Losing weight is hard. Like, really hard.

We know because - guess what - we struggle to.

 

GLP-1RAs are a game changer.

By now everyone has heard about GLP-1: Glucagon-like peptide-1, the hormone that helps regulate blood sugar and insulin levels and promotes feelings of fullness. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are a class of drugs that mimic the actions of GLP-1. While GLP-1RAs were developed to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity, many people are successfully using them to lose weight.

 

Are GLP1RAs right for you?

At Balanced Healthcare we do prescribe GLP1RAs for patients seeking weight loss - and we see some pretty impressive results! Our individualized approach sets us apart by utilizing custom-formulated dosing uniquely compounded for each individual to ensure you are getting exactly the right dosing.

With GLP1RAs one size does NOT fit all!

 

We also teach you how to self-administer the medication, so there's no constant running back and forth to the clinic every week. We support your weight loss journey through periodic in-person or virtual follow-up visits designed to fit your individual lifestyle, and we provide medication delivered directly to your door from our partner pharmacies.

​

Why GLP-1RAs may not work for you.

At Balanced Healthcare, we have been managing weight loss - including administering GLP-1RAs - for many years. As it turns out, not everyone has success with the "miracle drug". People with high emotional, physical or psychological stress; and those who are Leptin-resistant may not see good results from GLP-1RAs.

 

That's why we use a different approach to weight loss -

one that addresses each unique person and their environment.

​

A Comprehensive Approach.

At Balanced Healthcare we address the complete person - we don't just prescribe and move on. We take time to get to know YOU - and your unique personal and environmental challenges that lead to weight gain in the first place. Hormone imbalances, gut issues, chronic stress, lifestyle challenges, even your occupation and living situation impact your ability to lose weight and keep it off. We take the time to get to know you and provide a comprehensive, personalized strategy to address the underlying factors that contribute to weight issues.

 

Our proven formula of combining both functional medicine practices and conventional therapies are designed to help you achieve long term success. By addressing the underlying contributors to your weight issues, we can help you tap into your bodies natural ability to maintain a healthy weight.
