What a GLP-1 weight loss program is
GLP-1 is a class of medication that affects appetite and blood sugar regulation. In this program it is prescribed and monitored by a doctor as part of a medical weight loss plan. The medication is one part of the plan. The medical intake, the monitoring and the nutritional guidance are the rest. The program is supervised from start to finish, not handed off.
What the program includes here
- • A medical intake and screening with the supervising doctor.
- • The prescription, where appropriate, written by the supervising doctor.
- • The first dose given in the clinic under supervision.
- • Nutritional guidance and supplementation as part of your plan.
- • Chiropractic care where it fits your overall health.
Who is a candidate
The program is for adults with stubborn weight that has not moved with diet and exercise, cravings and blood sugar swings and low energy, a BMI of 27 or higher alongside a related health concern, and previous attempts that did not hold. We state plainly that a medical screening decides it and not a website. The supervising doctor reviews your history and current health before anything is prescribed.
Who is not a candidate
Some health situations require a doctor's review and may rule the program out. Those include certain personal or family medical histories and some current medications. We do not list every category here, because the intake is what decides it. If the screening shows the program is not appropriate for you, we tell you plainly and point you to the right next step.
How the program is monitored
The program is monitored through follow-up visits with the supervising doctor. Your dose is adjusted based on your response and how you are feeling. You are not left on a fixed plan without review. The monitoring is part of the program, and it is how the doctor keeps the care appropriate to you over time.
What it costs
The cost of the program depends on the plan the doctor builds for you after the screening. The program starts at $220 per month. This program is generally not covered by insurance. We tell you the cost before you begin, and CareCredit is available to spread it. See our pricing and insurance page for how we handle cost and billing.
