GLP-1s: What Should You Know About Them?

GLP‑1 medications are making waves because they help regulate appetite, support healthier blood sugar levels, and empower people to take control of their metabolic health.  In 2026, they’re more exciting than ever thanks to new long‑term research showing how these treatments can influence weight, heart health, and overall wellness over multiple years.  Clinicians now have clearer insights into who benefits most and how to personalize treatment plans for lasting success. Care teams are increasingly using GLP‑1s as part of a holistic, chronic‑care approach that emphasizes monitoring, structured goal‑setting, and ongoing support.  This shift means members can expect their providers to guide them with more confidence and evidence‑based direction than ever before.
