Our approach

What is the GLP-1 weight management program?

At DGB Clinic, we understand that menopause-related changes in weight and body shape are influenced by biology, not willpower alone.


Our medical program may include GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as semaglutide or tirzepatide, prescribed and monitored by our physicians as part of a personalized plan for appetite, blood sugar and metabolic health.

Treatment goals

Targeted metabolic support

GLP-1-based medicines affect appetite and fullness and slow stomach emptying, which can support a gradual reduction in food intake.


The technique:

Treatment is self-injected under the skin once a week, with doses increased gradually as appropriate. Your plan takes medical history, body mass index and goals into account.


Benefits:

  • May reduce abdominal and visceral fat.

  • May improve blood sugar and cardiometabolic measures.

  • Clinical trials report average weight loss of about 14% to 22% with certain medicines and treatment plans.

  • Can be considered during perimenopause or menopause when medically appropriate.

  • Personalized medical monitoring.

Expected results

Immediate effect

Changes in appetite may appear in the first weeks. Weight loss can become measurable after the first month, though individual results vary.

Evolution :

In STEP and SURMOUNT clinical trials, average weight loss ranged from about 14% to 22% of starting weight over 12 to 18 months, depending on the medicine and study. Individual results vary.

Duration:

The program may last three to twelve months, depending on your goals. Ongoing habits and follow-up care can help sustain results.

FAQ

Your questions, answered

Ce traitement est-il compatible avec un traitement hormonal de la ménopause (THM) ?

Oui, dans la plupart des cas. Des données récentes publiées dans The Lancet suggèrent que l'association GLP-1 et THM pourrait même potentialiser la perte de masse grasse chez les femmes post-ménopausées. Cette combinaison est évaluée lors de la consultation médicale initiale.

Est-ce que je vais reprendre le poids à l'arrêt du traitement ?

La durabilité des résultats dépend des habitudes de vie consolidées pendant le programme. Notre approche intégrée — prescription médicale, conseils nutritionnels et suivi de la composition corporelle — vise à ancrer des changements durables au-delà de la prise médicamenteuse.

Y a-t-il des effets secondaires ?

Les effets indésirables les plus fréquents sont digestifs (nausées légères, transit modifié), surtout en début de traitement. Ils sont transitoires et minimisés grâce à la titration progressive des doses. Nos médecins assurent un suivi rapproché pour ajuster le protocole si nécessaire.

Suis-je une bonne candidate pour ce programme ?

Ce programme est particulièrement adapté aux femmes présentant un IMC ≥ 27 avec des facteurs associés (résistance à l'insuline, graisse abdominale persistante, contexte ménopausique) ou un IMC ≥ 30. Une consultation médicale initiale permet de confirmer l'admissibilité et d'éliminer toute contre-indication.
