For a safe and effective weight loss journey, we begin with a no-needle blood collection that screens key health markers. This ensures your treatment plan is tailored to your unique biology before you begin your weight loss journey.
What are GLP-1 medications?
GLP‑1 medications work by imitating a natural hormone in your body, helping to reduce appetite and stabilise blood sugar. Backed by clinical research, they’ve been proven to support safe and effective weight loss.
What do GLP-1s work?
Your body naturally makes the GLP‑1 hormone, released in the gut after you eat. It plays a key role in weight and blood sugar control by: - Supporting insulin release when blood sugar is high - Reducing glucagon, the hormone that raises blood sugar - Slowing digestion, so you feel fuller for longer - Curbing appetite through signals to the brain Together, these effects help regulate hunger, stabilise blood sugar, and support weight loss.
What are GLP-1s Used For?
LP‑1 medications are commonly prescribed to support health in two key areas:
- Type 2 diabetes - helping improve blood sugar control - Weight management - reducing appetite and supporting healthy weight loss
Are GLP-1 medications safe?
Yes. GLP‑1 medications are considered safe when prescribed by a qualified clinician and taken as directed. They’ve been thoroughly researched, approved for use in the US, and have already helped millions of people manage their weight and blood sugar. Like any treatment, side effects can occur - most often nausea, constipation, or fatigue, especially at the beginning. These usually ease as your body adjusts to the medication.
Before starting, your clinician will review your medical history to ensure GLP‑1 treatment is right for you. Be open about your health details so they can prescribe safely and effectively.

“My entire weight loss journey with SheMed has been great. Just a little bit of everything feels better, including my confidence.”
Phase 1: Getting Started (0 – 3 months) You can expect to lose up to 5–10% of your body weight as your body begins to respond to treatment. It may take 8–9 weeks to feel the full effects. Your medication dose will be reviewed each month to maximise weight loss results while keeping side effects to a minimum.
Phase 2: Steady Progress (3 – 6 months Most people lose 10–20% of their body weight during this phase and start seeing consistent results. Side effects usually become less frequent, and you’re likely to have found a medication dose that works well for you.
Phase 3: Lasting Change (6–12+ months) This is where we focus on long-term success. We’ll support you in building healthy, sustainable habits to maintain your progress and prioritise your overall wellbeing. Your goal may shift from weight loss to maintaining your results and feeling your best.
Mounjaro contains the ingredient tirzepatide and is a dual-action treatment that mimics both GLP-1 and GIP hormones. This combination not only helps curb hunger and slow digestion but may also enhance the body’s ability to process and store energy, supporting weight loss.
What is Wegovy?
Wegovy contains the active ingredient semaglutide, which mimics the GLP-1 hormone to reduce appetite, increase feelings of fullness, and support weight loss.
What's the difference between Mounjaro and Wegovy?
The difference between Mounjaro and Wegovy lies in how they work: Mounjaro mimics two hormones — GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) — creating a dual-action treatment that helps control appetite, improve blood sugar, and boost fat metabolism. Wegovy mimics just GLP-1, helping reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness.
How often should I take Mounjaro?
Mounjaro is taken as a once weekly injection, ideally on the same day each week.
How often should I take Wegovy?
Wegovy is taken as a once weekly injection, ideally on the same day each week.
