Medication Options
Recent advances in weight loss medications have been game-changing for many patients. GLP-1 medications work by mimicking hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar, leading to significant, sustainable weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes.
GLP-1 Receptor Agonists
Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound
These medications work by reducing appetite, slowing digestion, and improving how your body handles blood sugar. Many patients see significant weight loss results.

Common Questions
Who is a candidate for GLP-1 medications?
GLP-1 medications are typically appropriate for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with weight-related health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea. We evaluate each patient individually to determine if these medications are right for you.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Results vary, but clinical studies show average weight loss of 15-20% of body weight with GLP-1 medications combined with lifestyle changes. Some patients achieve even greater results. We set realistic, personalized goals based on your situation.
Are there side effects from weight loss medications?
The most common side effects of GLP-1 medications are gastrointestinal: nausea, reduced appetite, and occasional digestive upset. These typically improve over time. We start with low doses and increase gradually to minimize side effects.
Will I regain weight if I stop the medication?
Research shows that weight can return if medication is stopped without maintaining lifestyle changes. That's why we focus on building sustainable habits alongside medication, and discuss long-term strategies for maintaining your results.
Does insurance cover weight loss medications?
Coverage varies by plan. Some insurers cover GLP-1 medications for diabetes, and increasingly for weight management. We can help you navigate coverage options and discuss alternatives if cost is a barrier.
