Liraglutide

Most patients begin noticing benefits within the first few weeks, though significant changes may take longer. Consistency is key, and results vary based on individual factors, diet, and exercise. Liraglutide is most effective when combined with healthy lifestyle changes. Your dedicated health coach will provide guidance and support throughout your journey.

Liraglutide is taken as a subcutaneous injection (under the skin), typically once daily. Your provider will give you specific instructions on dosage and administration to ensure optimal results.

The most common side effects are mild and temporary, including:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea or constipation
• Decreased appetite
• Mild injection site reactions

These side effects usually improve as your body adjusts to the medication. If side effects persist or worsen, consult your provider.

Liraglutide supports sustainable weight loss by encouraging healthier lifestyle habits. Maintaining positive changes in diet, exercise, and overall wellness can help you keep the weight off after stopping the medication. However, returning to poor eating habits or a sedentary lifestyle may lead to weight regain. Your health coach will provide ongoing guidance to help you maintain long-term success.

For the best results with Liraglutide, incorporating healthier eating habits and regular movement is highly recommended. Prioritizing protein, healthy fats, and fiber while reducing highly processed foods can support metabolism, muscle retention, and sustained weight loss. Additionally, focusing on resistance training can help preserve muscle mass during weight loss.

While Liraglutide helps regulate appetite, long-term success is best achieved with balanced nutrition and an active lifestyle. To support your journey, you will be connected with a health coach who will provide personalized guidance and help you build sustainable habits.

Please note: Health Coaches are not doctors and cannot prescribe, provide specific medical advice or diagnose you with any medical conditions.

Joi + Blokes health coaches are here to:

All prescription products require a medical consultation with a licensed provider, either asynchronously or synchronously, who will determine if a prescription is appropriate. If not deemed appropriate, you will be immediately refunded.

At Joi+ Blokes, we take a holistic, preventative approach to care, which means many advanced treatments and lab tests are not typically covered by insurance. However, we do offer insurance-pay options for certain prescriptions:

• Women’s health medications like estrogen and progesterone can be sent to your local pharmacy, where you may use your insurance benefits.
  
• Thyroid medications will be sent to your local pharmacy, allowing you to utilize your insurance coverage.
  
• FDA-approved GLP-1/GIP medications for weight loss and type 2 diabetes, including Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro, may also be eligible for coverage.
  

While we assist with prior authorizations and prescription submissions, we do not bill insurance directly. We recommend checking with your insurance provider for specific coverage details.

Yes! You can use your HSA or FSA funds to cover eligible purchases. We are happy to provide a detailed receipt and a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from your provider. You can then submit these documents to your HSA/FSA account for potential reimbursement. Since coverage varies by plan, we recommend checking with your provider to confirm eligibility.
