GLP-1 Weight Loss Injections
Injectable Peptide Therapy for Weight Loss & Metabolic Health
VitaTherapy offers GLP-1 injectable therapies, a medically guided approach to weight loss and metabolic support. GLP-1 medications are FDA-approved and clinically proven to help regulate appetite, support blood sugar balance, and promote sustainable weight loss when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.
GLP-1 therapies have been approved for weight management since 2021 and are widely used in medical weight loss programs.
What Are GLP-1s?
GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) are injectable peptide medications that support weight loss by working with your body’s natural hormone signals.
These medications help:
- Reduce appetite and cravings
- Increase feelings of fullness
- Improve blood sugar regulation
- Support insulin sensitivity
By targeting both metabolic and appetite-related pathways, GLP-1s offer a comprehensive approach to weight management.
GLP-1 Medications We Offer
At Vitatherapy, treatment plans are personalized. Based on your goals, health history, and provider evaluation, we may recommend one of the following GLP-1 options:
- Tirzepatide
- Semaglutide
- Retatrutide
Your provider will help determine which option is most appropriate for your body and weight loss goals.
How GLP-1 Therapy Works
GLP-1 medications work by influencing key processes involved in weight and metabolic health:
- Stimulating insulin release when blood sugar levels are elevated
- Reducing glucagon production (a hormone that raises blood sugar)
- Slowing digestion to enhance satiety
- Activating appetite-control centers in the brain
This multi-action approach helps support steady, sustainable weight loss while improving metabolic balance.
Medical Weight Loss with GLP-1s
GLP-1 therapy is designed for adults who struggle with excess weight and have not achieved desired results through diet and exercise alone.
When combined with:
- A calorie-controlled diet
- Regular physical activity
- Ongoing medical guidance
GLP-1 injections have been shown to help individuals achieve significant and lasting weight loss.
Who May Be a Candidate?
According to current guidelines, GLP-1 weight loss injections may be appropriate for adults who have:
- A BMI of 30 or higher, or
- A BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related condition, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes
All patients must undergo a medical evaluation to determine eligibility.
Treatment & Administration
GLP-1 medications are administered as once-weekly subcutaneous injections, typically in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
Your provider will:
- Determine the appropriate medication and dosage
- Guide you through proper administration
- Monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed
A Holistic Approach to Weight Loss

Weight loss is more than calories in vs. calories out. Hormones—especially insulin—play a major role in how your body stores and uses energy.
GLP-1 therapy supports:
- Improved insulin sensitivity
- Better blood sugar regulation
- Reduced fat storage
- Enhanced metabolic efficiency
This holistic approach helps address the root causes of weight gain, not just the symptoms.

Activation of Satiety and Appetite-Control Centers in the Brain
GLP-1 receptor agonists work by interacting with key regions of the brain involved in appetite regulation, satiety, and energy balance. These medications help signal fullness sooner and reduce hunger cues, supporting healthier eating patterns and reduced caloric intake.
Research has shown that GLP-1 therapies influence areas of the brain such as the hypothalamus and brainstem, which play a central role in controlling appetite and food intake. By enhancing these natural signaling pathways, GLP-1 medications help patients feel satisfied with smaller portions and experience fewer cravings throughout the day.
In addition to appetite regulation, GLP-1 therapies are also associated with improved energy metabolism, further supporting sustainable weight loss and long-term metabolic health when combined with proper nutrition and lifestyle habits.
