GLP-1 Peptides: Supporting Your Health Journey

Our focus is on GLP-1 peptides, such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide—revolutionary medications that support weight loss and overall health. These peptides, part of a groundbreaking class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, are designed to:

  • Aid in sustainable weight loss.

  • Enhance metabolic health for optimal blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure levels.

  • Support neurological and cardiovascular wellness.

  • Promote overall inflammation management.

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide were originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes but are now celebrated for their broader wellness benefits. As a proud continuation of the peptide revolution first started with insulin, these medications offer a new, science-backed pathway to improved health.

By combining GLP-1 therapy with personalized lifestyle recommendations—including resistance training, balanced nutrition, and proper hydration—our program is tailored to help you achieve lasting results.

Program Onboarding for GLP-1 Peptide Therapy

At Essential Health Solutions, starting your weight loss journey with GLP-1 peptides begins with a comprehensive onboarding process to ensure the program is the right fit for you and tailored to your specific needs.

  • Begin with a consultation with one of our experienced healthcare professionals to determine if GLP-1 peptide therapy is the best option for you. During this consultation, we’ll discuss your medical history, weight loss goals, and any additional considerations to create a customized treatment plan.

  • Meet with our wellness nurse practitioner (NP) to discuss your lab results, GLP-1 therapy, hormones, and other aspects of your wellness journey. This meeting, normally valued at $100, is included free of charge with the program.

FAQs

  • The most common side effects include nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal cramping, with nausea and constipation being the most frequently reported. These effects are typically manageable and often improve over time as your body adjusts to the medication.

    Tips for managing side effects:

    • Nausea: Often due to eating foods your body doesn’t tolerate, eating too late, or consuming large meals. Try smaller meals, avoid trigger foods, and consider anti-nausea medication if needed.

    • Constipation: Use flax seed, magnesium supplements, or MiraLAX. Staying hydrated and including fiber-rich foods in your diet can also help.

    • Start with a low dose and increase gradually to allow your body to adjust.

    • B12 injections or PeptideVite may alleviate symptoms and support overall well-being.

  • GLP-1 peptides are primarily indicated for:

    • Weight Loss: Typical results range from 2-6 pounds per month, depending on the individual.

    • Metabolic Health: Support for achieving ideal levels of blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and waist circumference.

    Results are influenced by individual factors and adherence to recommended lifestyle changes, such as:

    • Regular exercise, including weightlifting and resistance training.

    • Calorie counting to monitor and maintain a balanced diet.

    By combining GLP-1 therapy with these tools, clients can maximize their outcomes.

  • Regular follow-ups are an essential part of your weight loss journey to monitor progress and ensure safety:

    • Semaglutide: Dosing occurs once a month, during which peptides are refilled, weight loss progress is assessed, and side effects are reviewed.

    • Tirzepatide: Similar to Semaglutide, dosing is monthly, with a focus on refilling peptides, evaluating weight loss, and addressing any side effects.

    • Lab Work: Labs, including CBC, CMP, A1C, Lipid, and TSH panels, are typically repeated every 3-6 months along with vitals to monitor your overall health and response to the therapy.

    • Reach Out: If you experience any issues, contact your healthcare provider or our clinic for timely support and adjustments to your program.

    By staying consistent with follow-ups, you can optimize the benefits of GLP-1 peptide therapy while ensuring your health is well-supported.

  • The cost of Semaglutide/Tirzepatide therapy is dose-dependent and billed monthly. Here’s how it works:

    • Monthly Billing: You are billed each month for the predicted dose required for the next 4 weeks.

    • Prorated Doses: If you require a partial dose in a month, the cost will be adjusted accordingly.

    • Home Injections: Syringes are filled at the same dose for 4 weeks. Any desired dosing adjustments must be discussed with us prior to adjusting.
