GLP-1 is a naturally produced hormone from our small intestine. These hormones stimulate your brain to induce satiation. It also works by slowing down gut motility and promotes fullness, so you'll be less hungry. It also helps with blood sugar regulation. 

Since these medications slow gastric emptying and intestinal motility, nausea, bloating, and constipation are known side effects. Ozempic also decreases your thirst drive which can add to constipation. To help prevent constipation, try to drink plenty of water and increase fiber intake. You can also take daily Miralax.
