GLP
Q: WHAT IS A GLP1? A: GLP-1 receptor agonist was originally developed for patients with Type 2 diabetes, but when providers and pharmaceutical developers noticed how much weight their patients were losing, they began to study it exclusively for weight loss. A series of clinical trials known as the STEP clinical trials demonstrated that almost 90% of patients lost 5% or more of their body weight. There is no other weight loss drug on the market that compares.
Q. HOW DO GLP1s WORK EXACTLY? A: ~Increase insulin production ~Decrease glucagon synthesis ~Delay gastric emptying ~Suppress hunger. It signals your brain that you are full so you can lose weight without feeling like you are depriving yourself.
Q: HOW QUICKLY WILL I SEE RESULTS? A: Most patients see results in their first 2 weeks, some over a month. However, treatment does not guarantee weight loss. Everyone’s body is different
Q: HOW LONG IS THE TREATMENT? A: The length of treatment depends on the amount of weight you desire to lose
Q. HOW TO DO A SUBCUTANEOUS INJECTION? A. First, gather all your materials you will need: prescription via, fresh alcohol wipes, new syringe/needle, and a sharps container to safely throw away your injection materials. Before injecting the medication, wash your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds with soap and water. You should use an alcohol wipe to sanitize the top of the medication vial. Without touching the needle, pull the syringe to the appropriate dosage. Then pierce the rubber ring of the prescription vial with the needle. Press the plunger of the syringe to push the air into the prescription vial. Invert the vial (hold it upside down) and pull the medication into the syringe to the appropriate dosage. Remove the needle from the vial. Subcutaneous injections can be given in the arm, abdomen, glute or thigh. Pinch the skin at your injection site between your thumb and forefinger. If you can pinch two inches of skin, hold the syringe at a 90 degree angle or you can only do one inch of skin, hold the syringe at a 45 degree angle. Use your wrist to press the needle into the skin. Slowly depress the plunger of the syringe to inject the medication, Then, remove the needle at the same angle you used to push it into your skin. Dispose of the needle and syringe.

Hormone Therapy
Q. WHAT ARE BIOIDENTICAL HORMONES? A. Bioidentical hormones are laboratory-created hormones that are chemically identical to the hormones produced by your body. They derive from a molecule called diosgenin in either soy or yam. Through chemical processes it is converted to the specific human hormone molecule with no traces of the plant. They're designed to mimic the exact structure and function of your natural hormones, making them a potential option for hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
Q. ARE COMPOUNDED MEDICATIONS SAFE? A. Compounding pharmacies are not directly regulated by the FDA but instead by individual state pharmacy boards and the Pharmaceutical Compounding Accreditation Board (PCAB). These regulatory bodies ensure that compounding pharmacies adhere to strict standards for purity, dosage, and consistency. Additionally, the hormones used in compounding are regulated by the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) and the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). These regulations guarantee that the hormones used come from FDA-inspected and approved facilities.
