Unlike many earlier approaches to prescription weight management, GLP-1 medications work by activating receptors involved in appetite regulation. These medications may help reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness, which can support weight loss in appropriate patients when used as part of a medically supervised treatment plan
Step One First fill out our intake form and give us a little information about your situation (your height weight and general health). Our medical professionals will look over the results to see if you are a good candidate for GLP=1's.
Step Two If necessary one of our on-staff doctors will call and discuss your situation. This will ensure that you are well prepared to achieve the best results
Step Three You will be issued a prescription and the medication will be mailed to you via USPS.
Step Four You will administer the medication in the privacy and comfort of your own home. The medication also comes with a diet and exercise program that will help you maximize your results while minimizing the time it takes to see them.
There is so much information in the media at the moment about GLP-1's we want to take a moment to answer some common questions about the treatments. Just click on the question below to see the answer provided by Dr. Nelson.
Individual results vary. Some patients may notice changes in appetite or weight during the first several weeks of treatment, while others may take longer to respond. When appropriate, a healthcare provider may gradually adjust the dose over time based on the specific medication, the patient's response, and tolerability. The amount and timing of weight loss vary from person to person.
GLP-1 medications are not appropriate for everyone, and contraindications and precautions differ among specific medications. Certain GLP-1 medications should not be used during pregnancy or by people with particular medical or family histories, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
Other conditions—including a history of pancreatitis, certain gastrointestinal conditions, diabetes, diabetic retinopathy, or other significant medical conditions—may require additional evaluation or monitoring. Your healthcare provider will review your medical history and determine whether a particular GLP-1 medication is appropriate for you.
GLP-1 medications act on receptors involved in appetite, food intake, and blood-sugar regulation. Depending on the specific medication, treatment may help reduce appetite, increase feelings of fullness, and slow the rate at which food leaves the stomach. Together with appropriate diet and lifestyle measures, these effects can support weight management in eligible patients.
