Maintaining healthy body weight is an important part of overall physical health. Regular physical exercise, a balanced diet, adequate hydration, and a healthy sleep routine can help keep our bodies looking and feeling their best.

For some patients, however, diet and exercise are simply not enough. Our pharmacists recognize that for some people, weight management is a more complex issue. If you’ve tried the standard approaches and failed to achieve desired results, it’s possible that other factors may be involved. For example, sustained stress levels have been linked to a variety of health concerns, including weight fluctuation. Healthy thyroid and adrenal function are also critical to weight management.⁸

GLP-1 medication may help you reach your weight management goals. GLP-1 receptor agonists are naturally-occurring hormones which are released from our gut after we eat. The function of GLP-1s is to assist in regulating blood glucose levels and encourage a sense of satiety, which may lead to better weight management over time. At Pacifica Compounding Pharmacy we compound formulations in an easy-to-use sublingual formulation, with a prescription from your doctor.

Our compassionate staff understands the complexity of this issue. We’ll work with you and your healthcare provider to identify the factors that may be affecting your weight and design a customized treatment regimen to address your particular needs.
