Your Customized Weight Loss Journey

Everyone’s path to reaching their desired weight looks different, which is why we tailor every individual GLP-1 agonist treatment plan to each patient’s unique needs.

RejuvenationMD’s comprehensive, medically supervised Weight Loss Program is designed to help you reach your goals safely and effectively. Using custom-tailored GLP-1 medication combined with expert physician oversight, we’ll help you transform your health and your life!

GLP-1 medications can be used to reduce excess body weight and help patients maintain long-term results. They work by mimicking naturally occurring hormones in your body to:

  • Balance blood sugar by increasing insulin secretion and lowering glucose levels.
  • Curb hunger and keep you feeling full by delaying gastric emptying.

These medications are highly effective for adults with obesity who have at least one weight-related comorbidity, such as:

  • Hypertension
  • High Cholesterol
  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea
  • Cardiovascular Disease

While GLP-1 medications are effective and safe for many, they are not for everyone. During your consultation, we will review your health history together to make sure this is the safest, best option for you. If it isn’t, we will offer a professional recommendation of a treatment option more in line with your unique needs, goals, and history.

It is not advisable for patients to take this medication if any of the following apply:

  • Insulin users
  • Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (Insulin Dependent) diagnosis
  • History of Diabetic Retinopathy
  • Personal or family history of Medullary Thyroid Cancer or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome Type 2 (MEN 2)
  • Personal or family history of pancreatitis, or certain liver or kidney problems
  • Allergy to medication being administered
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals
  • Previous history of an eating disorder
  • BMI less than 18.5
  • Under 18 years of age

As with any medical treatment, there are potential side effects. It is important to keep your provider informed if you experience any adverse reactions during your treatment. Most side effects tend to be generally mild and may range between any of the following:

  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting
  • Constipation
  • Abdominal pain
  • Increased heart rate
  • Headache
  • Congestion
  • Fatigue
  • Indigestion
  • Dizziness

From day one, we provide comprehensive, compassionate support to help you feel empowered. We will work alongside you throughout each step of your weight loss journey, including:

  • Consultation & Intake
    • You will fill out a new patient intake form and meet with one of our providers to review your health history and ensure you are eligible for the program.
  • Complimentary Lab Work
    • To provide the safest care, we’ll order a full panel of bloodwork to be completed within a week of your consultation. RejuvenationMD covers the cost of these labs. Follow-up labs may be required as your dosage increases.
  • Program Setup
    • You will return to our office to review your lab results. If approved, we will set up your program schedule (consisting of either weekly or monthly office visits). We will also give you a complimentary smart scale to help measure your weight loss at home.
  • First Dose
    • We will gently administer your first dose right here in the comfort of our office. After that, you can either return weekly for injections performed by one of our medical providers or we will provide you with prefilled syringes and teach you exactly how to confidently self-administer it at home.
  • Check-Ins
    • Weekly to monthly weigh-ins and check-ins with an RMD provider are required, but we make them simple! These can be done via telehealth, over the phone, or in person—whatever works best for your busy schedule.
  • Dosing Adjustments
    • Your dose may change along your journey based on your specific goals, weight, and results.
  • Maintenance
    • Once you reach your goal weight, we will transition you to a manageable maintenance dose and health plan so you can sustain your results over time

On average, patients who partake in our personalized GLP-1 medical weight loss program see a 15% to 20% weight loss over the course of 2 years. Because your body needs to get used to the medication, we will start you on a lower dose and typically increase it as needed depending on your body’s response.

For optimal long-term success, GLP-1 medication should always be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise. RejuvenationMD works in collaboration with a nutritionist as well as a personal trainer to help achieve your goals.
