How GLP-1 Weight Loss Injections Can Help
GLP-1 medicines copy a natural gut hormone that acts on the parts of your brain that control appetite. Many people find they feel less hungry and full sooner.
Alongside healthy eating and activity, weight loss injections can offer:
- More weight loss than lifestyle changes alone
- Help with the hunger that makes cutting back so hard
- A once-a-week shot, rather than a daily routine
- Support from Hetal at every step, with check-ins along the way

A Plan Built Around You, Not Just a Shot
We don’t believe in quick fixes, and a weight loss injection isn’t one. These medicines work best as part of a program that includes how you eat and move.
That’s why Hetal pairs your injection with nutrition coaching and regular check-ins. She looks at your health history first, starts you on a plan you can actually keep, and adjusts it as you go.
“I was looking for a program that helps me to meet my goals but most importantly gain tools that help me to make better choices and change habits by understanding my body better. You get that here, with someone who listens.”
Is a Weight Loss Injection Right for You?
You may be a candidate if you have:
- A BMI of 30 or more
- A BMI of 27 or more and a weight-related health problem, such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes
If injections aren’t the right fit, Hetal can build a plan without them through our medical weight loss program.
Who Oversees Your Weight Loss Plan
Hetal prescribes and oversees every weight loss plan at our practice, and she does the nutrition coaching herself. She’s been a nurse practitioner for about 15 years.
Weight is personal for her too. After her second child, she rebuilt her health through nutrition, fitness, and self-care, and that’s the kind of lasting change she helps patients make.
Common Questions About Weight Loss Injections
How much do weight loss injections cost?
The cost of weight loss injections depends on your plan, including your dose and how often you check in. Call before you book, and our team will go over current pricing with you, so you know your number before your consultation.
How much weight can I lose with weight loss injections?
In studies, people taking GLP-1 weight loss medicines lost about 3% to 12% more of their starting weight than people making lifestyle changes alone, with most of the loss in the first six months. Your own results depend on your health, your plan, and how your body responds.
What are the side effects of weight loss injections?
Most side effects of weight loss medicines are mild and tend to ease the longer you take them. Serious side effects are rare. Hetal goes over what to watch for before you start and checks in with you along the way.
What happens when I stop weight loss injections?
Most people regain some weight after stopping a weight loss medicine. Keeping up healthy eating and activity can help you regain less, which is why Hetal builds those habits into your plan from the start.
Who shouldn’t take weight loss injections?
GLP-1 weight loss injections aren’t for anyone who is pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding, or who has a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2. Hetal reviews your full health history before recommending one.
