Commonly prescribed GLP-1 medications for weight management include: Semaglutide (brand names include Ozempic and Wegovy) Tirzepatide (brand names include Mounjaro) Liraglutide (brand names include Saxenda and Victoza) In addition to aiding in weight loss by reducing appetite, these medications can also improve blood glucose control, which is beneficial for individuals with or at risk for type 2 diabetes
The potential protective effects of semaglutide on mental health could be due to weight loss, a decrease in food noise, some combination of the two, or an entirely different mechanism, perhaps related to GLP-1's direct effects on the brain, says Anna Lembke, MD, a psychiatry professor at Stanford Medicine in California

- **Fullness Factor**: It helps you feel fuller for longer, which is super helpful when managing appetite on Ozempic
