Welcome to the

Modern Weight Loss Family

We're so excited you've made the decision to take control of your medical narrative

Here are some things you'll want to know

Let's get started!

Important!

Dosage Information

Be sure you look in your Modern Weight Loss Portal where you'll find your specific GLP-1 dosage!

Note: your packaging will show a standard dosage

(Regrettably, the manufacturer will not customize this information.)

Find your custom dosage and schedule here:

How do I take it?

Your package will contain your GLP-1 medication, syringes and alcohol wipes.

Be sure to keep your medication in the refrigerator. (DO NOT follow the dosing instructions on the packaging! Follow your custom dosage in your Modern Weight Loss Portal.)

Wash your hands (or use hand sanitizer).

Remove the cap at the bottom of the syringe.

With the alcohol pad, wipe clean the top of the medication bottle port.

Take the cap off the needle end of the syringe.

Insert the needle into the top port of the bottle. Inject air into the vial before each injection is drawn out of it (or you'll end up with a vacuum that's difficult to get meds out of) then invert the bottle with the syringe.

Recommended injection sites: stomach (2 inches from your belly button), upper arm, thigh. (Avoid scars, bruises, blood vessels or muscles.)

Pull the syringe plunger to fill the syringe with medication (hint: pull the plunger slightly past the recommended dosage, then push it back up to remove any air pockets).

Insert needle at a 45-degree angle into your preferred injection site (you may choose to pinch your skin) with slow, steady pressure until the full dose is administered.

What to expect

HOW FAST WILL IT START WORKING - the first 4 weeks? You may witness early signs of weight loss. These can include a reduction in appetite and an increased feeling of fullness after meals.

HOW FAST WILL IT START WORKING - weeks 5 through 20? During weeks 5-20, appetite is influenced, and more significant weight loss usually occurs.

HOW FAST WILL IT START WORKING - after 20 weeks? Long-term use can lead to sustained weight loss and improvements in overall metabolic health. For best results, use GLP-1s in conjunction with a healthy eating and exercise program.

WHAT TYPE OF DIET SHOULD I FOLLOW? GLP-1s help slow down digestion, which means overeating or eating foods that take a long time to digest could result in nausea, stomach pain, gas, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea. See our video series below for help.

ARE THERE SIDE EFFECTS? Dizziness, fatigue, gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea, constipation, gassiness, and headaches may be a common reaction to the injection. GLP-1s can also cause redness, itching, or swelling at the injection site, which may accompany tiredness. You must keep track of your symptoms, and if they persist, contact your clinician for further advice or dose adjustments.

What else should I know?

Metabolic rates differ from person to person, influencing how quickly your body responds to semaglutide. Individuals with higher metabolic rates tend to process medications more quickly, meaning their bodies may metabolize and eliminate semaglutide at a faster rate. As a result, they may require higher doses or more frequent administration to achieve the desired results.

Conversely, those with lower metabolic rates may experience slower processing of GLP-1s, allowing the medication to stay in the body longer and leading to a more prolonged effect.

Adherence to your treatment plan is crucial for realizing the full weight-loss potential of GLP-1s. Following the prescribed dosage and treatment plan from your clinician plays a significant role.

Additionally, lifestyle factors such as dietary habits, exercise routines, adequate sleep, and stress management can impact the speed and extent of weight-loss results achieved with GLP-1s. Since GLP-1s act as an appetite suppressant, it may challenge proper nutritional intake, leading to potential side effects. To manage these, it is essential to maintain a nutritionally balanced diet and stay adequately hydrated.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which medication will I be on?

The medication you will be prescribed depends on your unique body and needs. We tailor the medication to you.

How fast can I lose weight?

Progress depends on your goals and how your body responds, but adjustments are made in real time for optimal results.

Do I need to visit your office?

Our program is accessible nationwide through any device with a camera, offering you convenience and privacy.

Are there any side effects?

The response to weight loss medication varies from person to person and from medication to medication. This is why we take a more precision medicine approach and use precision to maximize results and minimize side effects.

Is the program covered by my insurance?

We will provide you with superbills that you may submit to your insurance carrier. We have elected to be cash-pay to keep the costs down and avoid insurance companies managing your care protocol.

