GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide have transformed medical weight loss. If you’ve struggled with diet and exercise alone, here’s what you need to know.
How GLP-1 medications work
GLP-1 medications work with your body’s own hormones to reduce appetite, curb cravings, and regulate blood sugar — helping you eat less, feel satisfied, and lose weight steadily. Learn about our program on the medical weight loss in Brooklyn page.
Semaglutide vs. Tirzepatide
Both are GLP-1 medications. Tirzepatide also targets a second hormone (GIP) and may offer greater results for some people. The right choice depends on your health history and goals — which is exactly what a medical evaluation determines.
Why supervision matters
This isn’t an unsupervised online prescription. A medically supervised program means a doctorate-prepared nurse (DNP) tailors your medication and dose, monitors your progress, and manages any side effects — so your loss is safe and sustainable.
What to expect
- A short weekly self-injection at home
- Steady loss over the first weeks, building over months
- Regular provider check-ins
- Guidance on the habits that make results last
Getting started
Your program begins with a medical evaluation to confirm you’re a good candidate. Programs at our Brighton Beach studio start at $100 per week, including medical supervision.
