GLP-1 Weight Loss Program: Questions & Answers

Q: What are GLP-1 medications?

GLP-1 medications (such as semaglutide) are prescription treatments that help regulate appetite, slow digestion, and improve blood sugar control. For many people, this leads to reduced hunger, fewer cravings, and steady, sustainable weight loss when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.

Q: How do GLP-1s help with weight loss?

These medications work with your body’s natural hunger hormones. Most clients notice they feel full sooner, stay satisfied longer, and think less about food throughout the day. This makes it easier to follow a nutrition plan without feeling deprived.

Q: Do I still need to exercise and eat healthy?

Yes — and that’s where we come in. Medication is a tool, not a replacement for lifestyle habits. Our program includes training, nutrition guidance, and accountability to help you lose body fat while maintaining strength, energy, and muscle.

Q: Am I a candidate for GLP-1 medication?

Eligibility is determined by our licensed medical providers based on your health history, goals, and current conditions. Not everyone qualifies, which is why medical screening and supervision are essential for safety and effectiveness.

Q: What kind of results can I expect?

Results vary, but many clients experience gradual, consistent weight loss over several months. The biggest success comes from combining medication with strength training, adequate protein intake, hydration, and sleep — all areas we support you with.

Q: Are there side effects?

Some people experience mild side effects when starting, such as nausea, constipation, fatigue, or feeling overly full. These often improve as your body adjusts. Our medical team monitors your progress and helps manage any symptoms.

Q: Will I lose muscle while losing weight?

Weight loss without strength training can lead to muscle loss — which is why resistance training and proper protein intake are key parts of our program. We focus on helping you lose fat while staying strong and metabolically healthy.

Q: How long will I need to stay on the medication?

This depends on your goals, progress, and how your body responds. Some people use GLP-1s short term to help reset habits, while others stay on longer under medical supervision. Your plan is individualized and reviewed regularly.

Q: What happens if I stop taking it?

Without supportive habits in place, appetite can return and weight regain is possible. That’s why our program emphasizes behavior change, strength training, and nutrition strategies so your results are more sustainable long term.

Q: How is the medication taken — do I have to give myself a shot?

Yes, most GLP-1 medications are self-administered as a small injection just under the skin, typically once per week. The needles are very small, and most clients say it’s much easier and more comfortable than they expected.

Our medical team will teach you exactly how to do the injection safely and confidently, including where to inject, how to rotate sites, and how to properly store and dispose of supplies. You’ll have guidance and support every step of the way so you never feel unsure.

Q: Will I have access to a medical practitioner during the program?

Yes. Your care is overseen by licensed medical professionals who review your health history, determine eligibility, prescribe medication when appropriate, and monitor your progress. You’ll have medical support throughout your journey to ensure your plan is safe, effective, and adjusted as your needs change.

Q: How do I get started?

The first step is a medical consultation and program assessment. From there, we build a personalized plan that may include GLP-1 medication, strength training, nutrition coaching, and ongoing accountability.
