Personalized Plan & Prescription
Following your consultation, we create a tailored weight loss plan just for you. No two bodies are the same, so your plan will be unique to your needs. Key elements of this phase include:
- Medical Clearance & Prescription: If you’re a candidate, our licensed provider will prescribe an FDA-approved GLP-1 weight loss medication such as semaglutide. This medication (famous as the active ingredient in Ozempic® and Wegovy®) helps control appetite and cravings by mimicking a natural hormone in your body. The prescription is sent to a partner pharmacy, and your medication will be delivered directly to you – no extra pharmacy trips needed.
- Personalized Dosing Schedule: We start at a dose that’s right for you and adjust gradually over the coming weeks. This personalized dosing ensures steady, healthy progress while minimizing side effects. Your provider will determine the optimal starting dose and schedule increases as your body adapts. This careful titration makes the journey comfortable and safe, avoiding the “one-size-fits-all” approach.
- Medication Education: Before you begin, we take time to teach you exactly how to use your medication. You’ll receive clear instructions (and a demonstration if needed) on how to perform the weekly injections at home. Don’t worry – the needle is very small and most patients find the shots easy and virtually painless. We’ll also explain how the medication works in your body (for example, slowing digestion and reducing hunger signals) and what common effects to expect as you begin therapy.
- Addressing Questions & Concerns: We encourage you to ask any questions. Whether you’re curious about how GLP-1s help with weight loss or concerned about potential side effects, our medical team is here to provide answers. Common side effects like mild nausea are typically temporary; we’ll give you tips to minimize them and will adjust your plan if needed to keep you comfortable.
By the end of this phase, you’ll have your prescription in hand (or on its way to your doorstep) and a clear understanding of how to proceed. Your weight loss journey is officially underway – with medical science on your side and full support from our team.
