GLP-1, A New Generation of Weight Loss Medications
​

With the recent advent of GLP-1 medications such as Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wgovy/Rybelsus) or Tirzepatide (Monjaro/Zepbound) we have reached a new breakthrough in weight loss treatments.  They are safe, effective, and can help reverse fatty liver disease, diabetes, high cholesterol effectively reducing your risk of heart attacks and stroke over time.  They are also more effective for weight loss then any other medication.

 

However, these medications need to be paired with important interventions to maximize your metabolic rate and prevent weight rebound after stopping.

​

For those of us that feel they need an upper edge on their weight loss or feel defeated after trying other unsuccessful interventions this can be just the right tool for the right person.

​

Additionally, Semaglutide can be obtained for as little as $189 per month if not covered by insurance.​​​​​​​
