Which GLP-1 is right for me? +
It depends on your goals and health history. Semaglutide is the most-prescribed GLP-1 and a common starting point; Tirzepatide adds a second pathway and often greater weight loss; oral Semaglutide is a needle-free daily option; Metformin and Phentermine work through other pathways. A licensed provider reviews your information and recommends the best fit.
Semaglutide vs Tirzepatide — what's the difference? +
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1/GIP agonist — it acts on two incretin pathways instead of one, which is why many people see greater weight loss on it. Both are weekly injections, and both require a provider's review to determine what's appropriate for you.
How much weight can I expect to lose? +
Results vary from person to person and depend on your starting point, the treatment prescribed, and lifestyle factors like diet and activity. We don't promise a specific number — a licensed provider sets realistic expectations for your situation and adjusts your plan over time.
What about nausea and other side effects? +
Mild nausea, especially early on or when doses increase, is the most common GLP-1 side effect and often eases as your body adjusts. Providers typically start low and titrate slowly, and a companion anti-nausea medication like Ondansetron can help. Your provider reviews your history and explains what to watch for.
Injections or tablets — which should I choose? +
Injectable GLP-1s (Semaglutide, Tirzepatide) are taken once weekly. If you'd prefer to avoid needles, oral Semaglutide is a daily tablet, and Metformin and Phentermine are also tablets. Your provider helps you weigh convenience, goals, and tolerability.
Do I need insurance or an appointment? +
No. There's no insurance requirement and no scheduled appointment. You complete an online intake on your own time, and a licensed provider reviews it — available in most U.S. states.
