How long does it take to see results from GLP-1 medications?

Most patients begin to notice weight loss within a few weeks, with more significant changes after three to six months. Individual results may vary based on lifestyle factors and adherence to the program.

Can I lose weight without medication?

Yes! At The NP Xperience, we offer non-medication weight loss options that focus on holistic health. Our functional medicine approach addresses the root causes of weight gain, such as gut health, hormone imbalances, and inflammation.

What is an elimination diet?

An elimination diet is a method used to identify food sensitivities by removing certain foods from your diet and gradually reintroducing them. This process helps pinpoint any dietary triggers that could be contributing to weight gain or poor health.

How do I know which weight loss option is right for me?

During your initial consultation, we’ll conduct a thorough assessment of your health history, goals, and preferences. Based on that, we will recommend either a GLP-1 medication plan or a functional health approach tailored to your unique needs.

What Are GLP-1 Medications for Weight Loss?

GLP-1 receptor agonists are medications that were originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes by helping regulate blood sugar and appetite. They have also proven highly effective for weight loss. Some commonly prescribed GLP-1 medications include Wegovy, Ozempic, and Zepbound. Here's how they work:

Slowing gastric emptying: You’ll feel fuller for longer after meals, which can reduce overeating.
Reducing appetite: These medications help control cravings, making it easier to stick to your dietary goals.
Improving insulin sensitivity: GLP-1s help stabilize blood sugar levels, promoting balanced energy throughout the day.

Weight Loss Benefits of GLP-1s

How GLP-1s Help with Weight Loss:

Mimic natural hormones: GLP-1s imitate incretin, a hormone that regulates hunger signals in your body.
Fuller for longer: By slowing down digestion, these medications reduce the amount of food you need to feel satisfied.
Cut cravings: GLP-1s help reduce food cravings and emotional eating, common challenges when trying to lose weight.

Key Benefits of GLP-1 Weight Loss Programs:

Significant weight reduction: Patients often experience weight loss of 15-20% of their total body weight.
Sustainable progress: Weight loss is gradual and controlled, avoiding the "yo-yo" effect of rapid loss and regain.
Safe and effective: Our programs are medically supervised to ensure safety and optimal results.
Enhanced outcomes: GLP-1s work best when combined with nutrition and exercise for a comprehensive approach.

Who Can Benefit from GLP-1s?

GLP-1 weight loss medications are ideal for individuals who:

Have a BMI ≥30 or BMI ≥27 with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea.
Struggle with weight loss despite lifestyle changes and need additional support.

Our team will assess your overall health and determine if GLP-1s are the right solution for your weight loss journey.

Functional Health for Weight Loss

Our functional health approach evaluates the interplay between various systems in your body, ensuring that everything works together for optimal results. Rather than focusing on calorie counting alone, we assess:

Gut health: The state of your digestive system can significantly impact weight management.
Hormonal balance: Hormonal imbalances often contribute to weight gain and difficulty losing weight.
Inflammation: Chronic inflammation can hinder weight loss and affect your overall health.
Nutrient deficiencies: Inadequate nutrition can disrupt metabolism and make it harder to lose weight.

At The NP Xperience, we create a plan tailored to your unique health profile, empowering you to achieve your weight loss goals naturally.
