GLP-1 Consultation
A dedicated appointment to establish whether a GLP-1 medication suits your health history and your goals, before any commitment. Side effects, contraindications and alternatives are all discussed, and leaving without a prescription is a reasonable outcome.

A Decision Made Without Pressure
Some patients turn out not to be suitable candidates, and Yve will say so rather than proceed. Others find that their goals would be better served by addressing nutrition, sleep, and metabolic health first, which functional medicine can approach directly. Those conversations happen here because there is time for them.
If a GLP-1 program is appropriate and you want to proceed, this consultation establishes the starting point: the baseline assessment, any laboratory work needed, the supervision schedule, and the nutritional and muscle preservation plan that runs alongside. If you would rather think about it, that is a perfectly reasonable outcome for the appointment.

Finding Out Whether It Is Right for You
GLP-1 medications are discussed constantly and understood unevenly. A consultation is a dedicated appointment to establish whether this approach suits your situation, before any commitment. Yve reviews your health history, current medications, previous attempts at weight management, and your goals, then explains honestly what this class of medication can and cannot do.
That includes the parts that are less often discussed. Contraindications, the gastrointestinal side effects most patients experience, the muscle loss that accompanies rapid weight reduction, the facial volume change that can leave the face looking drawn, and what happens when the medication stops. You should hear all of it before deciding, not afterward.
What a proper consultation establishes before any prescription is considered.

What will you need to know about me?
Your full health history, current medications and supplements, any personal or family history of relevant conditions, previous weight management attempts and how they went, and your goals. Recent laboratory results are helpful if you have access to them. Being thorough here is what makes the assessment meaningful.
Will I leave with a prescription?
Not necessarily, and that is by design. This appointment is for assessment and discussion. If further laboratory work is needed it will be arranged first, and if you want time to consider, that is encouraged rather than discouraged. Nothing is dispensed without a proper evaluation behind it.
What if I am not a candidate?
Yve will tell you plainly and explain why. Depending on the reason, there may be a different path toward your goals, and functional medicine can address metabolic health, nutrition, and the habits underneath weight in ways that are worth discussing. A no to one approach is not a no to help.
Should I consider this if I only want to lose a small amount?
Possibly not, and Yve will be candid about that. GLP-1 medication is a serious intervention with real considerations, and for a modest goal there are often better places to start. If small, stubborn pockets are the issue rather than overall weight, lipolysis injections may be the more sensible conversation.
Beauty should never be about changing who you are.
It should be about preserving what makes you uniquely you.
