Weight Loss (GLP-1)
Transform Your Health with GLP-1 Weight Loss Therapy
At Excellence in Primary Care, we offer GLP-1 weight loss therapy to help you achieve lasting weight loss results. GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a naturally occurring hormone that plays a key role in regulating appetite and blood sugar levels. By utilizing GLP-1 agonist medications, we can help you control hunger, reduce cravings, and improve metabolic health. Whether you’re struggling with weight loss or managing a condition like type 2 diabetes, our team is here to provide personalized care and support on your weight loss journey.
GLP-1 weight loss therapy involves the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists, which are medications that mimic the action of the natural hormone GLP-1. This hormone helps regulate appetite, food intake, and insulin secretion. By activating GLP-1 receptors, these medications help you feel fuller for longer, reduce cravings, and regulate your blood sugar levels.
GLP-1 agonists have been shown to promote weight loss by reducing hunger and encouraging healthy eating habits. In addition to weight loss, they can also help improve insulin sensitivity, which is particularly beneficial for patients with type 2 diabetes. At Excellence Primary Care, we offer GLP-1 therapy as part of a comprehensive weight management plan tailored to your individual needs.
How GLP-1 Weight Loss Therapy Works
GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as semaglutide (brand name Ozempic or Wegovy), are typically administered through a weekly injection. These medications help regulate the release of insulin and slow down gastric emptying, which increases feelings of fullness and reduces overall appetite.
Once prescribed, your provider will guide you through the process, explaining the benefits, dosage, and any potential side effects. The injections are usually easy to administer and can be done at home. You will have regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress, track weight loss, and assess overall health improvements.
Health Conditions GLP-1 Weight Loss Therapy Can Help Manage
GLP-1 weight loss therapy is particularly effective for individuals struggling with obesity or those with obesity-related health conditions. It can also be beneficial for patients who have difficulty losing weight through diet and exercise alone.

- Obesity and overweight
- Type 2 diabetes
- Insulin resistance
- High cholesterol or triglycerides
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
