Weight & Metabolic Health
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do GLP-1 medications help with weight loss?
GLP-1s work by improving how your body regulates blood sugar, hunger, and fullness. They help reduce appetite, stabilize cravings, and support healthier metabolic function making weight loss more achievable and sustainable.
2. How do I know if I’m a good candidate for GLP-1s?
We look at your medical history, symptoms, current weight, and a full lab panel. GLP-1s may be a good option if you're struggling with appetite control, blood sugar balance, or metabolic slowdown.
3. What results can I expect?
Most patients see steady, meaningful weight loss over several months, along with improvements in energy, cravings, sleep, and overall metabolic health. Results vary based on dose, lifestyle, and consistency.
4. Are there side effects?
Some people experience mild nausea, bloating, or changes in digestion when starting or increasing the dose. We start you on a low dose and slowly increase to avoid significant side effects. We monitor you closely and adjust your plan as needed.
5. I’m not interested in GLP-1s. Are there other options?
Of course! GLP-1s aren’t right for everyone. After a full panel of labs is drawn then we can determine if there are underlying issues that we should address. There are also supplements, vitamins, and peptides that can help naturally address weight and metabolic issues.
6. Do I have to stay on GLP-1s forever?
Not necessarily. Our goal is to help you build sustainable habits, support your metabolism, and eventually maintain results with or without medication. We personalize a long-term plan that fits your goals.
