MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS
(GLP-1 / Peptide Therapy)
ABOUT YOUR TREATMENT
GLP-1 medications and peptide-based weight loss therapies work by regulating appetite, slowing gastric emptying, stabilizing blood sugar levels, and supporting metabolic balance.
These medications are part of a medically supervised weight management program and are most effective when combined with:
- • Adequate protein intake
- • Strength training
- • Hydration
- • Lifestyle modifications
Results develop gradually over weeks to months.
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
- • Eat a light meal prior to injection
- • Hydrate well
- • Avoid excessive alcohol
- • Inform us of any history of pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, thyroid cancer, or endocrine disorders
- • Notify us of all medications and supplements
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER STARTING TREATMENT
Common temporary side effects may include:
- • Nausea
