About GLP-1 Medication

GLP-1 medications are FDA-approved treatments that may support weight management for certain patients.

These medications are not appropriate for everyone and require medical evaluation, monitoring, and follow-up.

  • Never prescribed without evaluation
  • Not all patients qualify
  • One tool within a broader care plan
  • Ongoing provider oversight is required

Frequently Asked Questions

Is medication required?

No. Medication is not required to participate in our weight management program.
Some patients benefit from prescription medications, including GLP-1 treatments, while others may succeed with a structured plan focused on nutrition, activity, and lifestyle changes. During your visit, an AFC provider will review your goals, medical history, and preferences to determine the right approach for you.

Do I need to qualify?

Yes. All patients are evaluated by an AFC medical provider before starting treatment.
If medication is being considered, you must meet medical eligibility criteria based on factors such as BMI, health history, and any underlying conditions. Your safety comes first, and your provider will recommend options that are appropriate for you.

Are GLP-1 medications available at AFC?

GLP-1 medications may be available at select AFC clinics, depending on location and medical eligibility.
If appropriate, your provider can discuss whether GLP-1 treatment is right for you and review potential benefits, risks, and costs. Availability can vary by clinic, so we recommend contacting your local AFC to confirm current offerings.

Are results guaranteed?

No medical weight loss program can guarantee specific results.
Weight loss outcomes vary based on individual health factors, adherence to treatment, lifestyle changes, and consistency. Our goal is to provide medically guided support, ongoing monitoring, and a structured plan designed to help you achieve sustainable progress.

Is this the same as online programs?

No. AFC provides in-person medical evaluation and oversight from licensed healthcare providers.
Unlike many online-only programs, you’ll receive a personalized treatment plan, direct access to medical staff, and follow-up support at a local clinic. We combine clinical expertise with the convenience of urgent care access in your community.
