What IT IS
Our medical weight loss program features GLP-1 medication, a prescription treatment designed to support safe and effective weight management. When paired with a healthy diet and regular exercise, GLP-1 medication can help adults achieve significant and sustainable weight loss.
Clinical studies have shown that individuals using GLP-1 medication in conjunction with lifestyle changes can experience an average weight loss of 9–13% over the course of a year. Our program is supervised by licensed medical professionals to ensure your treatment is tailored to your unique needs and health goals.
What to Expect
GLP-1 medications are administered via a simple injection just under the skin (subcutaneously), typically in the abdomen. Your practitioner will guide you on how to administer the injections and adjust the dosage as needed. Most patients begin to see weight loss after their dose has been increased one to two times, typically within a month. It’s important to have realistic expectations and to stay consistent with your treatment plan to achieve the best results.
How Does IT Work?
GLP-1 medication is a prescription treatment used to support healthy and sustained weight loss. When combined with a nutritious diet and regular physical activity, this medication can help adults achieve meaningful improvements in both weight and overall wellness.
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) medications work by mimicking the effects of a natural hormone that plays a key role in appetite regulation and blood sugar control. These medications help stabilize blood sugar after meals, enhance insulin secretion, and slow the emptying of the stomach. As a result, you feel fuller longer, experience reduced cravings, and consume fewer calories throughout the day.
