GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) agonists are classes of medications that mimic the action of natural hormones in the body. They effectively promote weight loss and manage blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. 

Individuals with an elevated body mass index (BMI) as well as those who have struggled with traditional weight loss methods or those with weight-related medical conditions might benefit. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if these medications are right for you. 

These medications work by increasing the release of insulin when blood sugar is high, reducing the amount of sugar produced by the liver, and delaying gastric emptying. The result is a decreased appetite, increased feeling of fullness, and reduced food intake, leading to weight loss.
