GLP-1 (and GIP) receptor agonists mimic hormones your body naturally produces after eating. They signal fullness to your brain, slow gastric emptying, and improve insulin sensitivity. The result: you eat less without feeling deprived, your body processes sugar more efficiently, and your metabolic set point shifts downward.

Generally, candidates have a BMI of 30+ (or 27+ with a weight-related condition like high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, or high cholesterol). Your provider will review your full health history during consultation. If you're not a candidate for GLP-1s, we'll recommend an alternative protocol.

COMPOUND works with licensed US compounding pharmacies that meet all state and federal requirements. When FDA-approved brand-name medications are appropriate and available, your provider can prescribe those instead. We always prioritize safety and compliance — your provider will explain your specific options during consultation.

GLP-1 medications work best as part of a sustained lifestyle shift. Our protocols include nutrition guidance and exercise recommendations specifically to help you maintain results. Some patients do taper off medication successfully after reaching their goal weight — your provider will build a long-term plan with you.

The most common side effects are GI-related: nausea, mild stomach discomfort, and reduced appetite (which is part of how the medication works). These typically improve within 2–4 weeks as your body adjusts. We include anti-nausea medication at no extra cost, and your provider titrates your dose gradually to minimize side effects.

Absolutely — this is one of our most popular combinations. Low testosterone contributes to weight gain (especially visceral fat), and excess body fat converts testosterone to estrogen. Addressing both simultaneously often produces dramatically better results than treating either alone. Your provider can build a combined protocol.
