Lose Weight With Local Functional Medicine and
Safe GLP‑1 and GLP‑2 Plans.

Semaglutide and tirzepatide are the two most common. Your provider reviews your lab results, medical history, and goals, then recommends the one most likely to work for your metabolic profile. If the first option is not the right fit, we adjust.

Most patients lose 15 to 20 percent of their body weight over 6 to 12 months. But the real difference is that we treat the metabolic cause, not just appetite, so the weight stays off. Patients who only take GLP-1s without metabolic support regain two-thirds of the weight within a year of stopping. Our patients do not, because the underlying problem is fixed.

No. We will not prescribe a GLP-1 until we have your lab results. If your fasting insulin is normal and your thyroid is fine, a GLP-1 might not even be the right first step. The medication is one tool inside a larger protocol that includes hormone optimization, gut health support, nutrient repletion, and lifestyle guidance.

Fasting insulin, full thyroid panel (TSH, free T3, free T4, thyroid antibodies), morning cortisol, estradiol, testosterone, DHEA-S, inflammatory markers like hs-CRP, and key nutrients like vitamin D, B12, and ferritin. These markers tell us exactly where your metabolism is breaking down.

The most common are mild nausea and reduced appetite in the first two to four weeks. These almost always fade as your body adjusts. We start at a low dose and increase slowly. If side effects persist, we adjust the protocol rather than push through.

That is the whole point of testing and treating the root cause. If we correct your insulin resistance, optimize your thyroid, and rebalance your hormones while you are on the medication, your body can maintain the new weight without it. We build an exit plan into every protocol.

We give you nutrition guidance based on your lab results. If you are insulin resistant, we will steer you toward lower-glycemic eating. If your cortisol is high, we address meal timing and stress-related eating patterns. There is no generic meal plan. The food recommendations come from your bloodwork.

Every 4 to 6 weeks during active weight loss. Each visit includes a progress review and, when needed, updated labs to make sure the protocol is working. Telehealth is available for follow-ups if you cannot make it in person.

Yes, and in many cases those conditions are the reason the weight will not come off. We treat thyroid dysfunction and hormonal conditions like PCOS as part of the weight loss protocol, not as separate problems. Fixing those often unlocks weight loss that was previously impossible.

Telehealth apps prescribe the medication without testing your metabolism first. That is like prescribing glasses without an eye exam. At Med Matrix, we run full metabolic bloodwork, identify the specific hormonal and metabolic issues keeping the weight on, build a protocol around those findings, and monitor your labs throughout treatment. The medication alone is not the solution. The testing and the protocol around it are what make the results last.
