GLP-1 Medications

A medically guided weight management treatment that may assist with appetite regulation and support weight management as part of a personalized plan. Results vary by individual.

Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are prescribed only when a licensed provider determines that a compounded formulation is medically necessary for an individual patient. Medications are compounded and dispensed by a state-licensed pharmacy pursuant to a valid prescription.

A Smarter, More Personalized Approach
to Weight Loss

For many people, weight loss isn’t just about willpower. Factors like metabolism, hormones, and appetite regulation can make it difficult to lose weight and keep it off, even with regular exercise and healthy eating. You may find yourself constantly battling hunger, struggling with cravings, or feeling like your progress stalls despite doing everything “right.” Biological factors can influence appetite, metabolism, and weight, making traditional approaches harder to sustain.

At Renew Health & Wellness, compounded GLP-1s may be considered as part of a medically guided weight management plan following an individual evaluation. For appropriate patients, GLP-1s may help regulate appetite and promote satiety as part of a broader plan that may include nutrition, physical activity, and lifestyle support. Treatment recommendations are personalized to your health needs and goals, and results vary by individual.

What Are GLP-1 Medications?

GLP-1s are medications that affect pathways involved in appetite regulation and blood sugar control. For appropriate patients, they may:

  • Help reduce feelings of hunger
  • Slow gastric emptying, which may help you feel full longer
  • Support portion control
  • Assist with weight management as part of a medically supervised plan

GLP-1s may be considered alongside nutrition, physical activity, and other lifestyle strategies as part of an individualized approach to weight management.

How GLP-1s Work

Compounded GLP-1 medications act on GLP-1 receptors involved in appetite and digestion. This may influence feelings of fullness and slow the rate at which food leaves the stomach.

These effects may help some patients reduce food intake as part of a weight management plan. Because they work with your body’s natural processes, GLP-1s may support sustainable weight management.

Potential Benefits of GLP-1s:

  • Appetite regulation: GLP-1s may help regulate hunger signals and support reduced food intake for some patients.
  • Weight management support: Treatment may assist with gradual weight management when combined with appropriate nutrition, activity, and medical guidance.
  • Portion control: By slowing gastric emptying, GLP-1s may help some patients feel full longer after meals.
  • Metabolic support: GLP-1s affect pathways involved in blood sugar regulation and appetite control.
  • Medically guided treatment: Your provider monitors your response and may adjust your treatment plan based on your individual needs.
  • Supports healthy habits: GLP-1s may be incorporated into a broader plan that includes nutrition, physical activity, and other habits that support long-term weight management.

FAQ

Compounded GLP-1 medications may be considered as part of a personalized medical weight management plan. They affect pathways involved in appetite regulation and may assist with weight management for appropriate patients.

Results vary by individual, and there is no specific amount of weight loss that can be predicted. Your response may depend on factors such as your health, treatment plan, nutrition, activity level, and other lifestyle habits.

There is no single timeline for results. Individual responses vary, and your provider will monitor your progress throughout treatment and make adjustments when medically appropriate.

GLP-1 medications are not appropriate for everyone. A licensed provider will review your health history, potential risks, and other relevant factors to determine whether treatment may be appropriate for you and will monitor your response during care.

Treatment duration varies based on your individual needs, response to treatment, goals, and medical considerations. Your provider will guide you on how long treatment may be appropriate and discuss ongoing weight management as your needs change.

GLP-1s may be considered for certain individuals who have had difficulty managing their weight through lifestyle changes alone. A medical evaluation is necessary to determine whether compounded GLP-1s are appropriate for your individual health needs.