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide stands out as a significant force in the weight management medication sector, recognized medically as a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. The FDA approved Semaglutide for weight loss in 2021.

How does Semaglutide work?

Semaglutide is your partner in overcoming unwanted weight. It strategically slows your digestion, helping you feel full longer and minimizing the temptation to indulge. As a GLP-1 receptor agonist, it ingeniously mimics a hormone your body naturally produces to manage blood sugar levels, making it a crucial component of your weight loss strategy.

Taking Semaglutide is simple and barely intrusive. The drug is administered via an injection into the fatty tissue near your love handles with a slim, short needle, engineered to ensure minimal discomfort. The majority of users experience little to no pain, seamlessly integrating it into your wellness regimen.

How much weight can I expect to lose in 365 days?

Everyone's path to weight loss is distinct, yet on average, you could witness a decrease of up to 15% in your body weight within a year. Typically, the greater your initial weight, the more substantial the potential reduction. This program is tailored to assist you in achieving significant and discernible outcomes.

Does Semaglutide have side effects?

Semaglutide may cause side effects, primarily affecting the digestive system, including nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea. With this in mind, our team utilizes a specialized approach to administer Semaglutide, aimed at reducing these side effects. When you decide to proceed with this treatment, we will provide you with detailed instructions and information about our distinct method, facilitating a more comfortable and manageable experience with the medication.

What does Semaglutide dosing look like?

A frequently noted issue with Semaglutide is its potential to cause digestive-related side effects, including nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal discomfort, abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea. To alleviate these concerns, our team has crafted a proprietary technique for administering Semaglutide. Comprehensive guidance and instructions on this innovative method will be made available to you upon your purchase, guaranteeing a more pleasant and successful treatment experience.

How do you administer Semaglutide?

Modern Weight Loss has developed a method for administering Semaglutide that greatly minimizes the chance of encountering adverse side effects. Moving away from the standard prefilled pens, this technique employs a vial and syringes for a more direct application. The medication is delivered via an injection into the fatty tissue near your love handles, utilizing a fine, short needle engineered to ensure the least discomfort possible. The majority of users experience negligible to no pain. You can be confident that you will be provided with all necessary supplies for the procedure – including syringes, alcohol prep pads, and the medication itself.

Will insurance cover my prescription?

Semaglutide is mainly used as a treatment for diabetes and has not received FDA approval for weight loss purposes. Nonetheless, if it aligns with your health objectives, our clinical team may consider 'off-label' prescribing. Typically, insurance plans do not cover such off-label use. However, there's a silver lining: you have the option to use your Health Savings Account (HSA) to afford the medication, making it a practical choice for your weight management efforts.

Can my prescription be used for people with specific health conditions or on medication?

Certain medical conditions, particularly those related to the heart and kidneys, may prevent you from safely using this kit. Upon purchase, you will be required to complete an intake form detailing your health history. Should your form meet our approval criteria, your kit will be dispatched to you. However, if your application does not meet the necessary health standards, a full refund will be issued to you within 72 hours.

Can my prescription be used with other supplements or medications?

Likely, yes. However, to prevent any possible interactions, it's crucial to disclose all supplements and medications you're currently using on your telehealth intake form.

What happens after the 140 day supply?

As you approach the completion of your 140-day transformation and begin to observe tangible results, you may be inspired to sustain your progress. Close to the end of your existing supply, we'll present you with choices for ongoing treatment. This ensures you can preserve your achievements and keep advancing in your weight loss journey.

Is there a recommended dietary or exercise regimen to follow with this prescription?

Although not required, incorporating a nutritious diet and consistent exercise can amplify the benefits of the injections. Participants in our program receive personalized nutrition and exercise plans tailored to their specific biomarkers, with adjustments made periodically to reflect their advancements.

Will my order be secure?

All orders are processed with 2048-bit encryption, ensuring a level of security on par with that employed by top banks.

How soon will I receive my order? 

Your intake form will be evaluated within two business days. Upon approval, your kit will be dispatched in a cold pack through UPS, ensuring it reaches your doorstep within 14 days.
