GLP-1 treatment may be a good fit if you:

  • Struggle with hunger or overeating

  • Feel “out of control” around food

  • Gain weight easily despite trying multiple diets

  • Experience strong cravings

  • Have weight-related health conditions

  • Want steady, predictable weight loss

  • Prefer medical support rather than restrictive dieting

It may not be right for you if you:

  • Want a “quick fix”

  • Are uncomfortable with weekly injections

  • Have medical conditions listed in our safety article

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding

Your provider will help you weigh the benefits and risks so you can make the best decision for your health.
