GLP-1 Therapies

GLP-1 Therapy for Medical Weight Loss

At Forbes Precision Health, GLP-1 medications are among the most effective, science-backed approaches to medical weight loss. These therapies work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate hunger, satiety, and metabolic function.

How GLP-1 Medications Work

GLP-1 receptor agonists signal fullness to the brain, slow gastric emptying, and improve insulin sensitivity—leading to reduced caloric intake and improved metabolic health.

Types of GLP-1 Therapies

• Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy)

• Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound)

• Liraglutide (Saxenda)

Each option is selected based on your physiology, goals, and tolerance.

Personalized Treatment Approach

No two patients are treated the same. Dr. Forbes develops individualized plans based on:

• Medical history

• Metabolic profile

• Medication response

• Lifestyle factors

Ongoing monitoring ensures optimal results and minimal side effects.

GLP-1 vs. Surgery

GLP-1 therapy offers a non-surgical option for weight loss, while bariatric surgery provides more definitive results. Your plan is tailored to what is most effective for you.

What to Expect

• Gradual, sustainable weight loss

• Appetite regulation

• Long-term treatment (similar to hormone therapy)
