Frequently Asked Questions - GLP1

 Compounded GLP-1/ GIP and/or Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) 

 This medication is here to kickstart your weight loss journey, but you will need to make lifestyle changes to make the impact lifelong. We want sustainability and to keep the weight and inches you lose off for good! 

GLP-1/ GIP agonist is the generic version of brands like Mounjaro/Zepbound, an enhanced version of Ozempic/Wegovy. When compounded, it is a combination of a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) AND glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonists PLUS Vitamin B12.  


It works by mimicking a hormone that targets areas of the gut and brain involved in regulating appetite and food intake. It slows gastric emptying, reduces appetite, and helps with direct fat metabolism. In other words, it helps you eat less, feel full longer, and burn off existing fat.


In addition to weight loss and diabetes control, research has shown that it lowers risks of strokes and heart attacks, controls high blood pressure, treats sleep apnea in some, slows progression of Alzheimer's/ dementia,* reduces inflammation and osteoarthritic pain (knees), and helps kidney function. Research articles available upon request.  


*ongoing research showing promising results


Nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and headache are the most common side effects, but most can be curbed by following Dr. Lee's regimen.  Lesser (rare) common side effects will be shared during the initial medical consultation session.


Yes, clients self administer a weekly injection in the abdomen (preferred site) using a tiny diabetic (30 gauge) needle.  Dr. Lee will guide you each step of the way in person (or via telehealth) when you administer your first shot.


There are no restrictions to what you can eat, but many clients develop food aversions (i.e., desserts, fried foods, junk food, etc.) which minimize/eliminate these types of cravings.


Yes. There is no known interaction between alcohol and GLP-1/ GIP and/or B12 (Cyanocobalamin).


You can remain at the GLP-1/ GIP dose you are taking or start weaning yourself off to see how you feel. You will want to maintain your weight for a couple of months prior to getting off the medication completely.  Each client will create a personalized exit strategy in consultation with Dr. Lee.  


Yes, we encourage a healthy balance of daily cardio (walking) and resistance training. Part of the weight loss journey is to develop life changing habits.  Note: rapid weight loss may also result in sarcopenia (muscle wasting). Resistance training ensures that you lose fat and not muscle. Remember, you need muscle to burn fat.


No.  All services rendered and medications are self-pay only.  Some clients have had success requesting reimbursement from their HSA/FSA.

Frequently Asked Questions - NAD+

 Compounded Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+)

 This medication is here to reset your biological clock in many ways.  It's also known as the "fountain of youth" molecule. We want our body to work at maximum capacity to slow aging, promote health and wellbeing. 

NAD+ a molecule called Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide that is processed into an injected form prepped at a compounding pharmacy.


NAD+ functions by mimicking a coenzyme involved in over 500 enzymatic reactions essential to the regulation of nearly all major biological processes, thereby promoting healthier aging and potentially extending lifespan. 


As we age—particularly after the age of 40—our natural production of NAD⁺ declines significantly, with levels dropping to approximately 20% by age 60. This reduction is associated with chronic fatigue, impaired motor function, diminished hearing and vision, slower metabolism, skin damage, cognitive decline (including brain fog), weakened immune response, and slower healing. These effects contribute to increased inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, cardiovascular issues, weight gain, and accelerated signs of aging such as fine lines and graying hair. Supplementation with NAD⁺ may help slow or potentially reverse many of these age-related declines.

Frequently Asked Questions - PDA

 Compounded Pentadeca Arginate (PDA)

 This medication is here to accelerate wound healing and injuries and to promote gut health. We want our body to function at its maximum capacity without pain or inflammation. 

PDA is an isolate called Pentadeca Arginate, composed of 15 amino acids found in human gastric juices, that is processed into an injected form prepped at a compounding pharmacy.


PDA supports the healing and recovery of physical injuries by reducing inflammatory stress on the body and by promoting the repair of muscles, ligaments, skin, and tendons—accelerating recovery by up to 40–60%. As a result, it also aids in pain relief through its anti-inflammatory effects. Because of PDA's origins in human gastric juices, it is also known to improve leaky gut ailments, like irritable bowel, Crohn's, diverticulitis, etc.
