Evidence-Based Science

GLP-1 Receptor Agonists

Our weight loss medications work by mimicking GLP-1, a naturally occurring hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar. This leads to reduced hunger, better portion control, and improved metabolic health.

Appetite Regulation

Reduces hunger signals and increases feelings of fullness after meals.

Blood Sugar Control

Improves insulin sensitivity and helps stabilize blood glucose levels.

Metabolic Benefits

Supports fat loss while preserving lean muscle mass.

Cardiovascular Health

May improve cholesterol levels and reduce cardiovascular risk factors.

Weight Loss Questions

Common Questions

You'll work with a registered dietitian to develop a balanced, sustainable eating plan. No extreme diets - we focus on healthy, maintainable lifestyle changes.

What are the side effects of weight loss injections?+

Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and constipation, especially when starting treatment. These usually improve as your body adjusts to the medication.

How long do I need to stay on the medication?+
