Compounded GLP weight loss medications

GLP medications are prescription weight loss injections that mimic natural hormones produced by your body to regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. These medications activate GLP-1 receptors (and sometimes GIP receptors), helping you feel fuller for a longer period, reducing cravings, and improving metabolic function. They are administered through small subcutaneous injections similar to insulin shots.

Let our medical team know you’re interested in medical weight loss treatment. During your free consultation, we will discuss your weight loss goals, health history, and whether GLP therapy suits you. You don’t need to worry about the technical details—our medical team will assess your eligibility and clearly explain your options.

Many patients achieve significant and lasting weight loss when these medications are combined with lifestyle changes. The success rates are high because these medications address the hormonal and metabolic factors that make weight loss difficult, rather than depending solely on willpower.

iThriveMD offers two main types: single-hormone GLP-1 medications that target one appetite pathway, and dual-action GLP-1/GIP medications that activate two hormone receptors for enhanced results. Both are compounded and customized to your dosing needs. Your medical team will recommend the best option based on your goals and health profile.

No. Only Tirzepatide (GLP-1 + GIP) is available at our clinic. We do offer Semaglutide maintenance plans for those that have been on a full GLP weight loss program.

Yes. Microdosing can deliver comparable outcomes to regular dosing, particularly for individuals focusing on gradual and sustainable weight loss, as well as enhanced metabolic health.

Most adults with a BMI over 27 and weight-related health conditions, or a BMI over 30, may qualify for GLP therapy. Ideal candidates typically include those who have struggled with traditional dieting, have insulin resistance or prediabetes, or need to lose 15 or more pounds. Our medical team offers free eligibility assessments to help determine if you qualify.

** Our GLP weight loss program does not require participants to have diabetes.

Each microdosing plan is tailored to your body composition, health goals, and how your body responds to treatment, for optimal weight management results.

Common side effects are usually mild and temporary. These may include nausea, decreased appetite (which can help with weight loss), and minor digestive changes. Most patients notice improvement within the first few weeks. Our twice-weekly dosing protocol uses smaller doses, which many patients find easier to tolerate compared to standard weekly injections. Additionally, our medical team adjusts your treatment to minimize any discomfort.

Many patients experience a decrease in appetite and initial weight loss within the first 1 to 2 weeks. However, the best results typically develop over the course of 3 to 6 months. While the medications begin working right away to influence hunger hormones, healthy and sustainable weight loss occurs gradually. Our medical supervision ensures that you are progressing safely toward your goals while maintaining your energy and well-being throughout the process.

Yes. Microdosing can complement other metabolic health and longevity programs offered at iThriveMD, supporting a holistic approach to long-term wellness.

Microdosing is well-suited for individuals new to GLP-1 or GIP medications, or for those seeking a more gradual and personalized approach to weight management.
