Navigated to Calibrate Weight Loss Medication: Prescription GLP-1s
Skip To Main

Kickstart results with GLP-1 Medication

Calibrate clinicians only prescribe GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Zepound®) because research shows, in combination with 1:1 video coaching and lifestyle changes, they are the most effective for weight loss.

GLP-1 Medications Fight Weight With Biology

GLP-1s are different from older classes of prescription weight loss medications (like phentermine) because they work on key underlying metabolic pathways to support sustained weight loss. They're not just another quick fix. Calibrate clinicians prescribe a variety of GLP-1 medications, including semaglutide and liraglutide, which you may know under brand names like Wegovy®, Saxenda®, Ozempic®, Zepbound®, or Mounjaro®.

REDUCE INFLAMMATION

GLP-1s are clinically proven to reduce inflammation markers, leading to decreased inflammatory response and oxidative stress. CRP (C-reactive protein), a general inflammatory marker, is one marker we may follow during your Metabolic Reset.

SHIFT SET POINT

GLP-1s aid in shifting your body’s set point (the weight your body fights to maintain) by impacting areas in the brain—to help curb cravings, make you feel full faster, and increase your energy expenditure.

REGULATE DIGESTION

GLP-1s slow how quickly food moves from the stomach to the intestines. This helps you feel full for longer by regulating sugar absorption in the intestine.

IMPROVE METABOLIC FUNCTION

GLP-1s regulate blood sugar levels by increasing insulin and decreasing glucagon—only when blood sugar levels are high. GLP-1s also improve whole-body energy metabolism by increasing insulin sensitivity of muscle cells and regulating fat cell development.

The GLP-1 Medications Calibrate clinicians Prescribe

Calibrate clinicians prescribe Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists, GLP-1s for short—because research shows that when combined with lifestyle changes, they're the safest and most effective approach to achieve sustainable weight loss. 

Your Calibrate Medical Team determines which medication is clinically appropriate for you. GLP-1 and combined GLP-1/GIP medications work on your body’s own receptors to decrease appetite, increase satiety, and regulate insulin and glucose. Calibrate’s approach combines our research-backed behavior change program with medications in the GLP-1 category (because they are proven to be most effective for metabolic health and weight loss), which enhance each other.
