During Your Treatment

1

Medical Consultation

Your provider conducts a comprehensive health assessment including medical history review, current medications, and lifestyle evaluation. This determines whether GLP-1 therapy is appropriate and safe for you.

2

Lab Work

Baseline bloodwork may be ordered to assess metabolic markers, thyroid function, and overall health. These results help your provider tailor your treatment plan.

3

Treatment Plan

If you're a candidate for GLP-1 therapy, your provider creates a personalized plan including starting dose, titration schedule, and wellness goals. The plan is designed for gradual, sustainable results.

4

First Injection

Your provider administers your first GLP-1 injection and teaches you the self-injection technique for future doses. The injection uses a very fine needle and is given subcutaneously - most patients are surprised by how simple and painless it is.

5

Follow-Up Planning

Your provider outlines the follow-up schedule, what to expect in the first few weeks, and how to manage any initial side effects. Ongoing support is a cornerstone of our program.

Eat small, nutrient-dense meals and prioritize protein to support your body's adjustment to the medication

Stay well-hydrated - aim for at least 64 ounces of water daily

Some patients experience mild nausea, reduced appetite, or digestive changes in the first 1-2 weeks - these typically diminish as your body adjusts

Frequently Asked Questions

How does GLP-1 medication work for weight loss?+
GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic a natural hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar. They work by slowing gastric emptying (so you feel full longer), reducing appetite signals in the brain, and improving insulin sensitivity. The result is a natural reduction in caloric intake without the constant hunger associated with traditional dieting.
What are the side effects of GLP-1 medication?+
The most common side effects are mild and temporary: nausea, reduced appetite, and occasional digestive changes (constipation or diarrhea) during the first 1-2 weeks. These typically diminish as your body adjusts and as your dose is gradually titrated. Our slow titration approach minimizes side effects while maximizing effectiveness.
How much weight can I expect to lose on GLP-1 therapy?+
Results vary by individual, but clinical studies show patients typically lose 15-20% of their body weight over 12-18 months. Our physician-supervised program optimizes results through personalized dosing, nutritional guidance, and regular monitoring. The key is consistency - GLP-1 therapy works best as part of a comprehensive lifestyle approach.
Is GLP-1 weight management safe?+
GLP-1 receptor agonists have been extensively studied and are FDA-approved for weight management. Our program includes a thorough medical evaluation before prescribing, regular bloodwork monitoring, and ongoing physician oversight. Certain medical conditions may be contraindications - your provider will review your complete health history during your initial consultation.
Will I gain the weight back if I stop GLP-1 medication?+
Sustainability is a core focus of our program. While some weight regain is possible after discontinuing any weight management medication, our approach includes building sustainable habits alongside the medication. Your provider will work with you to develop a long-term maintenance plan, which may include a gradual tapering protocol and continued lifestyle support.
