Weight Loss With GLP-1 in Holladay, Utah

What is it?

GLP-1 is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue that stimulates the secretion of insulin from pancreatic beta cells in response to elevated blood glucose levels. It is an FDA Approved medication for weight loss. GLP-1 delays gastric emptying to make you feel full for longer and decreases your appetite, leading to reduced food intake and weight loss.

How does it work?

Initially you will come in for a consultation to be approved as a candidate to receive GLP-1 injections. The injections are administered subcutaneously to the back of your arm or in your belly once a week with a teeny tiny needle. If you are not able to come in weekly, we will educate you on how to self-administer the injections at home. Every week you will be reassessed to adjust your dosing. Once you have achieved your goal weight, we will slowly titrate down your dosing until you are done.

How much is it?

The first month you come in weekly for a total of 4 weeks. It is $500 for the first month for the weight loss program.

After the first month you can take home the medication monthly to self-administer and this only costs $400/month.

If you would like to add on B12 shots to help with energy and nausea you can add them on for $15/injection or a package of 4 for only $50.

Contraindications/ Side effects

If you have a personal or family history of thyroid nodules or thyroid cancer (such as Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia, type 2) you will not be eligible for this treatment. Other thyroid diseases are approved to receive GLP-1.

As with any medication, there are always some side effects. You may notice some bloating, loss of appetite, nausea or abdominal pain. Nausea usually lessens as you continue to take GLP-1. We also offer vitamin B12 shots to help with nausea.

Frequently Asked Questions

The biggest thing to keep in mind with any weight loss program is that everyone’s body reacts differently. A healthy average for our patients is about 4-8 pounds per month. It’s typical with any type of weight loss journey to see potential plateaus where your weight loss may slow down or stop. Losing weight slowly is not a bad thing, our providers prefer for you to take it slowly as it has been more conducive to maintaining your goal weight when you come off the medication. It is extremely important to establish healthy eating and physical activity habits, not only will it help with the weight loss but also help you keep it off when you finish your journey with us.
Of course! Your first month is a little trickier but we will work with you if you won’t be able to make it to your weekly appointment. We have patients that travel internationally and domestically with the medication. We recommend packing your injections in an insulated water bottle with a couple small cold packs to keep the medication cold until you can store them in the fridge at your destination. Tip: Keep the small cold packs we send you home with at your monthly check-ins-they work very well for packing.
Whether you have reached your health goal or need to stop for other reasons we are here for you! In the case you have reached your health goal and are ready to stop we recommend titrating off of the medication which means you will slowly decrease the dosage you take weekly until you are at the lowest dosage. We have noticed with maintaining your health goal our patients have been more successful if they slowly titrate off the medication rather than abruptly stop. If you need to stop for another reason such as financial constraint, a surgery or many other reasons there is no medical need to continue the medication. In any case we want you to chat with one of our nurses to help guide you!
One of the most important aspects of starting GL-P1 is to establish good eating and physical activity habits. Though it is an incredible medication and will assist you in reaching your goal it is no miracle. Like, any weight loss if you go back to less healthy habits you will gain the weight back. It is very common to see a fluctuation of 5-10lbs after finishing your program but continuing to rely on those healthy habits can help you maintain your weight loss.

Weight Loss with GLP-1 Injections in Salt Lake City, Utah

At Modern SLC, we offer GLP-1 weight loss programs, including Semaglutide and Tirzepatide weight loss therapy, where you are medically supervised to help you achieve sustainable weight loss. Whether you’re looking for medical weight loss in Utah or seeking professional treatment specifically in the Salt Lake area, our experienced team is here to support you in your weight loss journey. Nothing compares to individualized, in person care. We know you have a lot of options, but we promise you are highly trained, educated professionals will give you the best experience and outcome.

How Does GLP-1 Therapy Work?

To begin your weight loss journey, you will first come in for a consultation to determine if you’re a candidate for Semaglutide or Tirzepatide weight loss therapy. Once approved, GLP-1 injections are administered subcutaneously (with a teeny tiny needle-we promise you can hardly feel it!) to the back of your arm or your belly. You’ll typically receive an injection once a week, and our team will guide you on how to self-administer at home, if needed.

We’ll continue to monitor your progress and adjust your dosage weekly to ensure optimal results. THIS IS WHAT SETS OUR PROGRAM APART-individualized dosing based on you and your body’s response. Once you’ve reached your desired weight, we’ll gradually lower your dosage until you can stop treatment altogether. It is CRITICAL that you slowly titrate up and slowly titrate down. This is where most programs fail and why so many people can have a bad experience. We’ve learned how to do things for clients to optimize their results and provide long lasting, sustainable results.

What is GLP-1?

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a naturally occurring hormone that plays a role in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite. As an FDA-approved medication for both diabetes and weight loss, GLP-1 works by delaying gastric emptying, making you feel full longer and decreasing your appetite. This combination of effects leads to reduced food intake, resulting in significant and sustained weight loss.

How Much Does GLP-1 Weight Loss Therapy Cost?

  • First Month: Your initial treatment involves weekly visits for 4 weeks for as low as $299.
  • Ongoing Treatment: After the first month, you can take home the medication and self-administer, reducing your cost to $400 per month for Semaglutide and $600 per month for Tirzepatide.
  • Additional Services: You can also add vitamin B12 shots to support energy levels and reduce nausea, priced at $15 per shot or $50 for a package of 4 shots.

GLP-1 Contraindications and Potential Side Effects

While Semaglutide and Tirzepatide therapy is safe for most people, there are some important considerations:

  • Contraindications: If you have a personal or family history of thyroid cancer or thyroid disease (such as Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2), you may not be eligible for treatment. However, other thyroid diseases are approved for GLP-1 therapy.
  • Side Effects: Common side effects may include bloating, nausea, or abdominal pain. These tend to decrease over time as your body adjusts to the treatment. For those experiencing nausea, B12 shots are available to help alleviate discomfort.
