GLP-1 Medication Drives Weigh Loss

Breton Village Pediatrics and Family Medicine Our Services Weight Loss Treatment

Breton Village Pediatrics and Family Medicine

Pediatrics & Family Medicine located in Grand Rapids, MI

GLP-1s are different from older classes of prescription weight loss medications (like phentermine) because they work on key underlying metabolic pathways to support sustained weight loss. They're not just another quick fix. Calibrate doctors prescribe a variety of GLP-1 medications, including semaglutide and liraglutide, which you may know under brand names like Wegovy, Saxenda, Ozempic  or Mounjaro.

Our Doctor prescribe Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists, GLP-1s for short—because research shows that when combined with lifestyle changes, they're the safest and most effective approach to achieve sustainable weight loss. 

 

Our Medical Team determines which medication is clinically -appropriate for you. GLP-1 and combined GLP-1/GIP medications work on your body’s own receptors to decrease appetite, increase satiety, and regulate insulin and glucose.
