The duration for taking medication varies for each individual. Most studies showing the effectiveness of GLP-1 medication for weight loss were conducted over the course of a year or more. The medications have been approved as safe for long term use in patients with diabetes.
We typically recommend a course of about a year to achieve your weight loss goals. However, some may require longer maintenance at a lower dosage.
We aim to utilize GLP-1 medication as a tool to initiate weight loss, while the long-term success is maintained by the healthy habits cultivated during the program. We advocate a "lower and slower" approach to dosing for safety, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.
Quick fixes with GLP-1s tend to yield short-lived results. More details are available on our
