GLP-1 medications are still available at MPC, with programs starting at $100. With many online options no longer available, we offer doctor-supervised GLP-1 and peptide programs, including both prescription and non-prescription options depending on what’s right for you.
GLP-1 (Semaglutide)
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist that works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar. It tells your brain you’re full, helps you eat less, and slows down how fast your stomach empties. This leads to reduced cravings, smaller portions, long-lasting satiety, and improved blood sugar control.GLP-1 + GIP (Double G)
GIP (Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide) is a second gut hormone that works synergistically with GLP-1 to further enhance weight loss effects and improve insulin sensitivity. Double G Supports the same appetite-reducing benefits of GLP-, enhances fat metabolism and energy usage, provides better glucose balance, and may reduce gastrointestinal side effects compared to GLP-1 alone.What Are GLP-1 Based Therapies?
GLP-1-based weight management therapies use medications that mimic the body’s natural GLP-1 hormone to promote effective, medically supervised weight loss. These treatments work by reducing appetite, slowing digestion, and improving blood sugar control making them a powerful tool for people struggling with obesity or weight-related health issues.Which Option Is Right for You?
When it comes to weight management, finding the right solution is key. We offer a range of prescription-only treatments, each tailored to meet different needs and goals. Each treatment option is carefully chosen based on your personal health goals, helping you achieve sustainable weight loss with a plan tailored specifically to your needs. Here’s a breakdown of our options:GLP-1 (Semaglutide)
Best for those starting their weight loss journey or seeking a proven, steady method for reducing appetite and improving metabolic health. GLP-1 is a powerful medication that helps reduce appetite and promotes healthier metabolism. It’s an effective choice for individuals looking to lose weight gradually and safely, with consistent results.GLP-1 + GIP (Double G)
Best for those who have tried GLP-1 and are ready for a more advanced solution. This combination of GLP-1 and GIP (Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide) works synergistically to enhance weight loss. GIP is a gut hormone that helps improve insulin sensitivity while boosting the effects of GLP-1, leading to accelerated weight loss and improved metabolic function.Pricing
Programs start at $100, with both prescription and non-prescription options available. After your initial months, pricing is based on Dr. Berlanga’s individualized treatment recommendations. As your dosage and support needs adjust, some patients may see their monthly cost decrease, others may see a slight increase, and some remain the same—ensuring your plan (and pricing) aligns with what your body needs at each stage of your journey.Frequently Asked Questions
