If you’ve been researching weight loss solutions online, chances are you’ve come across GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. These innovative treatments—originally developed for managing Type 2 diabetes—have rapidly become some of the most effective and trusted tools for medical weight loss. Thanks to telehealth, accessing these medications is more convenient and private than ever.

Here’s exactly what you can expect when you book a telehealth appointment for GLP-1 weight loss support with Belle.

What Are GLP-1s, and Why Are They So Effective for Weight Loss?

GLP-1s (short for glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) are medications that mimic a natural hormone in the body responsible for regulating blood sugar, insulin, and appetite. For those looking to lose weight, these medications can help:

• Decrease appetite and reduce cravings
• Slow digestion to help you feel fuller longer
• Support consistent, sustainable weight loss
  

Commonly prescribed options include Semaglutide (used in Ozempic® and Wegovy®) and Tirzepatide (found in Mounjaro® and Zepbound™).

What Happens During Your Telehealth Appointment?

Whether you’re new to telehealth or familiar with virtual care, your appointment at Belle is designed to be straightforward, supportive, and tailored to your needs.

1. Complete a Brief Intake Form

You’ll start by filling out a confidential intake form with your medical history, current medications, and wellness goals. This helps your provider determine if GLP-1 therapy is the right fit for you.

2. Meet With a Licensed Provider

During your video visit, your provider will review your intake and discuss your goals, lifestyle, and medical background. You’ll have the chance to ask questions and learn more about how GLP-1s work.

3. Receive a Personalized Treatment Plan

If approved, your provider will create a treatment plan tailored to your body, goals, and lifestyle. This includes your medication, starting dosage, and how to begin treatment at home.

4. Medication Shipped to Your Door

Once prescribed, your GLP-1 medication is shipped directly to your home in secure, discreet packaging. Instructions for safe use are included to ensure you feel confident starting your treatment.

5. Ongoing Support and Adjustments

Weight loss is personal. That’s why Belle offers continued support and follow-ups to monitor your progress, adjust dosage if needed, and answer any questions along the way.
