How it works
Start low, step up slowly
GLP-1 medications act like a hormone your gut releases after a meal. Many people feel full sooner and think about food less. The dose starts low and steps up so your body can adjust.
Your consultation
Your provider reviews your health history and goals, and checks whether medication is a safe fit for you. It's free.
Your starting dose
You start on the lowest dose. Nausea is common early in each step, and it usually eases as your body adjusts.
Stepping up
Your dose goes up no faster than every four weeks, with a check-in at each step, until you reach the dose that works for you.
Staying on track
In the clinical trials, most of the change happened in the first year. Your provider keeps adjusting the plan with you.
