How a GLP-1 treatment can help you
More than just a weight loss treatment, a life-changing path to live your life, in your terms
Regulates your appetite
GLP-1 works by mimicking a natural hormone your body already produces (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1), which plays a role in regulating appetite and food intake.
Reduces food cravings
By slowing down the rate at which food leaves the stomach, GLP-1s help promote longer-lasting feelings of fullness.
Supported by your care team
Your treatment plan is prescribed and adjusted by a licensed medical provider, with ongoing check-ins so you’re never doing this alone.

Everything you need to learn about weight loss
We have created a guide for you to get started with your GLP-1 weight loss treatment
How do I know if I qualify?
Fill out our short intake form and our clinical team will review your information.
In general, you may qualify if your BMI is 30 or above, or 27 or above with a weight-related health condition.
Medical history, current medications, and other individual factors are also considered.
How quickly will I see results?
Most patients begin to notice a reduction in appetite within the first 1–2 weeks. Visible weight loss typically follows within the first month.
Results vary based on starting weight, dosage, and how consistently nutrition and lifestyle habits are followed alongside treatment.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
GLP-1 medications are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Do I have to inject myself?
Not necessarily.
All injections are administered by our clinical staff at your weekly in-office appointment. You don’t need to learn to self-inject — that’s one of the core advantages of our in-clinic model.
If you have experience self-injecting and feel more comfortable doing so, you can self-inject at the privacy of your home by purchasing a monthly supply (vial, available only if prescription is approved)
Will I lose muscle, not just fat?
Muscle loss is a real risk with rapid weight loss on any protocol, but it is largely preventable.
Prioritizing protein intake and incorporating strength training throughout your treatment are the two most effective defenses.
Our team will guide you on both from day one.
What happens if I experience side effects?
Most side effects are mild and temporary. If you experience nausea, constipation, or fatigue, there are practical dietary and lifestyle strategies that help significantly.
Because you visit us weekly, our team can catch and address side effects early — adjusting your dose or providing additional support before they become a barrier to continuing treatment.
How long will I need to be on the medication?
This varies by patient and goals. Some patients stay on a maintenance dose long-term; others work toward safely tapering off once weight and health goals are achieved.
We discuss long-term planning with every patient as part of the ongoing treatment relationship.
Can I drink alcohol while on a GLP-1?
Many patients notice a reduced tolerance for alcohol while on GLP-1 medications — even small amounts may worsen nausea, reflux, and dehydration.
Limiting or avoiding alcohol is advisable, particularly during the early weeks of treatment or after a dose increase.
Will I regain weight if I stop?
Weight regain is possible if no sustainable habits are built during treatment.
This is exactly why we emphasize nutrition and movement from the very beginning — patients who build strong habits during treatment are far better positioned to maintain their results over time, with or without medication.

Can I stop if I reach my goal weight?
Only stop or change treatment under medical supervision. Stopping suddenly may lead to weight regain or rising blood sugar.
