The outfit is good. You’d like to feel good under it, too. Explore GLP-1 medications with a licensed clinician who looks at your health history, your habits, and your goals, not just the number on the scale.
YOUR OPTIONS
GLP-1 medications mimic a hormone your gut releases after eating. They can quiet appetite and help you feel full sooner. A clinician decides which, if any, fits your health and history.

LET’S TALK ABOUT IT
It varies widely from person to person. In clinical trials, people taking these medications alongside changes to eating and activity lost more weight on average than people taking a placebo. Results depend on the medication, the dose, and how long you take it. Your clinician can talk through realistic expectations for you.
Weight management with GLP-1 medications is generally long term. In studies, many people regained weight after stopping. Your clinician can walk you through what continuing, adjusting, or stopping would look like.
Compounded versions are not FDA-approved, and FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness, or quality. Now that FDA considers the shortages of the approved products resolved, it has said compounding of these drugs is limited to specific circumstances. If a compounded medication is ever considered for you, your clinician should explain why, and what is uncertain.
Zepbound is injected under the skin once a week. Wegovy comes as a once-weekly injection or, for adults, a daily tablet. Your care team will show you how. The dose usually starts low and increases over several weeks to help your body adjust.
