How it works
GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide and tirzepatide work with the hormones that regulate hunger, fullness, and how your body stores fat. They do not depend on willpower alone.
They mimic a hormone your body naturally produces after eating. That hormone signals your brain that you are full, slows digestion so food moves through your system more gradually, and reduces food cravings.
The goal is not a number on a scale. It is a body that feels like yours again, with energy, confidence, and health to match.
Who it is for
A provider consultation is required to confirm candidacy. GLP-1 medications are generally appropriate for adults with:
- A BMI of 30 or higher
- A BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related health condition, such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol
These medications are not appropriate for everyone. People with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN2 syndrome, a history of pancreatitis, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not use GLP-1 agonists. Your provider will review your full history before prescribing.
What to expect
Here is the program from start to finish.
Initial consultation and health assessment
We review your health history, current medications, metabolic markers, and weight loss goals. This visit determines candidacy, guides medication selection, and sets your starting dose.
Medication and injection training
Your medication is prescribed and pharmacy-sourced. We walk you through self-injection technique. Most patients find it straightforward within the first week.
Dose titration over time
We start at a low dose and increase gradually on a schedule designed around your body's response. Slow titration is key to minimizing nausea and other GI side effects.
Regular provider check-ins
Scheduled follow-ups let us track your progress, adjust dosing as needed, address any side effects, and give nutrition and lifestyle guidance.
Maintenance and long-term planning
When you reach your goal, we work with you on a maintenance strategy. We help you build the habits and, if appropriate, the ongoing support to keep your results.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide
Both are injectable medications given once weekly. Your provider will recommend one based on your health history, goals, and how your body responds over time.
- SemaglutideA GLP-1 receptor agonist. It targets the GLP-1 receptor to reduce appetite, slow digestion, and improve blood sugar regulation.
- TirzepatideA dual agonist. It activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors.

Common questions
How quickly will I see results?
Most patients notice reduced appetite within the first 1 to 2 weeks. Weight loss, typically 2 to 4 lbs per month at starting doses, becomes apparent within the first 4 to 8 weeks. Results accelerate as doses are titrated upward over the first 3 to 6 months.
What are the most common side effects?
Nausea, mild digestive changes, and reduced appetite are the most frequently reported effects, particularly during dose increases. These typically resolve within a few days. Our slow titration protocol is designed to minimize them, and your provider can guide you through them if they occur.
Do I have to change my diet or exercise?
The medication works best when supported by healthy habits. For most patients it becomes easier to make those changes because hunger and cravings are reduced. We provide nutrition and lifestyle guidance throughout your program, and we meet you where you are.
What happens if I stop taking the medication?
Appetite typically returns as the medication leaves your system. This is why we emphasize building sustainable habits during your program. For some patients, long-term maintenance on a lower dose is part of the plan. We discuss this openly as part of your ongoing care.
Is it covered by insurance?
GLP-1 medications are generally not covered by insurance for weight loss. We walk you through everything before you commit.
