Weight Loss

GLP-1 inhibitors, such as Ozempic and Wegovy, are a class of medications originally developed to manage Type 2 diabetes but have now shown significant benefits in aiding weight loss. These medications mimic a natural hormone in your body called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which plays a crucial role in regulating appetite, food intake, and insulin production.

When used for weight loss, GLP-1 inhibitors help individuals by:

• Reducing appetite: They help you feel fuller for longer, which can make it easier to eat less and reduce overall calorie intake.
• Slowing gastric emptying: This results in longer-lasting fullness after meals and helps prevent overeating.
• Improving insulin sensitivity: By improving insulin function, these medications can also assist in better blood sugar control, which is especially important for individuals with Type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance.

The result? Steady, sustainable weight loss without the drastic cravings or intense hunger that often comes with traditional dieting methods.

While GLP-1 inhibitors are highly effective for many individuals, not everyone is the right fit for this treatment. Ideal candidates for Ozempic, Wegovy, or other GLP-1 medications typically include:

• Adults with a BMI of 30 or higher (obesity) or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related health condition, such as high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.
• Individuals struggling with weight loss despite previous attempts with diet and exercise.
• Those who have been unsuccessful with other weight loss treatments and are looking for a medically supported solution to help achieve sustainable weight loss.

Our experienced healthcare team at Reza Health will evaluate your medical history and health needs to determine if GLP-1 inhibitors are the right option for you.

• Sustained weight loss: Studies have shown that individuals using GLP-1 medications can lose up to 10-15% of their body weight over time, which can significantly improve overall health.
• Improved metabolic health: These medications not only help with weight loss but can also improve blood sugar levels, cholesterol, and blood pressure, all of which can reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, and other chronic conditions.
• Better quality of life: Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight can have a profound impact on your physical and mental well-being. Many individuals experience improved energy levels, better sleep, and greater mobility.
• Support for long-term health goals: GLP-1 medications are part of a holistic weight loss strategy, which includes counseling, dietary guidance, and lifestyle modifications to ensure you maintain your progress over the long term.

• Consultation: The first step is to schedule a consultation with one of our providers at Reza Health. During this visit, we will assess your health status, weight loss goals, and determine if GLP -1 inhibitors are the right option for you. We’ll also discuss your medical history and any other medications you’re taking.
• Starting Treatment: If you are a good candidate for Ozempic, Wegovy, or another GLP-1 medication, your provider will explain the proper way to administer the injection and guide you through the process. Treatment typically involves a weekly injection, and we provide support to make sure you feel comfortable with the process.
• Ongoing Monitoring: We’ll schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, track your weight loss, and assess any side effects. Our team will also provide ongoing support, adjust your treatment plan if necessary, and make sure you stay on track to meet your health goals.
• Lifestyle Support: Weight loss is not just about medication. We will work with you to create a personalized nutrition and exercise plan that aligns with your weight loss goals. Our holistic approach ensures that you’re not just losing weight, but also improving your overall health and wellness.
