HormoneSynergy® launches integrative GLP-1 Agonist Weight Loss in Oregon

HormoneSynergy®, under the direction of Dr. Kathryn Retzler offers the most integrative and comprehensive GLP-1 weight loss program available, incorporating GLP-1 agonists and designed to support overall health and longevity, maximizing the benefits of the medication. Here are some key components:

1. Medical Evaluation: Before starting a GLP-1 agonist, patients will undergo a thorough medical evaluation by Dr. Retzler. This evaluation includes assessing medical history, current health status, and any existing medical conditions to determine the appropriateness of GLP-1 agonist therapy.

2. Prescription and Administration: Once deemed appropriate, Dr. Retzler will prescribe the GLP-1 agonist medication that is right for you at the appropriate dose and frequency. These medications are typically administered via injection, weekly, depending on the specific formulation.

3. Lifestyle Modification: Our functional medicine approach to weight loss emphasizes lifestyle modifications, including dietary changes and increased physical activity. This will involve working with a certified functional medicine practitioner to develop a personalized meal plan that supports weight loss goals while ensuring adequate nutrition. Additionally, incorporating regular exercise into daily routines can enhance weight loss efforts and improve overall health.

4. Behavioral Support: Behavioral counseling and support play a crucial role in successful weight loss. Behavioral interventions suggested by your functional medicine practitioner may include setting realistic goals, identifying barriers to weight loss, developing strategies for overcoming obstacles, and learning healthy coping mechanisms for managing stress and emotions.

5. Monitoring and Follow-up: Regular monitoring and follow-up appointments with Dr. Retzler and your functional medicine practitioner are essential to track progress, assess medication efficacy and safety, and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. This may involve monitoring weight, blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and other relevant health markers.

6. Education and Support: Education about the medication, its mechanism of action, potential side effects, and adherence to treatment are important components of a GLP-1 agonist weight loss program. You will be provided ongoing support and resources to address any concerns or questions you may have to promote adherence to your treatment plan.

7. Long-Term Management: Weight loss maintenance is a key consideration in any weight loss program. Long-term management strategies focus on sustaining healthy lifestyle habits, including continued adherence to medication, dietary modifications, regular physical activity, and ongoing support from healthcare providers and other sources.

By incorporating these components into our comprehensive weight loss program, you, our patients maximize the benefits of GLP-1 agonists while promoting sustainable weight loss and overall health improvements.
