GLP-1 works by reducing hunger and helping you feel full faster. It regulates your appetite, making it easier to manage your weight even while on medications that may contribute to weight gain.
Yes, our program is designed specifically for patients who are on psychiatric medications. We provide close monitoring and work alongside your existing mental health treatment to ensure that your overall well-being is prioritized.
Results can vary, but many patients begin to see noticeable weight loss within a few weeks of starting or treatment. Consistent use, along with guidance from our medical team, will help you achieve your goals.
While our Weight Loss Program helps with weight loss, incorporating healthy eating habits, diet and regular physical activity will enhance your results.
GLP-1 is a medication originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes, but it has shown to be effective for weight loss as well. It works by mimicking a hormone (GLP-1) that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation, helping individuals feel fuller for longer and reducing overall calorie intake.
Weight loss results can vary, but studies have shown that patients may lose between 10-15% of their body weight over several months when using GLP-1, alongside diet and lifestyle modifications. Your results will depend on your starting weight, diet, and exercise.
GLP-1 is typically administered once a week as a subcutaneous injection. Your provider will determine the appropriate dose for you, and the dose will be adjusted over time.
