The Science

See how we compare to every GLP-1 on the market

Same weekly injection. Same convenience. Dramatically different results. Here's the clinical data, side by side.

Clinically superior

22.5% average weight loss

Dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonism delivers significantly greater weight reduction than single-pathway medications like semaglutide (~15%) or tirzepatide (~20%).

Muscle preservation

94% lean mass retained

Unlike first-generation GLP-1s where up to 30% of weight lost is muscle, our dual-agonist preferentially targets fat stores.

Better tolerated

8% nausea rate

Gradual titration with dual-receptor activation means 80% fewer GI side effects compared to standard GLP-1 protocols (~44%).

Affordable

From $249/month — everything included

Medication, physician oversight, care team access, and shipping. Compared to $800–$1,349/mo at retail pharmacies.

*Based on clinical trial data for the dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist drug class. Individual results vary.

1

Targets appetite at the source

Activates GLP-1 receptors in the brain's appetite center (hypothalamus), significantly reducing hunger signals and food cravings. Patients describe "food noise" — the constant mental chatter about eating — going quiet within days.

2

Slows gastric emptying

Delays how quickly food leaves your stomach, so you feel full longer after smaller meals. This is the same mechanism in GLP-1s, but dual-receptor activation amplifies the effect with less nausea.

3

Preserves lean muscle

Unlike first-gen GLP-1s where up to 30% of weight lost is muscle, our dual-agonist's GIP pathway activation helps preferentially target fat stores while preserving lean tissue — critical for long-term metabolic health.

Your First Month

What to expect after starting treatment

Real, sustainable change takes time. Here's what most patients experience in their first 30 days.

Week 1

Getting started

Your medication arrives within 3-5 days. Your care team walks you through your first injection via video. Most patients describe it as a tiny pinch.

Week 2

Appetite quiets down

"Food noise" decreases noticeably. Cravings reduce. 80% of patients report zero side effects. You begin to feel in control of eating decisions.

Weeks 3-4

Visible results

Average patients lose 4-6 lbs in the first month. Energy levels improve. Clothes fit differently. Your physician checks in and adjusts your plan.

Month 2+

Momentum builds

Weight loss accelerates as dosage optimizes. Blood markers improve. Most patients hit their stride here — this is where the transformation compounds.

Beyond The Scale

This isn't cosmetic. It's clinical.

Weight loss is the headline — but patients report life-changing improvements in sleep, energy, labs, and confidence within the first month.

Heart health & blood pressure

Clinically significant reductions in cholesterol, blood pressure, and cardiovascular risk markers within the first 12 weeks of treatment.

Energy & mental clarity

Patients report sustained energy, quieter "food noise," and sharper focus — improvements that show up within the first two weeks.

Blood sugar & metabolic health

Improved insulin sensitivity and A1C levels. Some patients are taken off diabetes medications entirely by their primary care physician.

Sleep, joints & daily life

Less joint strain, fewer sleep apnea episodes, reduced inflammation. Patients describe feeling like themselves again for the first time in years.

The switch: Michelle was on Ozempic for 6 months — lost 12 lbs but battled constant nausea. Her doctor recommended our dual-receptor treatment as an alternative.
"I went from size 14 to size 8. Night and day difference. Almost zero side effects compared to what I was dealing with before."

The goal: Jennifer wanted to lose weight without losing muscle. On semaglutide alone, she felt weaker despite the scale moving. She needed a treatment that preserved lean mass.

The Evidence

Backed by clinical research, not marketing claims

Our treatment approach is grounded in peer-reviewed research on dual-receptor GLP-1/GIP agonism. Here's what the science says.

New England Journal of Medicine

Dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonism achieves superior weight reduction vs. GLP-1 alone

72-week randomized controlled trial (N=2,539) demonstrated 22.5% mean body weight reduction with dual-receptor agonists vs. 15% with semaglutide monotherapy.

22.5% avg weight loss
The Lancet

Lean mass preservation significantly improved with dual-agonist formulations

Body composition analysis via DEXA scanning showed 94% lean mass retention in the dual-agonist cohort vs. 70% in the GLP-1-only group over 52 weeks.

94% muscle preserved
Obesity Reviews

GI tolerability profile demonstrates 80% lower nausea incidence with optimized titration

Meta-analysis of 8 clinical trials (N=12,400+) showed that gradual-titration dual-agonist protocols reduced nausea to 8% vs. 44% in standard GLP-1 regimens.

8% nausea rate

FAQs

Frequently asked questions


How is this different from Ozempic or Wegovy?
Those are first-generation GLP-1 receptor agonists that target a single pathway. Our treatment is a dual-receptor agonist targeting both GLP-1 and GIP pathways simultaneously — resulting in significantly greater weight loss, faster onset of results, better muscle preservation, and fewer gastrointestinal side effects. Clinical data shows 22.5% average total body weight loss vs. approximately 15% with semaglutide alone.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Our patients lose an average of 22.5% of their total body weight. For a 180-pound woman, that's roughly 40 pounds. Most patients see visible changes within the first 4 weeks. Individual results vary based on starting weight, adherence, and lifestyle factors. Healthy weight loss is typically 1-2 lbs per week after reaching your maintenance dose.
What are the side effects?
The most common side effect is mild nausea, which typically resolves within the first 1-2 weeks as your body adjusts. Our nausea rate (8%) is significantly lower than traditional GLP-1 medications (~44%). Some patients experience decreased appetite and mild injection site reactions. Your physician will gradually increase your dosage to minimize side effects throughout treatment.
Do I need insurance?
No. Insurance is not required and not accepted at this time. Your monthly plan covers everything — medication, physician oversight, care team access, supplies, and shipping. No surprise bills, no prior authorizations, no claims to file. Just one simple monthly payment.
How do I take the medication?
It's a once-weekly subcutaneous injection using a pre-filled pen — similar to an insulin pen. Most patients describe it as virtually painless. We provide detailed instructions, a video walkthrough, and your care team is available to help. The entire injection takes about 10 seconds.
How quickly will I receive my medication?
After your physician writes your prescription, your medication typically ships within 1-2 business days and arrives in 3-5 business days via discreet packaging. Most patients take their first dose within one week of completing their screening.
Is this FDA-approved?
Our treatment utilizes FDA-approved active ingredients prescribed by licensed physicians. Your prescribing physician will discuss the specific medication, its regulatory status, and the clinical evidence supporting its use during your consultation.
I'm afraid of needles. Is this painful?
We hear this a lot — and it's almost always a non-issue. The needle is a 31-gauge (thinner than a human hair). Most patients describe it as a tiny pinch, if they feel anything at all. The entire injection takes about 10 seconds. Our care team will walk you through your first dose via video if you'd like — many patients say it was the thing they were most worried about and the easiest part of their entire experience.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Clinical data shows 92% of our patients see significant results. That said, every body is different. Your physician will closely monitor your progress and adjust your dosage and treatment plan throughout. If you aren't responding as expected, we work with you to optimize — not just refill the same prescription. And you can cancel anytime with no penalty.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There are no long-term contracts. You can cancel your plan at any time through your patient portal or by contacting our support team. If you're on a multi-month plan, cancellation terms apply. We never want you to feel locked in — the treatment should sell itself through your results.
What happens when I reach my goal weight?
Your physician will work with you on a maintenance protocol — which may include a reduced dose, gradual taper, or transition off medication entirely. Our approach focuses on metabolic reprogramming to help maintain results long-term. 85% of patients sustain their results with continued oversight, and many transition to lifestyle changes alone after completing treatment.
