“The whole process is straightforward, simple and you have an amazing provider working with you through it all...” — Hear From Our Patients

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.

How GLP-1 Treatment Can Support Your Weight Loss Journey

GLP-1, or glucagon-like peptide-1, is a hormone your body naturally produces to control hunger, digestion, insulin response, and the signals that tell your brain you’ve eaten enough.

GLP-1 medications act on those same systems. For appropriate candidates, they can make weight loss feel more manageable while lifestyle changes support the progress made during treatment.

Support Healthy Blood Sugar Regulation

GLP-1 medications help your body release insulin when blood sugar rises and can reduce excess glucose production, supporting steadier blood sugar levels throughout the day.

Help Manage Appetite and Hunger

GLP-1 medications can help your body regulate blood sugar and respond to insulin more effectively, which may stabilize your appetite.

Support Sustainable Weight Loss Progress

GLP-1 medications can support weight loss by controlling appetite and reducing hunger, making it easier to stick with healthy eating habits and manage your weight long term.

Help Preserve Lean Muscle During Weight Loss

When paired with adequate protein intake and strength training, GLP-1 treatment can support fat loss while helping you maintain more of your lean muscle mass.

Support Healthy Metabolic Function

GLP-1 treatment can support appetite control, digestion, and healthy blood sugar regulation to make long-term weight management easier.

Stay Satisfied Longer After Meals

GLP-1 medications slow the rate at which food leaves your stomach, which can help you feel full longer and naturally eat less throughout the day.tions.

Are You a Candidate for GLP-1 Medication?

GLP-1 treatment may be appropriate if you:

Have a BMI of 30 or higher
Have a BMI of 27 or higher with a weight-related health concern such as:
- High blood pressure
- Prediabetes or type 2 diabetes
- Insulin resistance
- Sleep apnea
Have made consistent diet and exercise changes without reaching your goals
Deal with persistent hunger, cravings, or food noise
Want medical guidance instead of navigating weight-loss medication alone
Are willing to build supportive nutrition and activity habits during treatment

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 digestive condition that affects stomach emptying
Take medication that may interact with the proposed treatment
Have another medical or hormonal concern that should be addressed first

Candidacy cannot be determined by BMI alone. Your provider will review your medical history, medications, lab results, and individual risks before recommending treatment.

If we find that GLP-1 therapy is not the right fit for you, we may recommend other options based on your symptoms and goals, including ED treatment, peptide therapy, HRT, TRT, or hormone pellet therapy.
