Many adults struggle with weight management. Obesity can contribute to hormone dysfunction and increase risk of developing diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers. Maintaining a healthy weight has been shown to increase longevity.
GLP-1 medications, such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, are a breakthrough in medically supported weight loss backed by decades of research demonstrating their safety and effectiveness. These medications work by helping regulate appetite, improve insulin sensitivity, and promote fat metabolism, making it easier to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
Beyond weight loss, GLP-1s offer additional benefits such as improved blood sugar control, reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, and potential support for heart health. Recent studies have shown that combining GLP-1 therapy with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be a powerful combination, enhancing metabolic health and optimizing weight loss results.
At The Canal, we carefully dose GLP-1 medications to minimize side effects and focus on sustainable, long-term results. When combined with individualized care and lifestyle guidance and support, GLP-1 therapies can be a helpful tool in improving your overall metabolic wellness and long-term health, as well as helping you reach your weight loss goals.
Weight loss is a hormonal and metabolic journey. Preserving muscle mass, bone density and nutrient status is crucial. Our program includes evidence-based treatment, including GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide, when appropriate and focus on supporting long-term metabolic health and sustainable weight loss.
Step 1: Free Introductory Call
We’ll briefly discuss your health background, goals, and determine if our program is a good fit for you. The intro call is a supportive space to ask questions and explore your options.
Step 2: Initial Consultation ($250)
Your 30 minute consultation (in-person or virtual) includes comprehensive medical review, personalized treatment planning, and in-office lab draw. (If you have recent labs from within the last 6 months a $100 lab fee can be waived)
Consult fee is applied to your first month if you begin the program
Step 3: Start Your Medication ($500/month for GLP-1 options)
If you're a candidate, we’ll begin a tailored-to-you medication plan. This may include GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide - clinically proven to support weight loss by improving insulin sensitivity, reducing appetite, and promoting fat metabolism. Not a candidate for GLP-1s? We can discuss other options that are safe for you.
Step 4: Ongoing Support
We'll keep in touch with regular check-ins to track progress, make adjustments as needed and provide nutritional and lifestyle support along the way.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 medication originally developed for type 2 diabetes that has shown powerful benefits for weight loss. It works by helping regulate appetite, slow gastric emptying, and improve insulin sensitivity -making it easier to feel full and reduce cravings.
Tirzepatide is a next-generation medication that targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, enhancing its ability to regulate appetite, improve insulin sensitivity, and support significant fat loss. Studies have shown even greater weight loss results compared to semaglutide, making it a powerful option for those needing more robust metabolic support.
Retatrutide is a promising triple-action medication currently in clinical trials that targets GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors. Early research shows unprecedented weight loss potential, with added benefits for metabolism, insulin resistance, and fat burning. Though not yet FDA-approved, it represents an exciting future in obesity treatment.
LDN is an emerging tool in metabolic health that may support weight loss by improving insulin sensitivity, reducing inflammation, and helping regulate appetite. LDN can be a helpful adjunct especially for those with underlying issues like hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, or chronic inflammation.
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial peptide that enhances liver metabolism, improves insulin sensitivity, and supports metabolic flexibility. It helps regulate energy, boosts exercise capacity, and aids weight loss - especially in cases tied to aging or hormonal shifts. MOTS-c also supports glucose control, protects against metabolic stress, and promotes bone health.
AOD-9604 is a peptide originally developed from a portion of human growth hormone (HGH) that specifically targets fat breakdown without affecting blood sugar or muscle. It may help accelerate fat loss - particularly in areas resistant to diet and exercise- while being well tolerated and non-stimulatory.
