively.
• Slower Digestion: Prolongs feelings of fullness and reduces snacking.

Unlike short-term solutions, Liraglutide supports gradual, long-term weight reduction by directly influencing the gut-brain axis and metabolic function.

• Sustainable Weight Loss (average of 8–15% of total body weight over several months)
• Reduced Cravings (especially for carbs and sugar)
• Improved Glycemic Control
• Increased Satiety & Fullness
• Decreased Visceral Fat (belly fat, stubborn fat)
• Higher Energy Levels
• Fewer Blood Sugar Crashes or Spikes
• Enhanced Motivation from Physical Progress
• Lower A1C in those with insulin resistance
• Support for PCOS, Pre-Diabetes, and Metabolic Syndrome

Momentum Liraglutide is often chosen by those who want a reliable alternative to Ozempic or Wegovy, but with more flexible dosing and lower upfront costs.
