When you lose weight, your body treats it as a loss to be recovered. Hunger hormones tend to rise, the hormones that make you feel full tend to fall, and your body gets more economical with the energy it burns. That pull can last a year or more after the weight comes off.
It's why most diets work for a while and then stall, and why the weight so often comes back. It isn't a character flaw. It's physiology doing what it evolved to do.
It was never about willpower.

GLP-1 is a hormone your gut releases after you eat. The medications copy it, and last much longer than your own version does.

These are average results from the large randomized trials of these medications. Averages are not a forecast of what happens to you, and the trials studied FDA-approved medications rather than compounded versions. They're the clearest picture available of what this class of medication does.

These trials studied FDA-approved branded medications at their highest tolerated maintenance doses, alongside diet and exercise counselling. They did not study compounded medications. Individual results vary, and your clinician will talk through what is realistic for you.

GLP-1 weight medications are generally considered for adults with a BMI of 30 or more, or 27 or more alongside a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, or sleep apnea. Your clinician also checks for the situations where GLP-1s aren't used, including pregnancy and certain thyroid conditions. Treatment is prescribed only when it's medically appropriate, and not everyone qualifies.

Both medications are a once-weekly injection just under the skin, with a very fine needle. Most people pick a day of the week and keep it. Your dose starts low and steps up every few weeks, and once your medication arrives a free session with the care team shows you exactly how to take it.

The first few weeks.
How much does weight loss cost at Refuvia?+
Semaglutide is $299 a month and tirzepatide is $399 a month, with $100 off your first month for new patients. Two-month packages bring the monthly rate down to $275 and $375. The medication is included in that price.
Is the medication really included?+
Yes. There is no separate medication fee and no pharmacy bill to pay on top. If a GLP-1 is prescribed, it's prepared and shipped by a licensed compounding pharmacy as part of your program.
What's the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?+
They work on different receptors. Semaglutide acts on GLP-1. Tirzepatide acts on both GLP-1 and GIP. Tirzepatide costs more. Which one suits you is a clinical decision your clinician makes with you, based on your history and your goals.
Who qualifies for a GLP-1?+
GLP-1 weight medications are generally considered for adults with a BMI of 30 or more, or 27 or more with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure or prediabetes. Your clinician makes the final decision based on your full history.
How is it taken?+
Both are a once-weekly injection just under the skin that you do at home. After your medication arrives, a free session with the care team shows you exactly how.
What side effects are common?+
Nausea is the most common, mostly in the first weeks and after a dose increase, and it usually fades. Stepping the dose up slowly, eating smaller meals, and staying hydrated are the usual answers, and your clinician adjusts as you go.
Will I lose muscle?+
Some of the weight lost on a GLP-1 is lean mass. Eating enough protein and doing some strength training are the two most effective ways to protect it, and your clinician will talk through both.
Is this the same medication I've seen advertised?+
The active medications are semaglutide and tirzepatide, the same two molecules behind the GLP-1 treatments you have read about. Your clinician confirms which one suits you and which formulation you are prescribed, and it is dispensed through a licensed pharmacy. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality.
Why does tirzepatide cost more than semaglutide?+
It acts on two gut hormones rather than one, and the medication itself costs more to source. Whether the difference is worth it for you is a conversation with your clinician.
How quickly will I see a change?+
Your dose starts low and steps up over the first weeks, so early changes are usually modest. Most people notice appetite changes before they notice anything on the scale. Individual results vary.
Do I need insurance?+
No. Refuvia doesn't bill insurance, so there are no claims, no prior authorizations, and no denials. Most treatments are HSA and FSA eligible.
Do I need labs first?+
Not to begin. Your clinician may recommend the Refuvia Baseline Panel to see your metabolic markers before or during treatment, but it isn't a gate you have to clear before starting.
What happens if I stop?+
GLP-1 medications treat an ongoing condition, and appetite usually returns when they stop. Your clinician will talk through maintenance with you well before you get there.
