GLP-1s are groundbreaking for making food cravings manageable and boosting energy. They can positively affect your brain to promote weight loss.
GLP-1 medications work on your body’s own receptors to decrease appetite and increase satiety.
Lifestyle intervention combined with GLP-1 medications is the most effective approach for sustained weight loss and improved metabolic health.
GLP-1s work on key underlying metabolic pathways to support sustained weight loss.

New to Treatment Regimen
Our compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide treatments are started at a low dose and titrated upward under physician supervision. This helps to minimize side effects and maximize efficacy. Typical dosage titration is every 4 weeks.
High Dose Titration
As your body adapts to the medication, the weekly dosing is titrated upward. We recommend increasing strength in individualized intervals. These high dosages are typically reached in 5-6 months.
Weight loss Maintenance
Congrats, you've reached your weight loss goal. Let's keep you there with a personalized regimen. No two people are the same. Our physician led team will find the best strength and interval for you.
