Medical Weight Loss, Redefined. GLP-1 Therapy for Real, Sustainable Results.
GLP-1 medications work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite, slow digestion, and improve blood sugar control. This helps you feel full longer & reduce cravings which ultimately leads to sustainable weight loss. These treatments are most effective when combined with a healthy diet and exercise plan.
Most patients begin noticing reduced appetite and gradual weight loss within the first few weeks. Significant weight loss typically occurs over several months. With consistent use, patients can lose 10–20% of their body weight over a year, depending on individual response and adherence to a healthy lifestyle including prioritizing protein and avoiding excess refined carbs. Optimization of hormone levels can also help men & women achieve their weight loss goals in combination with these agents.
Compounded GLP-1 medications can be a cost-effective alternative to brand-name versions, especially for those paying out of pocket. We source these medications from reputable, licensed compounding pharmacies whom we trust with your care. As with the branded versions, there are few contraindications to starting these drugs such as individuals with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, severe GI disease, a history of pancreatitis, end-stage kidney disease, pregnancy, or known hypersensitivity to these medications.
The most common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and mild stomach discomfort. Starting at a low dose and gradually increasing will help minimize such side effects as your body adjusts to the medication. Other tips include staying hydrated and eating smaller, protein-rich meals.
