At I Care Clinic, we believe that sustainable weight loss starts with a tailored medical approach. That is why we offer GLP-1 consultations with Prof. Dr. Kristel De Vogelaere, abdominal and bariatric surgeon and Doctor of Medical Sciences (VUB). With her many years of experience as an obesity specialist, she guides you through a medically supervised journey towards a healthy weight in Dutch, French or English.
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone your body naturally produces after a meal. It signals to your brain that you are full, slows down gastric emptying and helps regulate blood sugar levels. GLP-1 medication mimics this natural hormone. As a result, you feel full sooner and experience less hunger and fewer cravings between meals. This makes medical weight loss achievable, even when diets have not given lasting results in the past. The medication is administered through a weekly injection, often referred to as the weight loss injection.
A GLP-1 treatment may be suitable for adults with obesity or overweight, especially in combination with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol or sleep apnoea. During the consultation, Prof. Dr. De Vogelaere will assess whether this treatment is the right choice for you.
We start with an in-depth consultation. Based on this, Prof. Dr. De Vogelaere draws up a suitable treatment plan, after which your progress is monitored during regular follow-up consultations.
GLP-1 medication works best as part of a comprehensive approach. That is why, where needed, we combine the treatment with nutritional guidance from our nutrition team and advice on physical activity. This way, you work towards weight loss that lasts in the long term.
