How Do I Know If I Qualify for RX Weight Loss Medication?

BMI of 30kg/m2 or above? Great, no other conditions needed! BMI of 27 kg/m2 or above? You might qualify if you have at least one related condition like high cholesterol, blood sugar, or blood pressure. We're here to help you understand and take the next steps towards your health goals!

Do I Have to do Labs?

It's important to determine if they're right for you, track side effects, and see improvements. If your BMI is under 30, we need labs included in the lipid and metabolic panel, like cholesterol and blood glucose, to support your candidacy for GLP-1 agonist medications. Checking similar labs helps us monitor your progress. We’ll keep an eye on kidney and liver function, hydration, blood sugar levels, cholesterol improvements, blood counts, thyroid levels, and insulin levels. Although complications are extremely rare, labs help us watch for pancreatitis, acute kidney injury, and any general worsening in your condition.

Can I Taper Off the Medication When I Reach Goal Weight?

This medication is designed for long-term use, not just a short-term jump start. Stopping the medication may lead to regaining weight. It helps improve glucose and insulin levels and promotes a feeling of fullness; without it, these benefits may diminish. It's a big decision, but it can reduce the need for other lifelong medications like those for blood pressure, cholesterol, or insulin, which often have more side effects.

Lately, numerous clients have inquired about the connection between obesity and COVID-19. A recent study in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) revealed that 41.7% of 5,700 patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 had a Body Mass Index (BMI) exceeding 30. Individuals with obesity tend to experience increased airway resistance, reduced lung capacity, and diminished respiratory muscle strength, all of which are vital for combating COVID-19. Now, more than ever, achieving and sustaining a lower BMI is crucial.

The good news is you don't have to lose as much weight as you may think to see improvements in your health. Losing 5-10% of your weight can vastly improve many health conditions.
