GLP-1 Side Effects
GLP-1 medications like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Mounjaro® have become household names in the weight loss world. But while these drugs can be effective, they often come with a long list of side effects.
At Medi-Weightloss we actively monitor, adjust, and support every patient’s journey with a comprehensive, physician-supervised program that addresses the root causes of weight gain—without relying solely on medications.
Prevent and Treat Side Effects
At Medi-Weightloss, we don’t chase trends—we follow the science. Our patients lose weight safely, sustainably, and with fewer complications because we treat the whole person, not just the number on the scale.
Weekly Medical Check-Ins
Every patient meets with a licensed provider weekly during the Acute and Short-Term Maintenance phases. We:
- Monitor labs, vitals, and body composition
- Adjust nutrition and supplement protocols
- Address side effects early—before they escalate
Targeted Supplementation to Prevent Deficiencies
Unlike GLP-1s, which can suppress appetite and reduce nutrient intake, we proactively support your metabolism and health with:
- Multivitamin+: Covers essential micronutrients often missed on low-calorie diets
- Omega-3s: Reduce inflammation and support cardiovascular health
- B-Complex + Lipo-B injections: Boost energy, fat metabolism, and mood
- Probiotics: Support gut health and natural GLP-1 production
- Plateau Buster: A proprietary blend to help break through metabolic stalls
Muscle Preservation Protocols
We track lean body mass and ensure patients are:
- Eating enough high-quality protein
- Supplementing with branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) if needed
- Incorporating resistance training to prevent muscle loss
Behavioral & Lifestyle Coaching
We address the why behind weight gain:
- Emotional eating
- Stress and sleep disruption
- Hormonal imbalances
- Lack of structure or accountability
