GLP-1 medications such as Wegovy®, Ozempic®, Mounjaro®, and Zepbound® can help support weight loss by reducing appetite, slowing digestion, and decreasing food cravings. These medications are often recommended for individuals with obesity (BMI over 30) or those with a BMI over 27 and weight-related health conditions such as sleep apnea, heart disease, or diabetes.
Success Story: One of our patients, an 18-year-old using Wegovy® along with a healthy low-fat, low-carb diet and regular exercise, lost 38 pounds in just 5–6 months and reports feeling healthier, more energetic, and functioning better in daily life.
For the best results while using GLP-1 medications:
✔ Prioritize protein, vitamins, minerals, and hydration
✔ Perform regular exercise, including strength and resistance training, to preserve muscle mass
✔ Get 7–8 hours of quality sleep each night
✔ Practice stress management
✔ Limit alcohol, stop smoking, and avoid substance abuse
Some patients may experience nausea, heartburn, abdominal discomfort, or constipation. Regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider are important to monitor progress and ensure safe, effective weight loss.
