Weight Loss

Weight loss can seem unattainable for many, sometimes diet and exercise just aren’t enough to see the desired results.    We can use injectable weight-loss medications such as GIP/GLP-1 agonists. 

The medication is started at a low dose and titrated up as tolerated and needed. Our weight loss plan includes the initial assessment, lab review, and discussion about the medications that might be right for you!   

The active ingredient in GIP and GLP-1 agonists works by activating “two naturally produced hormones in the body”: glucagon-like peptide-1, known as GLP-1, and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, or GIP. Both the single or combination versions of this medication slow the emptying of the stomach, making people feel full longer, and suppress appetite by slowing hunger signals in the brain.
