GLP-1 medications work by regulating appetite to reduce food intake. Studies have demonstrated their potential to achieve weight reductions of up to 20% in individuals who take them for a year or longer, in conjunction with healthy lifestyle choices*.

Weight loss is not solely reliant on willpower, as biological factors affecting metabolism, hunger, and weight can be beyond your control.

GLP-1s promote a prolonged feeling of fullness, help control food cravings, and enhance the body’s ability to process sugars more efficiently (source). Consequently, these medications are often prescribed for managing type 2 diabetes or obesity.

In chronic weight management, GLP-1 medications are sometimes utilized alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. They are also employed in patients with diabetes to assist in blood sugar management.

Examples of GLP-1 medications include:

Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and Liraglutide.

During your initial consultation, your provider will evaluate your health requirements to determine the suitability of medication for you. They will also address any inquiries you may have regarding GLP-1 medications.

*Note: It is always important to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized medical advice and treatment options.

When booking on our website, you will be redirected to Vagaro (our electronic health record site which is HIPAA compliant), the platform used by our medical providers. From there, you will schedule your appointment with your healthcare provider, enter your basic information (e.g., Name, email, phone number). After entering this information you will be prompted to complete your full medical history. Note: it is important to complete this medical history form prior to your appointment so that your healthcare provider can review your chart before your appointment. During your first appointment, your provider will discuss your health goals, review your medical history, order any necessary lab tests and may order a prescription medication if deemed appropriate. Your provider will collaborate with you to create a personalized health plan. Alongside lifestyle recommendations, your care plan may include a prescription for weight loss medication. Upon starting a weight loss medication, you will have monthly check-ins with your provider either in person or via telehealth. During these check-ins, the provider will evaluate your progress in weight loss, monitor your medication tolerance, arrange follow-up lab tests or prescription refills, and adjust your care plan as necessary

While prescriptions for weight loss medication cannot be guaranteed for every patient, if you are 18 years of age or older and meet specific criteria such as being overweight (BMI > 25), obese (BMI > 30), or requiring medication to maintain a normal weight after previous obesity medication/surgery, your healthcare provider may consider you eligible for a prescription.

In short, no. At present, insurance coverage does not include virtual or in-person visits for our program. That being said, certain insurance plans might offer coverage for other expenses associated with medical weight loss treatment, such as lab testing. When filling your prescription at your pharmacy of choice, do understand that the majority of weight loss medications are not commonly covered by most health insurances. We recommend contacting your own insurance company to see which weight loss medications are covered by your plan. Most of our patients pay out-of-pocket at pharmacies for their medication, or opt to pay up-front for compounded medication delivered directly to their home.
