Weight Loss/GLP-1's

Why Weight Loss Is More Than Diet and Exercise

Weight gain isn’t just about willpower — medical, hormonal, environmental, and lifestyle factors can make weight loss extremely challenging:

• Hormonal imbalances (thyroid issues, insulin resistance, sex hormone disruptions)
• Chronic stress and high cortisol levels
• Insulin resistance and cardiometabolic issues
• Toxin exposure disrupting endocrine function
• Metabolic slowdowns and digestive dysfunction

At ARA Integrative, we identify and treat these root causes so weight loss becomes achievable and maintainable.

What to Expect in Your Weight-Loss Consultation

During your consultation with Dr. Kapoor:

• Review of your medical history, lifestyle, and diet
• Physical exam and targeted lab testing
• Identification of metabolic and hormonal contributors
• Customized treatment plan tailored to your goals

This plan may include diet and lifestyle changes, supplements, exercise guidance, targeted injections, and therapeutic support to promote sustainable, long-term weight loss.

GLP-1 Therapy: What It Is & How It Works

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) medications support weight loss by mimicking a natural hormone involved in appetite and blood sugar regulation. GLP-1 therapy helps by:

• Reducing appetite and cravings
• Increasing feelings of fullness
• Slowing digestion
• Supporting insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control

GLP-1 medications are not a stand-alone solution. At ARA Integrative, they are used as part of a holistic, physician-guided weight-loss plan.

Benefits of GLP-1-Supported Weight Loss

In addition to weight reduction, GLP-1 therapy may help support:

• Improved blood sugar regulation
• Cardiometabolic health
• Healthier cholesterol and lipid levels
• Long-term appetite control

Dr. Kapoor carefully determines whether GLP-1 therapy is appropriate based on your medical history, goals, and lab results.

What to Expect During GLP-1 Treatment

Our team ensures you understand how therapy works and what to expect:

• Prescriptions are based on your health history and goals
• Injections are administered in-office or taught for safe at-home use
• Some patients experience temporary side effects such as nausea, loss of appetite, or gastrointestinal symptoms
• Follow-up allows us to track progress and adjust therapy

Our goal is to support safe, effective, and sustainable weight loss.s

Additional Weight Loss & Metabolic Support Options

To enhance results, your plan may also include:

• GLP-1 + GIP injections to support metabolism and inflammation balance
• MIC (lipotropic) injections to assist fat metabolism and liver function
• Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) for energy and metabolic support

These therapies are used strategically to complement lifestyle and medical treatment.
