A Provider-Guided Plan Built Around Your Body and Goals

“Very professional and answered my questions, leaving me feeling comfortable and confident that I was on the right path.” — What Our Patients Say

My husband has been a patient at Viking since the beginning. I have been to some of his visits and find Josh to be thorough and professional. Josh took the time to explain to us lab results and make necessary changes. Josh is a caring individual and has helped my husband feel his best.

P.D.

All of my labs were discussed at my follow up appointment along with a treatment plan. Since treatment plan has been completed I have been followed up on regularly. I have to say I have been feeling great! I’m now sleeping through the night, going to the gym regularly and my body aches/joint pain have completely vanished. If this is something you’ve heard about and are interested definitely check them out!

S.B.

The whole process is straightforward, simple and you have an amazing provider working with you thru it all that wants nothing but you feeling your best in the end. The staff has been awesome to work with as well learning the ropes of this area of medicine. We do and will continue to recommend them to everyone.

C.P.

Absolutely love this office! Everyone is super friendly. They are professional, but know how to have fun when its appropriate. I have been going here since it opened, and never been disappointed.

How Can GLP-1 Treatment Help You Lose Weight?

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone that controls appetite, digestion, and blood sugar regulation. GLP-1 medications imitate or enhance these natural signals, helping you manage hunger and feel satisfied with less food.

Medication is only one part of the process. Viking combines treatment with medical oversight and practical lifestyle support, so your progress doesn’t depend on injections alone.

Feel Satisfied for Longer After Eating

GLP-1 medications slow the rate at which food leaves your stomach, helping you stay satisfied between meals and reduce the urge to keep eating.

Support Healthier Blood Sugar Regulation

GLP-1 medications can help your body respond to blood sugar more effectively. Depending on your health, improved glucose regulation may support steadier appetite patterns.

Protect Your Strength as You Lose Weight

By incorporating nutritional guidance, sufficient protein, physical activity, and ongoing monitoring, we help you maintain muscle and strength as your weight changes.

Quiet Persistent Hunger and Food Noise

By acting on appetite pathways in the brain, GLP-1 treatment may reduce hunger signals, cravings, and preoccupation with your next meal.

Build Habits You Can Maintain

Reduced hunger can make it easier to practice portion control and make more deliberate food choices.

Could GLP-1 Medication Be Right for You?

You may be a candidate for GLP-1 medical weight loss if you:

Have a BMI of 30 or higher
Have a BMI of 27 or higher and a weight-related condition such as:
- High blood pressure
- Prediabetes or type 2 diabetes
- Insulin resistance
- Sleep apnea
Experience frequent hunger or cravings that make dietary changes difficult
Have not reached your goals through nutrition and exercise alone
Want a medically supervised approach with ongoing follow-up
Are prepared to pair medication with sustainable lifestyle changes

GLP-1 treatment may not be appropriate if you:

Are pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant
Have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma
Have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2
Have a history of pancreatitis or certain pancreatic disorders
Have a condition that affects stomach emptying
Take medication that may interact with the recommended treatment
Have another medical concern that needs to be evaluated first

These factors do not replace an individual medical assessment. Viking’s providers will review your medical history, current medications, lab work, and goals before recommending any treatment.

If GLP-1 therapy does not fit your health needs, your provider can discuss whether another approach such as ED treatment,peptide therapy, HRT, TRT, or hormone pellet therapy would better suit your needs.

Why Amherst Patients Choose Viking for Personalized Care

When you’re struggling to lose weight, you need a provider who understands your starting point, monitors your body’s response, and helps you make informed adjustments.

Here’s why patients in Amherst and across New Hampshire come to us:

Medical Oversight from Experienced Providers

Your treatment is managed by licensed medical professionals with experience in hormone health, metabolism, and age-management care.

Care That Considers More Than Your Weight

Changes in sleep, stress, energy, hormones, activity, and nutrition can all affect your ability to manage your weight. Viking considers these factors together rather than treating the number on the scale as an isolated problem.

Dosing Adjusted Around Your Response

Your starting dose, rate of progression, and follow-up plan depend on your medical needs and response to treatment, so we monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed to keep your plan effective.

What to Expect from Your Medical Weight Loss Plan

At Viking Medical Group, your plan develops through four supported stages:

Consultation: You’ll meet with our providers to discuss your health history, current habits, previous weight loss attempts, concerns, and goals.

Evaluation: Your provider will review relevant lab results, medications, metabolic factors, and possible contraindications to determine whether GLP-1 treatment is appropriate.

Treatment: If you qualify, Viking will develop a personalized plan that may include GLP-1 medication, nutrition guidance, activity recommendations, and wellness support.

Results: Every patient is different. Some notice appetite changes early in treatment, while weight loss timing and amount may vary. We check in regularly and adjust your plan as needed to keep you on track toward your goals.

What Patients Want to Know Before Getting Started

Your treatment cost depends on the medication prescribed, your dosage, and the structure of your treatment plan. We’ll explain your recommended treatment and pricing before you begin.

Common GLP-1 side effects can include nausea, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, or fatigue. We start with a low dose and monitor your response closely to keep you safe and comfortable throughout treatment.

Yes, GLP-1s are considered safe when prescribed and monitored by licensed providers like ours. We’ll review your medical history, medications, lab work, risk factors, and treatment goals before making a recommendation.

Some patients with cardiovascular conditions may still qualify, and certain GLP-1 medications have cardiovascular indications for specific patient groups. We’ll review your diagnosis, medication list, and overall risk profile before we determine whether treatment is appropriate for you.

Appetite can increase and weight regain may occur after treatment ends. We create treatment plans including nutrition guidance, activity recommendations, and continued medical guidance to help you prepare for long-term weight management rather than relying on medication as a temporary fix.

Take the Next Step Toward Sustainable Weight Loss

You don’t need another one-size-fits-all weight loss plan.

At Viking Medical Group, we offer custom GLP-1 dosing, nutritional guidance, and ongoing monitoring that extend far beyond a prescription, keeping you safe and accountable while you work toward your goals.
