GLP-1 Agonists

Have you tried GLP-1 agonists? This term refers to weight loss medications like Ozempic® to treat type 2 diabetes and Wegovy® to treat obesity.

If you have or haven't tried them, what are your thoughts about them? What intrigues you or makes you hesitant to try them?

  1. One it now

    1. Hi . How is it going for you so far? Are you having many side effects? - Lori (Team Member)

  2. I've been paying out-of-pocket for Zepbound since the end of February 2026. I've lost about 9 pounds per month. I love this medication.

    1. Hi . From what I understand, Ozempic can cost $900 to $1,400 without insurance, but most people qualify for savings through the manufacturer. According to Drugs.com, the price can be as low as $199 for the lowest dose with the savings card. I hope that helps. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)

    2. Thank you. Yes, I agree. Surgery seems drastic. I hope all goes well for me.

  3. Started recently. So far so good

  4. yes

    1. I cannot say that I have been tested for hormone disorders or things that impact my metabolism. Thanks for the tip I will bring this up at my next visit. Much appreciative!!

    2. Please do. Those tests could provide some very important clues as to why you are not losing weight and they are easy. Nothing more than simple blood tests. Warmly, Lori (Team Member)
