GLP-1 Weight Loss Injections – More Than Just Weight Loss

At 121 Clinic, we’ve seen firsthand how GLP-1 receptor agonist weight loss injections such as Mounjaro, Ozempic and Wegovy are transforming lives — not just through shedding pounds, but by improving overall health, reducing medication needs, and restoring confidence.

And this change couldn’t come at a more urgent time.

The UK’s Growing Obesity Challenge

Obesity is a significant and worsening health problem in the UK. In England, 28% of the population have obesity and a further 36% are affected by overweight

Projections suggest that in Britain, by 2050:

  • 60% of men,

  • 50% of women, and

  • 26% of those aged under 16

…will be living with obesity.²

Unless we act now, we will lose the chance to reverse the trend!

Obesity complications

Obesity is strongly linked with:

  • Serious health complications, including:

    • Type 2 diabetes

    • Vascular disease

    • Asthma

    • Several cancers

A BMI of 30–35 kg/m² reduces life expectancy by 2–4 years, and BMI above 40 kg/m² can cut it by 8–10 years

How GLP-1 Injections Help Beyond Weight Loss

GLP-1 injections work by:

  • Reducing appetite and cravings

  • Slowing digestion for better portion control

  • Supporting healthy blood sugar levels

  • Encouraging sustainable lifestyle changes

Emerging evidence shows benefits beyond weight reduction, including:

  • Lower blood pressure

  • Reduced reliance on diabetes medication

  • Improved mobility and joint health

  • Better sleep and reduced symptoms of sleep apnoea

  • Improved mood and mental wellbeing

A Patient Success Story – Jane’s Journey at 121 Clinic

Jane, a 46-year-old from Beaconsfield, came to 121 Clinic after struggling with weight gain following surgical menopause. Despite healthy eating and regular exercise, she couldn’t shift the excess weight.

She also suffered from knee pain and borderline high blood pressure, both of which were affecting her quality of life.

Her results after 6 months on a personalised GLP-1 treatment plan:

  • Weight loss: 2.5 stone (16 kg)

  • Blood pressure: Back to normal range

  • Mobility: Able to walk longer distances without knee pain

  • Confidence: Wearing clothes she hadn’t fitted into for years

Sarah said:

“The injections have given me more than just a smaller waistline. I’ve got my energy back, my knees don’t hurt, and I feel like myself again.”
