Three weight-loss paths

Pick your protocol. We’ll personalize the rest.

All three are medically supervised. Your provider reviews your labs and symptoms, then picks the right protocol — solo or combined.

Semaglutide product

Semaglutide

GLP-1 weekly injection — the proven foundation

Once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces hunger signals, slows gastric emptying, and improves blood sugar control. The most studied GLP-1 protocol — patients typically see steady, sustained weight changes.

$125/mo

3-month starter program

Best for: Most patients with BMI 27+ or weight-related health conditions

Start Consultation
What it is
A compounded GLP-1 receptor agonist delivered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection. Acts on the appetite and gastric-emptying pathways to support a calorie deficit.
Timeline
Most patients notice appetite changes within the first 1–2 weeks. Dose is titrated up over the first 12 weeks to find the lowest effective level for you.
Monitoring
Initial labs reviewed by your provider, monthly check-ins, and quarterly bloodwork. Dose is adjusted based on tolerance, labs, and how you feel.
Safety: Medically supervised with gradual titration. Mild nausea is the most common side effect, especially during the first 1–2 weeks, and typically resolves as your body adjusts.
Tirzepatide product

Tirzepatide

Dual GIP/GLP-1 — the next-generation option

A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. Acts on two complementary pathways for appetite regulation and metabolic control. Often chosen by patients who plateau on semaglutide or want a more aggressive protocol.

$265/mo

3-month starter program

Best for: Patients seeking the most studied dual-mechanism GLP-1 option

Start Consultation
What it is
A compounded once-weekly injection that activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. The dual mechanism targets appetite, satiety, and metabolic regulation simultaneously.
Timeline
Appetite changes typically begin within the first 1–2 weeks. Dose is titrated up over the first 16–20 weeks to balance efficacy and tolerability.
Monitoring
Initial labs reviewed by your provider, monthly check-ins, and quarterly bloodwork. Your provider adjusts the dose based on response and side-effect profile.
Safety: Medically supervised with gradual titration. Mild nausea is the most common side effect, especially during dose increases, and typically improves as your body adapts.
Lipo B/C product

Lipo B/C

Lipotropic injection — energy + metabolism support

A blend of methionine, inositol, choline, B12 and amino acids. Supports liver fat metabolism, energy levels and methylation. Used alongside a GLP-1 program or as a stand-alone metabolic boost.

$25/shot

weekly or biweekly injection

Best for: Patients on a GLP-1 program needing energy support, or those wanting metabolic support without a GLP-1

Start Consultation
What it is
A lipotropic blend of methionine, inositol, choline, B12 and amino acids — nutrients that support how the liver processes fat and how the body produces energy.
Timeline
Used as a weekly or biweekly injection. Many patients report a noticeable energy lift within the first few weeks. Best results come from consistent use alongside a structured program.
Monitoring
Reviewed at your regular provider check-ins. Often layered onto an existing GLP-1 protocol, but can be used on its own as part of a broader wellness plan.
Safety: Medically supervised. Generally well-tolerated. Lipo B/C is an adjunct that supports energy and metabolism — it is not a stand-alone weight-loss medication and works best as part of a structured program.

Not sure which is right for you? Every plan starts with a $50 consultation. Your provider reviews your labs and goals, then recommends the right protocol — solo or combined.

How It Works

The science behind it.

Understand how these medications work at a cellular level.

GLP-1 receptor agonists like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide reduce appetite by mimicking natural gut hormones. Clinical trials demonstrate 14.9–22.5% body weight reduction. NuHealth offers these medications as compounded formulations starting at $297/month in Royal Oak, Michigan.

🧬GLP-1

Glucagon-Like Peptide-1

GLP-1 mimics a natural hormone that regulates blood sugar and appetite. It slows gastric emptying, making you feel fuller longer. Originally developed for type 2 diabetes, weight loss benefits were discovered in clinical trials — the landmark STEP 1 trial showed 14.9% average body weight reduction over 68 weeks.

