Studies have shown that our approach can be highly effective for weight loss. In clinical trials, participants using our approach along with lifestyle changes lost an average of 14.9% of their body weight over 68 weeks, compared to just 2.4% in the placebo group. However, individual results may vary.

Common side effects include gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, constipation, and diarrhea. Other possible side effects include headaches, fatigue, and dizziness. It’s important to note that side effects are typically mild and often decrease over time.  It’s important to have provider oversight to avoid side effects.

Medical weight loss is typically administered as a weekly injection. The dosage is usually started low and gradually increased to minimize side effects. In a patient-focused approach, dosages are tailored to each individual’s unique needs and response to the medication.

While our program can be effective, it works best when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Your healthcare provider may recommend keeping a food diary, tracking calorie intake, and increasing physical activity to maximize the benefits of the medication.

The duration of treatment can vary depending on individual response. Some people may begin to notice changes within a few weeks, but the full effects are typically seen over several months. If you don’t lose at least 5% of your body weight after 3-6 months on the full dose, your healthcare provider may adjust your treatment plan.
