GLP-1 medications, like semaglutide and tirzepatide, work like a natural hormone your body releases after eating. They help you feel full sooner, quiet constant food noise, and improve how your body handles blood sugar. At LIV, GLP-1 treatment is part of a complete plan that includes labs, InBody tracking, nutrition, and muscle protection.

In general, prescription weight loss medications are FDA-approved for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, prediabetes, or sleep apnea. Your provider makes the final decision after reviewing your full history. Try the BMI calculator above for a quick check.

Brand-name medications are FDA-approved and made by the manufacturer. Compounded versions are prepared by licensed pharmacies and are not FDA-approved or reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality. We explain both options and help you choose what fits your needs and coverage.

The most common side effects of GLP-1 medications are nausea, constipation, and reduced appetite, especially when starting or increasing a dose. We start low, increase slowly, and coach you on eating and hydration to keep you comfortable. GLP-1 medications are not appropriate for everyone, including people with certain thyroid cancer histories or pancreatitis.
