Understand your starting point
Discuss your health history, current medications, and previous weight-management efforts with a clinician.
Weight Management
More than a number on the scale.
Your weight journey deserves a conversation that looks at the whole picture. Bring your goals, previous experiences, and questions so you can explore a realistic approach to care.
Explore appropriate options
Prescription treatment may be an option for eligible patients, alongside nutrition, physical activity, and behavioral support.
Plan beyond the first visit
Ask how progress, tolerability, and long-term goals will be reviewed, and what follow-up support is available.
Understanding Peptides
Clarity before treatment.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids. The term “peptide therapy” covers different substances and uses; it does not describe one standardized treatment.
Ask about the specific medication, the reason it is being considered, and the evidence supporting that use. Benefits, risks, and approval status must be considered for each product.
Questions worth asking
- What is the exact medication and intended use?
- Is this product FDA-approved, and is the proposed use approved?
- What clinical evidence supports the recommendation?
- What are the alternatives, risks, and follow-up requirements?

Getting Started
A clear next step, at your pace.
Tell us what brings you in

Understand the plan
Before starting any treatment, clarify the total cost, administration instructions, follow-up schedule, and how to contact your care team.
Your Health Comes First
Is treatment right for you?
Suitability depends on the medication and your medical history. Share all medications and supplements, allergies, health conditions, and pregnancy or breastfeeding plans.
Weight-management medication is not appropriate during pregnancy. A clinician must review product-specific precautions and potential interactions.
Bring your questions, too.
There is no pressure to decide before you understand your options. Ask what is included, what may cost extra, and how the proposed plan fits your needs.
Medication is not the right choice for everyone. Your discussion may identify another approach or the need for care with a different specialist.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly are peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. When considering a peptide-based treatment, ask about the specific medication, its intended use, and the evidence supporting it. A consultation can help you understand which options may be appropriate for your needs.
How long does it take to see results?
There is no single timeline for every peptide-based treatment. Ask your prescribing clinician what outcomes are realistic for the specific medication, when progress should be reviewed, and how it will be measured. Individual results vary and cannot be guaranteed.
How are peptides administered?
The method depends on the specific medication and formulation prescribed. Before starting, ask your clinician to explain how to use it, how to store it, and what side effects to watch for. Follow the instructions provided with your prescription.
