Revolutionary Non-Surgical Weight Loss

GLP-1 injections are an injectable prescription medication designed for adults who are dealing with obesity or persistent excess weight and related health issues.

It works by mimicking a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which targets brain areas that regulate appetite and food intake.

This makes GLP-1 injections a highly effective, non-surgical option for long-term weight management, especially when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Your Personalized Consultation

During your first visit, you’ll meet with a provider who will review your health history, current weight, and weight loss goals. They will also assess your BMI, order necessary lab tests, and create a customized weight loss plan tailored to your needs.

Detailed Medication Overview

Your weight loss specialist will explain how to use GLP-1 injections, demonstrating the proper injection technique so you can administer the medication at home confidently.

Developing a Customized Plan

We work closely with our clients to develop a medication plan that aligns with their current weight and goals. At this point, we’ll answer any questions and place your initial medication order.

Tracking Your Progress

Most clients begin to see significant results within four weeks of starting GLP-1 injections, with full effects developing over the next several months. We will meet with you monthly, either in person or via telehealth, to review your progress, answer any questions, and reorder your medication.
