FAQ

GLP-1 Questions We Hear Often

Do I need labs before starting GLP-1s?

Yes. We review your history and order labs to confirm candidacy and choose the safest starting plan.

What is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?

Both are GLP-1 based options. Tirzepatide also targets GIP receptors. Your clinician helps select based on profile, goals, and response.

How quickly will I notice changes?

It varies. We titrate gradually and pair medication with nutrition and habit coaching to support steady progress over time.

Are GLP-1s safe long term?

Safety depends on your history, monitoring, and adherence. We review risks, side effects, and alternatives during your visit.
