A GLP-1 receptor agonist stimulates insulin production and suppresses glucagon secretion. Additionally, GLP-1 is effective for weight loss, with the ability to help individuals lose a noticeable amount of their body weight when combined with diet and exercise.

GLP-1 aids in weight loss by reducing appetite and increasing satiety. It slows gastric emptying and limits food intake, leading to reduced calories and increased weight loss.

Schedule a wellness consult  to discuss weight loss goals and options. If recent bloodwork is not available, we can  send you for blood work to use a reference when building your treatment plan.

Comprehensive bloodwork needs to be obtained or if you have recently had labs done, we will carefully review your levels to determine if a GLP1 is right for you. When starting your journey to losing weight with injections, it is important to understand that healthy food options and exercise is very important for best results.

Once lab work is reviewed and you are confirmed a candidate for weight loss injections, the medication is ordered and will be sent to our office. Once the medication arrives, we will schedule an in office tutorial to show you how to properly inject yourself at home. Once your first month is complete, we will reconnect to discuss your progress and determine if dosing needs an adjustment. We will order your next kit to be sent directly to your home.

Not everyone will experience side effects, however, there may be gastrointestinal implications including but not limited to nausea, dyspepsia, abdominal bloating, diarrhea, constipation, low blood sugar, etc. To reduce your risks of side effects, we encourage an active lifestyle and proper nutritional intake during and after treatment. We offer vitamin shots that can help to replace essential nutrients that may decline while on these medications.
