Feet on a scale with tape measure — weight loss monitoring

Weight Loss Therapy

Rewiring hunger signals. Reshaping metabolic health.
Reclaiming control.

At Teleios Functional Wellness, PLLC, we believe sustainable weight loss goes deeper than willpower—it’s biology. Through our GLP-1 weight loss telehealth in Florida, GLP-1 receptor agonists are one tool we use to help patients break cycles of cravings, insulin resistance, and weight gain—paired with nutrition, sleep, and movement coaching.

What Are GLP-1s?

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a natural gut hormone released after you eat. It helps regulate blood sugar, slows gastric emptying, improves insulin sensitivity, and signals fullness to the brain. In our Florida telehealth GLP-1 weight-loss program, we leverage these effects with careful dosing, monitoring, and lifestyle coaching.

GLP-1 medications are synthetically engineered versions of the GLP-1 hormone that extend its effect, helping regulate appetite and blood sugar over a longer window. Originally approved for type 2 diabetes, several GLP-1s are also FDA-approved for chronic weight management. In our Florida telehealth GLP-1 program, we use careful dosing and monitoring alongside nutrition, sleep, and movement to support metabolic health—especially for people with insulin resistance, PCOS, or plateaued weight despite consistent effort.

 

Who Benefits from GLP-1 Therapy?

GLP-1s may be a good fit if you:
  • Have struggled with weight loss despite healthy habits
  • Are dealing with insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, or prediabetes
  • Have PCOS and experience intense hunger or carb cravings
  • Want to reduce visceral fat and support cardiovascular health
  • Need to stabilize blood sugar and lower chronic inflammation
  • Feel like your appetite is out of control despite trying everything
They’re not a magic fix — but for the right patient, GLP-1s can help restore metabolic flexibility, support fat loss (especially visceral fat), and give you the margin you need to make sustainable lifestyle changes.

What About GLP-1/GIP Dual Agonists?

In addition to GLP-1-only medications, we also use GLP-1/GIP dual agonists — for certain patients who may benefit from more comprehensive metabolic support.

So, what’s GIP?
GIP stands for glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, another hormone involved in insulin signaling, blood sugar regulation, and appetite control. Like GLP-1, it’s released by the gut in response to food — but it works through a slightly different mechanism.
When used together in one medication, GLP-1 and GIP create a synergistic effect:
  • Greater appetite suppression
  • Improved insulin sensitivity
  • Better fat loss, especially visceral fat
  • Enhanced glucose control
  • Stronger effects on lowering inflammation and cardiovascular risk
This dual approach essentially mimics the body’s natural hormone response to eating — but in a more amplified, therapeutic way. Many patients respond even better to GLP-1/GIP combinations than GLP-1s alone, particularly if they’ve hit a plateau with weight loss or struggle with insulin resistance, PCOS, or stubborn belly fat.
At Teleios Functional Wellness, PLLC we assess each patient’s metabolic needs, hormone levels, and goals to determine whether a GLP-1-only or a dual GLP-1/GIP agonist is the better fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Weight loss varies. Most patients lose 1–2 pounds per week once the dose is optimized. But our goal isn’t just weight loss — it’s improved body composition, blood sugar control, inflammation reduction, and better long-term health.

No. GLP-1s can be used as a short- or long-term tool depending on your goals. We focus on tapering off once you’ve addressed root causes, improved insulin sensitivity, and built sustainable habits. You won’t be left hanging.

Some patients experience nausea, constipation, or fatigue during the first few weeks. We titrate slowly, use supportive supplements, and provide ongoing check-ins to minimize discomfort and help your body adapt.

Absolutely not. GLP-1s work best when paired with a protein-forward, anti-inflammatory diet, movement, and lifestyle changes. We help you build those habits while your biology starts working with you — not against you.

GLP-1s aren’t about chasing skinny — they’re about rebuilding your metabolism from the inside out, so your body starts working for you, not against you. If you’ve done everything “right” and still feel stuck, we should talk.
