Frequently Asked questions
What is a GLP-1?
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) therapy uses prescription medications that mimic a naturally occurring hormone in the body to help regulate appetite, decrease food cravings, improve blood sugar balance, and support sustainable weight loss.
How Do GLP-1 medications work?
​GLP-1 medications slow gastric emptying, help control hunger cues, enhance insulin sensitivity, and reduce overeating. As a result, most patients experience reduced appetite, improved portion control, and steady weight loss when combined with healthy lifestyle habits.
Who is the ideal candidate?
The ideal candidate would likely be someone who:
-
Struggles to lose weight despite diet and exercise
-
Has a BMI of 27+ with weight-related concerns, or BMI of 30+
-
Desires a medically guided, sustainable approach to weight loss.
Your consultation at Juniper Reign will include a detailed health review to ensure GLP-1 therapy is safe and appropriate.
How Soon Will results be noticable?
Most patients begin to notice appetite changes in the first few weeks, with gradual weight loss occurring over several months.
How long do you need to be on a GLP-1?
GLP-1 therapy duration varies by individual goals. Some patients use it short-term to kick-start weight loss, while others stay on it longer for ongoing metabolic support. Your provider will reassess progress regularly and create a personalized plan.
What are the common side effects?
Some patients experience mild side effects, typically during the dose-adjustment period. Common symptoms may include nausea, bloating, diarrhea, or fatigue. These often improve as the body adjusts. Our team will guide you through supportive measures to minimize discomfort.
Is GLP-1 use safe?
Yes—when prescribed and monitored by a licensed medical provider. At Juniper Reign, your therapy plan is overseen by experienced clinicians who monitor labs, dosage, and progress to ensure your safety and success.
