You might be a candidate for GLP-1 medications if you’re looking to reach a healthier weight. Specifically, GLP-1 medications could benefit you if:

- You’ve struggled with weight loss despite diet and exercise

- You’re looking for a sustainable way to control appetite

- You want to improve your energy levels and overall wellness

- You have a history of insulin resistance or prediabetes

Whether your goal is to feel lighter, healthier, or more in control of your body, GLP-1 medications could be the solution you’ve been waiting for.

Medical weight loss provides a structured and supervised approach to losing weight that is guided by healthcare experts. Using the highest-quality weight loss medications accompanied with evidence-based strategies, our doctors help individuals achieve and maintain a healthier body weight.

Gameday’s medical weight loss programs start with a comprehensive assessment of your overall health, including medical history, current medications, and any underlying medical conditions that may impact weight loss efforts. If eligible, our provider will create a tailored weight loss program to fit your goals.

Most patients start with one injection per week. The exact frequency and dosage are tailored to your health needs and goals, which we’ll determine during your personalized consultation.

It often is not until 4 or more weeks on a dose of 0.5 mg that patients will start to see a decline in weight. It’s possible that some individuals might not notice weight loss until close to 6 weeks.

Studies have shown that GLP-1 is most effective when combined with exercise and changes in diet. Therefore, the exact amount of time someone might need to receive this treatment will depend on current health conditions (if any) and if exercise and dietary changes can be adopted permanently to maintain an ideal weight.

Potential side effects can include headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, dizziness, changes in mood, constipation or diarrhea, heartburn, and bloating. While rare, more severe side effects can include pancreatitis, allergic reactions, kidney damage, gallstones, and others.

Your medical specialist at Gameday Men’s Health will thoroughly discuss the potential side effects with you and answer any questions you might have regarding the injections.

1. During Your Consultation - Your Gameday Men’s Health GLP-1 specialist will review your health history with you and perform a physical health analysis, including evaluating your BMI.

2. During Your Remaining Appointments - GLP-1 injections only need to be given once per week as a subcutaneous injection. The dosage is typically increased over time as the weeks’ progress. The exact amount of dosage given will depend on your specific health, weight, and needs. As mentioned, most individuals begin to notice weight loss between 4 to 6 weeks after beginning the injections.
