How GLP-1 Injections Help You Lose Weight

GLP-1 medications work by:

• Suppressing appetite and reducing cravings
• Slowing digestion for longer-lasting fullness
• Better blood sugar and insulin sensitivity
• Supporting steady, healthy weight loss

Clinical studies show that patients using GLP-1 medications, combined with a healthy lifestyle, can lose 15–20% of their body weight.

Who Should Consider GLP-1 Prescription Therapy?

GLP-1 therapy is ideal for:

• Adults with a BMI of 30 or higher (obesity)
• Adults presenting with a body mass index of 27 or greater in conjunction with weight-related comorbidities, including hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, or prediabetes
• Patients managing type 2 diabetes who need additional weight or blood sugar control
• Individuals living with PCOS or metabolic syndrome.

Coverage is available through most major insurance plans, including:

• GEHA Insurance
• Blue Cross Blue Shield (BC/BS)
• Aetna Health Insurance
• UnitedHealthcare
• Medicare Plans

• Mild nausea or upset stomach
• Constipation or diarrhea
• Occasional fatigue or bloating

Our providers will work closely with you to monitor any side effects and adjust your treatment as needed for maximum success and comfort.
