GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) medications are an advanced medical treatment used to support healthy weight loss and improve metabolic function. These medications mimic a natural hormone in the body that helps regulate appetite, blood sugar, and digestion.

At Ione Medical, GLP-1 therapy is incorporated into personalized, physician-supervised weight management programs that focus on both physical and metabolic health for lasting results.

How GLP-1s Work

GLP-1 medications work by reducing appetite, slowing digestion, and stabilizing blood sugar levels. Together, these effects help control hunger, minimize cravings, and promote gradual, sustainable fat loss.

Treatment begins with a comprehensive medical assessment to determine eligibility and safety. Once prescribed, the medication is administered as a weekly injection under medical supervision. Throughout treatment, our team provides careful monitoring, lifestyle guidance, and ongoing support to maximize comfort and success.

Who Is a Good Candidate for GLP-1 Medications?

GLP-1 medications may be right for you if:

• You have a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 and above with related health conditions such as elevated blood pressure, insulin resistance, or high cholesterol
• You’ve struggled to achieve or maintain weight loss through diet and exercise alone
• You’re seeking a medically guided and scientifically supported approach to weight management
