At PRINE Health, our mission is to provide high-quality, patient-centered care that supports long-term wellness. As part of our comprehensive approach to metabolic and chronic care management, we offer evidence-based treatments that help patients take control of their health.
One treatment option that has gained significant attention is GLP-1 medications—including Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, and Zepbound™—for improving blood sugar, reducing appetite, and supporting meaningful weight loss. Below, we break down what these medications are, how they work, and what patients can expect when treated through PRINE Health’s clinically supervised program.
What Are GLP-1 Medications?
GLP-1 medications belong to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, developed to help regulate blood sugar levels. These medications mimic a naturally occurring hormone that impacts:
- Blood glucose control
- Appetite and cravings
- Digestion and fullness signals
- Metabolic efficiency
Because of these effects, GLP-1 medications have become one of the most effective tools for treating Type 2 diabetes and achieving clinically significant weight loss.
Why GLP-1s Are Effective for Weight Loss
Many PRINE Health patients using GLP-1 medications experience:
- Reduced hunger throughout the day
- Improved portion control
- Decreased cravings, especially for high-carbohydrate or high-sugar foods
- Steadier blood sugar levels
- 10–20% total body weight loss, depending on medication and adherence
When combined with lifestyle guidance, GLP-1 medications can help patients reach—and maintain—their health goals.
Who May Benefit From GLP-1 Treatment?
At PRINE Health, GLP-1 medications may be considered for adults who:
- Have Type 2 diabetes
- Have a BMI of 30 or higher, or
- Have a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related conditions such as high cholesterol, hypertension, prediabetes, or sleep apnea
Our clinical team reviews each patient’s complete health picture to determine whether GLP-1 therapy is appropriate and safe.
A Personalized PRINE Health Approach
We don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” medicine. Our GLP-1 program includes:
1. Comprehensive Clinical Evaluation
We assess medical history, metabolic markers, lifestyle habits, and health goals.
2. Medication Selection Tailored to the Patient
Different GLP-1 medications work differently. We help choose the most effective and safest option.
3. Ongoing Monitoring & Dose Adjustments
Doses are increased gradually under physician supervision to minimize side effects and support successful weight loss.
4. Nutrition & Lifestyle Integration
PRINE Health offers guidance from:
- Primary care physicians
- Licensed dietitians
- Chronic care specialists
We also offer Resting Metabolic Rate Testing to help personalize calorie and nutrition planning.
5. Long-Term Weight Maintenance Strategy
Our goal is sustainable, long-term improvement—not temporary results.
What About Side Effects?
Most patients tolerate GLP-1 medications well. The most common side effects include:
- Mild nausea
- Fullness or decreased appetite
- Constipation or occasional GI discomfort
These often improve as your body adjusts. Our team helps manage symptoms with personalized strategies and dose modifications when needed.
