GLP-1 Weight Loss Consultation
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 where 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.
How It Works
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.
What It Targets
Our GLP-1 weight loss consultation is designed to address:
- Adults struggling with overweight or obesity who want a structured, medical approach instead of another DIY diet.
- Clients curious about GLP-1 options (Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, possible future/advanced agents) who need clear, personalized guidance—not social media advice.
- Individuals with weight-related concerns such as elevated blood pressure, cholesterol, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes who may benefit from metabolic support.
- People who have plateaued with nutrition and exercise alone and want help selecting the right medication, dose, and plan.
- Clients unsure if they qualify for GLP-1 therapy or whether brand-name, generic, or compounded options are safest and most appropriate.
- Those who value a holistic journey—combining medication with coaching, habit change, and aesthetic treatments to match inner health with outer confidence.
Benefits
Our weight loss consultation is believed to offer a multitude of benefits:
- E-led, structured evaluation instead of “one-size-fits-all” prescribing, improving safety and outcomes.
- Clear education on the differences between Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and next-generation agents like Retatrutide, including expected results, side effects, and regulatory status.
- Comprehensive screening for contraindications and risk factors, with labs and documentation aligned to current GLP-1 guidelines and best practices.
- Personalized dosing roadmap and titration schedule, plus a monitoring cadence (check-ins every few weeks, then monthly) to adjust medication and manage side effects.
- Integration with nutrition, movement, and behavior strategies for sustainable weight maintenance instead of rebound weight gain.
- Guidance around FDA alerts, unapproved or compounded GLP-1s, and quality sourcing so clients can make informed choices and avoid risky online products.

Questions?
We're here to answer your questions and provide the best services for your needs.
You’ll sit down with a Better Med Spa provider to review your medical history, medications, weight journey, lifestyle, and goals, then undergo a focused exam and, when indicated, lab work such as glucose, HbA1c, kidney function, and lipids. From there, your clinician explains GLP-1 and GIP options—Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and any advanced agents offered—then recommends a customized plan that includes dosing, follow-up schedule, and lifestyle support.
One of our experts will review your medical history, current medications, lifestyle, and weight loss history. They’ll discuss your goals, perform measurements (weight, BMI, body composition), and may order labs to check for underlying issues. Together, you’ll decide on a custom weight loss treatment plan to reach your goals.
What’s the difference between Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and Retatrutide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist, Tirzepatide targets both GIP and GLP-1, and Retatrutide (still investigational at the federal level) engages triple pathways for weight and metabolic effects. Your consultation focuses on which, if any, is appropriate based on availability, regulatory status, risk profile, and your health, with particular care around non-FDA-approved or compounded products.
Are compounded or non-FDA GLP-1s discussed?
Yes—your provider will review the difference between FDA-approved branded medications and compounded or non-FDA products, including recent FDA warnings about unapproved GLP-1s and restrictions on agents like Retatrutide. The goal is to help you understand safety, quality, and legal considerations so you can choose a path that aligns with both your goals and current regulations.
How does this consultation connect with other Better Med Spa services?
After your plan is set, you can integrate GLP-1 care with body-contouring, skin-tightening, and K-Beauty facials to match your visible results to your changing body, as well as memberships that bundle visits, injections, and follow-ups. Many clients appreciate automated check-ins, progress tracking, and add-on services that increase accountability, enhance aesthetics, and improve long-term success.
