See what we did there? If you’re struggling with weight and wondering if GLP-1s could be your answer, Dr. Houssock and Lindsey break down everything to expect from your first consult, like BMI requirements, lab work, and how we safely adjust your dose along the way.
Once used to treat diabetes, GLP-1 medications are now revolutionizing weight loss, helping people shed pounds after nothing else works. These prescriptions quiet cravings and regulate blood sugar, often leading to results once only possible with surgery.
Find out why protein is so important, why patience pays off, and why your path (and your dose) should be as unique as you are.
if you need to hit a certain weight before moving forward with surgery like liposuction or a tummy tuck, or if weight loss leaves you with loose skin, we’ll tell you more about how we can help.
