What are GLP-1 injections?

GLP-1 medication is a safe and clinically proven way to help you lose weight. This breakthrough medication acts on your metabolism to suppress your appetite, so you eat less food and lose more weight than with diet and exercise alone.

How do GLP-1 injections work?

GLP-1s are naturally occurring hormones that send signals to your brain to control your appetite and metabolism. GLP-1 medications act on the same receptors in our brains as naturally occurring GLP-1s to improve metabolism and reduce appetite.

Are there any side effects?

When starting or when your dosage increases, you may experience short-term side effects while your body adjusts. Don’t worry, these tend to be mild—most commonly nausea, diarrhoea or vomiting—and usually go away within a couple of weeks.

How long will it take to see results?

Using GLP-1 medication alongside Voy’s coaching, diet and exercise, you can expect to see results in 2-3 months.

How much weight can I lose?

We’re confident that you’ll lose at least 10% of your total body weight in 6 months—or your money back.

THE SCIENCE

Medication that works alongside biology

GLP-1 medications are an effective weight loss tool as they directly influence physiological factors that can hinder efforts to lose weight.

Reduce appetite

GLP-1 medications are an effective weight loss tool as they directly influence physiological factors that can hinder efforts to lose weight.

Curbs cravings

GLP-1 medications reduce cravings by
directly influencing the brain's reward centre, reducing the urge to reach for unhealthy snacks.

Reduce set weight

GLP-1 medications help to lower the body's natural weight ‘set point’, so weight can continue to be lost without hitting a plateau.

Improve insulin secretion

By improving insulin sensitivity, GLP-1 medications can help manage weight for everyone—even those with slower metabolic rates.

Participants using GLP-1 medication lost
5 times more weight than with diet & exercise alone¹

The benefits

Biology affects weight loss more than willpower does

For years, the biological complexity that underpins body weight has been overlooked. Using appropriate medical solutions like GLP-1 medication addresses the underlying causes of weight gain.

Genetics

Our genes can determine our appetite, satiety, metabolism, food cravings—and even where we carry body fat.

Metabolic rate

A slower metabolic rate burns fewer calories and often leads to cravings, making it easier to gain weight.

Hormones

Estrogen regulates fat storage, while testosterone impacts our metabolic rate. Imbalances of both can lead to weight gain.

Psychological factors

Low mood and persistent stress cause elevated cortisol levels which increase appetite and unhealthy cravings.
