We Prescribe GLP-1 Medication to Curb Appetite
Weight loss is often challenging. However, it is essential for the nearly three in four adults in the United States experiencing weight challenges. At AARC, DR Sarebahi offers GLP-1 medications, including compounded semaglutide (branded as Wegovy and Ozempic) and compounded tirzepatide (branded as Zepbound and Mounjaro) injections. Each of our patients gets prescribed a customized GLP-1 regiment that helps to reduce their appetite and cravings. These medications are all-natural and taken weekly, and helps each patient along their weight loss journey. Call to schedule your visit today.

We Provide Each Patient With A Personalized Weight Loss Plan
Weight loss is a simple calories in vs. calories out equation. However, each individual's metabolism is different. That's why each patient receives a custom plan that is dialed and tuned to their individual metabolic rates. We may introduce metabolism boosters and may also recommend diet & exercise plans.
Patients Meet With Our Representatives/ Trained Nurses Regularly
Unlike other weight loss clinics, our patients meet with dedicated nurses on a regular basis to track their progress. Our nurses will ensure you're losing the projected amount of weight each month, and will adjust your customized weight loss plan if necessary.
Patients Lose an Average of 10 to 15 Pounds Per Month
Through medication, regular check-ins, metabolism and hormone balancing, our patients can expect to lose 10 to 15 pounds per month. We believe that our unique approach to weight loss is KEY for delivering safe and sustainable results.
GLP-1 Medications Q & AWhat are GLP-1 medications?
GLP-1 medications available at AARC include compounded semaglutide (Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Zepbound and Mounjaro) injections. These medications enhance weight loss by reducing appetite, making achieving your desired body weight more manageable. GLP-1 medications optimize insulin release after a meal, slowing digestion and making you feel fuller. These medicines were initially used to treat Type 2 diabetes. However, more recently, they have been prescribed for weight loss. The staff at AARC create individualized weight loss plans that combine nutritional, medical, exercise, and behavioral therapies customized to your unique needs and lifestyle.
Who is a candidate for GLP-1 medications?
Nearly everyone who is overweight or obese, particularly individuals with Type 2 diabetes or other weight-related conditions, may benefit from GLP-1 medications. They're useful when combined with a healthy diet, exercise, sleep, and other healthy habits — especially if non-medicinal weight loss solutions haven’t worked. However, because of the potential for side effects, GLP-1 medicines should only be used under close guidance by your AARC Provider. People who shouldn’t use semaglutide or tirzepatide include pregnant women and individuals with personal or family histories of pancreatitis, medullary thyroid cancer, or multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN). If you have diabetes, monitor your blood sugar regularly.
Do GLP-1 medications cause any side effects?
GLP-1 medicines may cause side effects, such as:
● Nausea
● Vomiting
● Constipation
● Diarrhea
● Other gastrointestinal concerns
To reduce the risk of side effects, it’s helpful to gradually increase dosing and alter your eating patterns by consuming smaller, more frequent meals.
What should I expect when using GLP-1 medications?
● Safe, quick weight loss
● Reduced body fat
● More energy
● Lower risk of chronic diseases
● Improved disease management
● Better sleep
● Enhanced quality of life
● Nutrition, exercise, and behavioral counseling
● Self-confidence
● Improved overall wellness
● Lower blood pressure and cholesterol
● Better blood sugar control
