GLP-1’s for Weight Loss
GLP-1 medications, short for glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, have emerged as a groundbreaking class of drugs in the management of type 2 diabetes. These medications mimic the action of the naturally occurring hormone GLP-1, which plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels.
One of the key benefits of GLP-1 medications is their ability to stimulate insulin secretion from the pancreas in response to elevated blood sugar levels, leading to improved glucose control. Additionally, GLP-1 medications inhibit glucagon secretion, reduce appetite, and slow down gastric emptying, all of which contribute to lower blood sugar levels and weight loss.
Unlike some other diabetes medications that may cause weight gain or hypoglycemia, GLP-1 medications offer the unique advantage of promoting weight loss while minimizing the risk of low blood sugar levels. This dual action on both glucose control and weight management makes GLP-1 medications an attractive option for individuals with type 2 diabetes, particularly those who struggle with obesity.
Program Options & Pricing
Functional Family Medicine offers two GLP-1 weight loss program options:
Provider-Managed Weight Loss Program — $400–$600 per month depending on medication choice
- Weekly in-office visits with your provider
- Close clinical oversight, structured support, and medication adjustment
- Best for patients who benefit from accountability and high-touch care
At-Home GLP-1 Program — Pricing varies by medication and dose
- Medication delivered directly to your home
- Provider visits at standard membership cadence

Final pricing for either program is determined at your initial consultation based on the medication selected (semaglutide or tirzepatide) and the dose appropriate for your specific case. We don’t publish a single “starting at” price because patients on different medications and doses pay different amounts — and we’d rather quote you accurately than surprise you later.
