Lose the weight without losing yourself
Most weight programs push the highest tolerable dose and hope you can white-knuckle the side effects. We start low, move slowly, and build the muscle-sparing habits that make the result stick after you taper off.
What usually goes wrong
The three reasons this stays unsolved
The dose is too high, too fast
Standard GLP-1 titration schedules were designed for trials, not for people with jobs. Nausea and fatigue are the predictable result.
You lose muscle along with fat
Rapid weight loss without protein and resistance work costs you lean mass — which is the tissue that keeps your metabolism running.
Nothing happens after you stop
Without a taper and a maintenance plan, most of the weight comes back. The exit strategy matters as much as the medication.
Our approach
How we treat manage your weight
- 01
Start at a microdose
We typically begin at a fraction of the standard starting dose and hold there until your appetite signal changes.
- 02
Protect lean mass
Your clinician sets a protein floor and a resistance-training minimum, and we track them alongside the scale.
- 03
Titrate on evidence
Dose changes follow your reported hunger, side effects and weekly trend — not a fixed calendar.
- 04
Plan the taper
From day one, we work toward the lowest effective dose and a maintenance protocol you can hold.
What changes
What patients report
- Quieter food noise within the first few weeks
- Gradual, sustainable loss rather than a crash
- Fewer GI side effects than standard titration
- A written maintenance plan before you taper
“I'd tried a full-dose GLP-1 twice and quit both times from nausea. The microdose approach is the first thing that's worked — down 24 lbs in five months and I've never had a day where I couldn't work.”

Protocols
What microdosing a GLP-1 actually means
The molecule is the same. The dosing philosophy is the entire difference — and it's why some people tolerate it and others quit in week three.
Metabolic health
Muscle is the point
Losing weight is easy to measure and easy to get wrong. The composition of what you lose determines whether the result holds.
Protocols
What happens when you stop a GLP-1
Regain is the most predictable thing about these medications, and the least planned for. Here's the exit strategy.
