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.

benefits

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

Is this treatment compatible with menopausal hormone therapy (MHT)?

In most cases, yes. Recent data published in The Lancet suggest that combining GLP-1 medication with menopausal hormone therapy may improve fat loss after menopause. This combination is assessed at the initial medical consultation.

Will I regain weight when treatment ends?

Whether results last depends on the habits you build during the program. Our combined medical prescription, nutrition guidance and body composition follow-up aim to support changes beyond medication use.

Are there side effects?

The most common side effects are digestive, such as mild nausea or changes in bowel habits, especially at the start. They usually pass and can be reduced by increasing the dose gradually. Our physicians monitor you closely and adjust the plan as needed.

Am I a good candidate for this program?

This program may suit women with a BMI of 27 or higher and related factors such as insulin resistance, persistent abdominal fat or menopause, or a BMI of 30 or higher. An initial medical consultation confirms eligibility and checks contraindications.
