Medical Weight Loss
GLP-1 medications like tirzepatide and semaglutide, prescribed and monitored by a certified nurse practitioner.
How Do GLP-1 Medications Work?
GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of medications that work with your body’s natural appetite regulation system. They slow gastric emptying, reduce hunger signals, and help regulate blood sugar — which for many patients supports meaningful weight loss alongside nutrition and lifestyle changes.
These medications were originally developed for type 2 diabetes, and several are now FDA-approved for chronic weight management. They carry risks and side effects as well as benefits, and they are not appropriate for everyone. Your provider will discuss treatment options including prescription medications as appropriate for your situation.
Which Medications Are Available?
Tirzepatide (Zepbound / Mounjaro)
A dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist that targets two hormones involved in appetite and blood sugar regulation. In clinical trials, many participants experienced significant weight loss; individual results vary.
Semaglutide (Wegovy / Ozempic)
A GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces appetite and food intake. FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults who meet BMI criteria.
Why Is Low Testosterone Making It Harder to Lose Weight?
Low testosterone shifts metabolism, encourages fat storage around the midsection, and makes it harder to hold onto muscle — the very tissue that keeps your metabolism running. You may be eating well and training, but if your testosterone is low, your body won’t respond the way it should.
Addressing testosterone alongside weight management medication may produce better results than either approach alone. This is why our practice combines both areas of care.

Have More Questions About GLP-1 Weight Loss?
What GLP-1 medications do you prescribe?
We work with GLP-1 receptor agonists including tirzepatide (Zepbound/Mounjaro) and semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic). Your provider will discuss which medication may be the best fit based on your health history and goals.
Can I combine weight loss medication with hormone therapy?
Yes. Low testosterone is one of the most common — and most overlooked — contributors to weight gain and stalled body composition in men. Addressing both testosterone and metabolism can produce better results than addressing either alone.
Do I need to be a certain weight to qualify?
GLP-1 medications are typically prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or greater, or a BMI of 27 or greater with at least one weight-related condition. Your provider will evaluate your individual situation during your consultation.
