GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of medications that are arguably the most effective weight loss medications ever produced. These have been a game-changer for anyone who has struggled to shed fat and extra pounds. They are injected once weekly with a very small needle (doesn’t hurt!).
This amazing compound works by diminishing hunger signals and slowing down digestion, helping you stay full for longer. It also works on the liver & pancreas to better regulate your blood sugar and insulin levels. In studies, semaglutide has been found to reduce the incidence of heart and kidney disease.
The most effective weight loss medication yet, due to its action on two hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) that are involved in food metabolism and fat production. The only downside is tirzepatide is more expensive than its cousin, semaglutide.
GLP-1 medication pricing depends on the dose. We’ll start at the lowest dose to allow your body to get used to the effects of the medication, then go up gradually as needed. You do not have to increase your dose and can stay on a lower dose if you prefer. People respond differently to these medications. Some people only need a small dose, and some will need a larger dose to lose significant weight.
Medication pricing includes ongoing support and monitoring of your response to the medication, direct access to your provider with any questions or concerns, as well as any follow-up visits that may be needed. Initial consultation and exam is $99.
Get 25% off the cost of medications while enrolled in the 12-Week Weight Loss Jumpstart! Medications can also be purchased separately.
You will need to get basic lab work done within your first month of starting a GLP-1 medication, unless you’ve had labs done within the past year (CMP, HbA1c, TSH, minimally).
Our Weight Loss Lab Panel (including CBC, CMP, cholesterol panel, thyroid panel, hemoglobin A1c, and fasting insulin) is $100 out-of-pocket, or you can use your insurance.
