Weight Loss with GLP-1 agonists or GLP1/GIP dual agonists
GLP-1 agonists or GLP1/GIP dual agonists are now available as glucose lowering therapy for those who suffer from type II diabetes or chronic overweight with difficulty managing through diet and exercise alone. Both medications are administered as weekly injections to control your blood sugar levels by increasing insulin production, lowering the amount of sugar your liver makes and slowing down the rate at which food passes through your body, helping you to feel fuller for a longer period of time. Both require a calorie deficit diet and cardio with muscle-toning exercise.
Available Program Options
We offer several structured program tracks to meet different needs and health profiles. Our GLP-1-based programs use semaglutide or tirzepatide alongside nutritional guidance and regular monitoring for patients who need significant appetite control and metabolic support. For patients seeking hormone-focused weight management, we combine bioidentical hormone replacement therapy with body composition tracking to address weight gain caused by hormonal decline. We also offer peptide-based programs using sermorelin to support natural growth hormone production and improve lean muscle retention. Each program includes a detailed initial assessment, scheduled follow-up appointments, and plan modifications as your body responds to treatment.
Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustments
Weight loss is not linear, and we design our programs to adapt as your body changes. At each follow-up visit, we reassess your body composition, review your progress against your goals, and make adjustments to medications, dosages, or nutritional recommendations as needed. Our clinical team, led by Emile Kettle, PA, tracks trends over time rather than reacting to single weigh-ins. Dr. Jonathan Cheng, M.D., Ph.D., reviews patient charts to ensure all treatment modifications are clinically sound. If side effects arise or progress stalls, we have the flexibility to shift your protocol without starting over. This ongoing supervision is what separates a structured medical program from a one-time prescription.
Frequently Asked Questions About Weight Management Programs
Q: How long do your weight management programs last?
A: Program length depends on your goals and the treatment approach. Most patients participate in an active treatment phase lasting three to six months, followed by a maintenance phase to preserve results. Some patients on GLP-1 medications may continue for a longer period depending on their progress and health needs. We discuss expected timelines during your initial consultation.
Q: What happens if I hit a plateau?
A: Plateaus are a normal part of the weight loss process. When progress slows, we review your current protocol, body composition data, and lifestyle factors to identify what needs to change. This may involve adjusting medication dosages, modifying your nutritional plan, adding supportive therapies like sermorelin or BHRT, or introducing specific exercise recommendations. Our team is experienced at identifying and breaking through stalls.
Q: Can I combine weight management with GLP-1 medications?
A: Yes, GLP-1 medications are one of the primary tools within our weight management programs. Many patients combine GLP-1 therapy with hormone optimization, nutritional coaching, and body composition monitoring for the best results. During your consultation, we determine whether GLP-1 medication is appropriate for you and how it fits into your overall program.
Q: What is included in the program cost?
A: Program costs vary depending on the treatment plan and medications prescribed. Generally, your program includes the initial consultation, body composition assessments, follow-up visits, and clinical oversight. Medications are typically billed separately. We provide a clear cost breakdown before you begin so there are no surprises, and our team can discuss payment options with you.
