Medical weight loss

GLP-1 therapy, prescribed and monitored by licensed providers.

For adults who qualify, GLP-1–based medications can reduce appetite and improve satiety. We pair them with body-composition tracking, nutrition guidance, and regular clinical follow-up.

Medications your provider may consider

Two options, chosen for you — not from a menu.

Semaglutide vial and injection pen
GLP-1 receptor agonist

Semaglutide

A GLP-1–based medication that can support weight loss by reducing appetite, improving satiety, and supporting blood-sugar control. Given as a once-weekly injection.

Prescription treatments require a medical evaluation by a licensed provider, who decides whether a treatment is appropriate for you. Not everyone qualifies. Some medications we prescribe may be prepared by a state-licensed compounding pharmacy. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness, or quality. See Important Safety Information, including a boxed warning about thyroid C-cell tumors.

GLP-1, explained

A hormone your body already makes, working on three fronts.

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is released by your gut after you eat. GLP-1–based medications are designed to mimic it and last longer in the body.

Brain

Appetite signals

GLP-1 acts on areas of the brain involved in hunger, which can help you feel full sooner and think about food less.

Stomach

Slower emptying

Food leaves the stomach more gradually, which can extend the feeling of fullness after a meal.

Pancreas

Blood-sugar support

GLP-1 helps the body release insulin when blood sugar rises after eating, supporting steadier glucose levels.

In person, in Orange

Care from a clinical team you actually meet.

Evaluations, check-ins, and body-composition scans happen here, not over a chat window.

Body-composition scan at Élevé

What your program includes

More than a prescription.

  • Medical evaluation — health history, current medications, and labs where indicated.
  • Body-composition scans to track fat and lean mass over time.
  • Gradual dose titration to help manage side effects.
  • Clinical check-ins to review progress, side effects, and next steps.
  • Nutrition and protein guidance to help preserve lean muscle.
  • Optional add-ons such as MIC B12 injections and recovery sessions.

Who may be a candidate

Eligibility is a medical decision.

GLP-1 medications are generally considered for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes. Your provider makes the final decision.

May not be appropriate if you

  • Have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC)
  • Have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)
  • Are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy
  • Have had a serious allergic reaction to a GLP-1 medication

Tell your provider if you have

  • A history of pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, or kidney problems
  • Diabetes, especially if you use insulin or a sulfonylurea
  • Diabetic retinopathy
  • Depression or thoughts of self-harm
  • An upcoming surgery or procedure requiring anesthesia

Individual results vary. Weight loss depends on many factors, including diet, activity, and medical history. No specific result is guaranteed.
