ABOUT MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS
the most popular weight-loss medication is an injectable drug that mimics the function of the (GLP-1) hormone, which regulates appetite within the brain. The process suppresses appetite and results in other benefits, such as reduced blood sugar by limiting sugar production in the liver, as well as increased anti-inflammation and cardiovascular health.

Weight-loss medication, the GLP-1 receptor agonist, is an FDA-approved injectable treatment for chronic weight loss programs.
BENEFITS OF WEIGHT-LOSS MEDICATION
It can be difficult to reduce unwanted fat through traditional diet and exercise. Our medical weight-loss treatment provides an additional 15 to 20 percent reduction in body weight in comparison to a 2 to 3 percent reduction in body weight when using traditional diet and exercise alone. Our medication slows gastric processes/emptying and reduces appetite. As a result, individuals tend to eat less since it staggers the release of glucose from digested food, which drives a more robust weight loss.
Our patients love weight-loss medication because:
- Sustained reduction in body weight
- Reduces hunger and craving
- Regulates blood sugar levels.
- Is effective for most body types
