What is GLP-1\GIP?

GLP-1/GIP therapy is a once-weekly injectable treatment designed to support weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity, including those with related health concerns such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or cardiovascular risk factors. It works by activating both GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptors. This dual action helps regulate appetite, improve metabolism, and support steady, sustainable weight loss by reducing hunger signals and enhancing your body’s natural ability to manage blood sugar.

How does GLP-1\GIP Support Weight Loss?

  • Reduces appetite – Helps you feel full faster and stay satisfied longer.

  • Curbs cravings – Limits signals that trigger overeating or snacking.

  • Supports metabolism – Works with your body to manage blood sugar and fat regulation.

  • Promotes steady weight loss – Encourages gradual, sustainable results rather than quick fixes.

  • Enhances energy balance – Helps stabilize energy levels throughout the day..

How is it Administered?

  • GLP-1\GIP therapy is delivered as a once-weekly injection by our trained providers.

  • Injections are given just under the skin, usually in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.

  • The process is quick, comfortable, and designed to make getting started easy and stress-free.
