General Questions
GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) medications are an innovative class of drugs used in weight loss and type 2 diabetes management. These medications mimic the body’s natural GLP-1 hormone, which plays a critical role in regulating blood sugar, metabolism, and appetite. Here’s how they work:
Stimulate Insulin Release: GLP-1 medications help the pancreas release insulin, lowering blood sugar levels.
Suppress Glucagon: They inhibit glucagon, a hormone that increases blood sugar, promoting better glucose control.
Slow Gastric Emptying: These drugs slow down digestion, leading to a gradual release of nutrients and reduced blood sugar spikes.
Enhance Satiety: By promoting a feeling of fullness, GLP-1 medications help reduce food intake and support weight loss.
These medications have become increasingly popular in telehealth weight loss programs due to their dual benefits of improving metabolic health and promoting sustainable weight loss. When used under medical supervision, GLP-1 medications can be a powerful tool in managing obesity and type 2 diabetes, making them a cornerstone in modern telehealth weight loss strategies.

Medication & Services Questions
Your prescriptions are processed and shipped within 3-5 business days. If your prescription is approved, it will be handled by a third-party compounding pharmacy and shipped directly from there to the address you provided.
No — the cost listed on our website includes your medication, as long as it is approved by your healthcare provider.

If you have any questions or concerns, contact your provider or another licensed medical professional before administering your medication.
General injection steps may include:
1. Choose an injection site
Commonly recommended areas include the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Rotate injection sites as directed by your provider to help reduce irritation.
2. Clean the area
Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab and allow it to dry before injecting.
3. Prepare the medication
Using an insulin syringe, draw up the exact dose prescribed by your provider from the vial provided. Always verify the correct units based on your written dosing instructions, as vial concentrations may vary.
4. Administer the injection
Gently pinch the skin and insert the needle as instructed by your provider, typically at a 90-degree angle or, in some cases, a 45-degree angle depending on the injection area and body composition. Slowly press the plunger until the medication is fully delivered.
5. Remove the needle
After the medication has been administered, remove the needle and apply light pressure to the site if needed.
6. Dispose of materials properly
Dispose of used needles and syringes in an approved sharps container according to local guidelines.
