Weight Loss with GLP-1s
At Walker Wellness, we believe the key to lasting weight loss starts with asking the right questions. One we hear often is: “How do I know which approach is truly safe for me?” This concern is valid—after all, fad diets, online prescriptions, and quick fixes can sometimes do more harm than good. By combining advanced medical evaluations with personalized nutrition, supplementation, and body composition analysis, we guide our patients toward safe, sustainable results backed by science.
How do GLP-1’s help with Weight Loss?
GLP-1 receptor agonists, commonly known as “GLP-1s,” are one of the most effective medical tools for weight loss today. Originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, GLP-1s mimic a natural hormone that helps regulate appetite, slow digestion, and balance blood sugar. For many patients, this results in a decreased appetite, smaller portion sizes, and sustainable weight loss.
At Walker Wellness, we take a holistic approach when prescribing GLP-1s. While these medications can significantly reduce body weight, they are not a magic solution. Instead, they work best when paired with nutritional guidance, lab testing, body composition analysis, and ongoing support.
One of the most important aspects of using GLP-1s is understanding how they affect nutrient absorption. Patients may experience deficiencies if diet and supplementation are not monitored carefully. That’s why we run lab panels and provide customized supplement recommendations to ensure your body is supported throughout treatment.
Another key piece is body composition. Weight loss on the scale doesn’t always reflect fat versus muscle changes. Our InBody 380 scan helps track fat loss while protecting lean mass. This allows us to adjust nutrition and exercise plans to make sure you’re building strength, not just losing pounds.
GLP-1s are highly effective, but true long-term results come from combining the medication with education, nutrition, and accountability. We guide you through every step of the process so you not only lose weight but also create lasting habits that keep it off.
The best approach to weight loss depends on your health history, weight loss goals, and how your body responds to treatment. That’s why we start with a comprehensive consultation and lab review, ensuring your plan is safe, customized, and sustainable.
