A clinical assessment to determine whether Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, or another GLP-1 medication is right for your body, your health history, and your weight loss goals. Fee applies to treatment.
Patients considering medical weight loss, have heightened BMI, prior failed weight loss attempts, and those who want an honest evaluation of whether GLP-1 therapy is appropriate before committing to a prescription.
Your provider reviews your full medical history, screens for contraindications, checks BMI and obesity-related risk factors, and may order labs including glucose, HbA1c, kidney function, and lipids. You'll discuss the differences between available GLP-1 options, expected timelines, side effect profiles, and how the medication integrates with nutrition and activity.
We don't prescribe GLP-1 medications to everyone who walks in. This consultation exists to make sure the treatment fits your clinical picture. If you're a candidate, we build a monitored program around you. If not, we tell you honestly. Lincoln Park or telehealth across Illinois.

Better Med Spa’s Weight Loss Consultation is a physician-led visit focused on GLP-1–based therapies like Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and advanced agents such as Retatrutide once regulations allow. During this session, your provider reviews your history, medications, BMI, and goals, orders labs if needed, and outlines a personalized plan that includes medication options, dosing strategy, nutrition, exercise, and follow-ups.
During your Weight Loss Consultation, the Better Med Spa team takes a detailed history, reviews prior weight loss attempts, screens for contraindications (such as certain thyroid cancers, MEN-2, pancreatitis history, or uncontrolled GI disease), and checks BMI and obesity-related risk factors. Labs such as glucose/HbA1c, kidney function, and lipids may be ordered to guide safe GLP-1 prescribing. Your provider then discusses GLP-1 and GIP options—Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and where legally compliant, advanced agents like Retatrutide—explaining benefits, risks (including FDA concerns with unapproved or compounded products), and the structure of your dosing, monitoring, and lifestyle support plan.
