GLP-1 Injections

Service Description

GLP-1 injections are FDA-approved medications that mimic a natural hormone to regulate appetite, reduce hunger, and support significant weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise. Ideal for adults with a BMI ≥30, or ≥27 with weight-related conditions (type 2 diabetes, hypertension), GLP-1s offer additional benefits such as improved blood sugar control and reduced cardiovascular risk. Administered by licensed providers, this program includes consultation, injection training, and ongoing support. Most patients experience 15–20% body weight reduction over 6–12 months with consistent use and lifestyle changes.
