GLP-1 medications have changed what’s possible for people who have struggled to lose weight, but medication is only part of it. Our physician-led programs are actively monitored and get consistently better outcomes. Dr. Delaney manages GLP-1 weight loss programs directly. He reviews your health history, metabolic profile and goals. Dosing is adjusted based on how your body responds. That ongoing oversight creates real, lasting results.
It works by mimicking a hormone that regulates appetite & blood sugar, reducing hunger & slowing gastric emptying. Clinical trials have shown significant weight reduction with sustained use under physician supervision
It works on two hormone pathways simultaneously, which has shown even greater weight loss results in clinical studies. Dr. Delaney will help determine which medication is the best fit based on your profile
GLP-1 therapy is typically appropriate for adults with a BMI over 27 who have a weight-related health condition, or a BMI over 30. It may not be appropriate for patients with certain thyroid conditions or a personal or family history of specific cancers. Dr. Delaney will review your full health history at your consultation to determine if this is a good fit.
Online-only services often prescribe based on a short questionnaire with no ongoing physician involvement. Here, Dr. Delaney reviews your health history directly, adjusts dosing based on your response and monitors for side effects. That level of oversight produces better outcomes and catches issues before they become problems.
Clinical trials show meaningful weight loss over 12 to 16 weeks, with continued results at 6 to 12 months. Individual results vary based on starting weight, dosing, adherence and lifestyle factors. Dr. Delaney will give you a realistic expectation at your consultation.
The most common side effects are gastrointestinal — nausea, reduced appetite and occasional digestive discomfort, particularly early in treatment. Most patients find these improve as the body adjusts. Starting at a lower dose and titrating gradually, as Dr. Delaney does, reduces the severity of early side effects.
