Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) medications slow down the rate at which the stomach empties, which decreases feelings of hunger. In addition, GLP-1 medications target areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food cravings. These mechanisms combined aid in weight management by reducing hunger, caloric intake, and blood sugar over time. The FDA approves GLP-1 medications for chronic weight management in adults who are overweight or obese.

Our weight loss program begins with a consultation with our medical provider to verify that you are an appropriate candidate for this medication. Your medication dose will be customized to you. We teach you to self-administer the medication at home to allow you to only see us for follow-up appointments every 3-6 months.

Let us be your partner in your weight loss journey!