FDA-approved since 2017 for weight loss

⚖️Theory

Set Point Theory

Your body has a genetically-predetermined "set point" weight. Diets fail because your body fights back — metabolic adaptation reduces energy expenditure by up to 15%. GLP-1 medications work with your hypothalamus to reset this set point lower, making weight loss sustainable without constant willpower.

📈Process

Titration Protocol

We start low and go slow. Weekly dose increases allow your body to adapt and minimize side effects. This personalized titration approach — recommended by the Obesity Medicine Association — is why NuHealth patients stay on plan longer than average, with 87% adherence at 6 months.

Myth vs Fact.

What you've heard probably isn't true.

✕

Myth

"GLP-1s are just for diabetics. They're not real weight loss drugs."

GLP-1 medications were originally developed for type 2 diabetes, but clinical trials showed 14.9–22.5% body weight reduction in non-diabetic patients (STEP 1 Trial, NEJM 2021; SURMOUNT-1, NEJM 2022). The FDA approved them specifically for chronic weight management. They're legitimate pharmaceutical interventions backed by rigorous Phase III data. STEP 1 Trial, NEJM 2021; SURMOUNT-1, NEJM 2022.

Fact

GLP-1s work by resetting your body's weight set point.

These medications activate GLP-1 receptors in the hypothalamus that control appetite, blood sugar, and metabolic rate. Over 90,000 peer-reviewed studies indexed in PubMed support their efficacy and safety profile. Results are sustained because the underlying biological mechanism — reduced hunger signaling and improved satiety — persists with continued use.

✕

Myth

"You'll regain weight the moment you stop. It's not sustainable."

Some patients maintain weight loss after discontinuing, especially if lifestyle changes stick. Others benefit from lower maintenance doses. The key is working with a provider who creates a long-term plan, not just a quick fix.

Fact

Combination therapy is more effective than medication alone.

GLP-1 works best when paired with habit change, nutrition coaching, and regular exercise. NuHealth includes all of these. Patients who engage with the full program see 24% average weight loss vs 18% from medication alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces hunger signals in your brain, slows stomach emptying so you feel full longer, and improves blood sugar control. Originally developed for type 2 diabetes, it was FDA-approved for weight loss in 2017 after showing an average 15% weight loss in clinical trials. At NuHealth in Royal Oak, MI, compounded semaglutide starts at $125/month.
Most adults qualify. You're a good candidate if you have a BMI over 27 with weight-related health conditions or BMI over 30, or if traditional dieting hasn't worked long-term. NuHealth's free consultation includes a 15-minute screening covering your medical history, current medications, and goals.
Most side effects are mild and temporary. Nausea is the most common, especially during the first 1-2 weeks. Other potential side effects include constipation, fatigue, or mild dizziness. NuHealth's titration protocol starts low and increases slowly to minimize side effects.
Most patients notice appetite suppression within days. Measurable weight loss typically appears in weeks 2-3. The average patient loses 1-2 lbs per week initially. Full results take 6+ months. NuHealth patients on the full program see 24% average weight loss vs 18% from medication alone.
Yes. Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) are both FDA-approved for weight loss. NuHealth's compounded versions are manufactured in licensed 503B pharmacies that meet FDA standards, offering significant savings versus brand-name medications.
Your monthly membership includes the medication, initial blood work ordered and reviewed by your provider plus quarterly check-ins, weekly 1-on-1 personalized nutrition plan and workout plan, injectable supplies, access to your board-certified provider, and 24/7 emergency support. Semaglutide plans start at $125/month, Tirzepatide at $265/month.
Coverage has changed significantly. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan dropped GLP-1 coverage for weight loss in January 2025, and Michigan Medicaid severely restricted access in January 2026. NuHealth's compounded semaglutide at $125/month is 93% less than brand-name Wegovy ($1,820/month), making treatment accessible without insurance coverage.
