What is GLP-1 weight loss?
GLP-1 stands for glucagon-like peptide-1 — a hormone your body naturally produces to regulate blood sugar, appetite, and how full you feel after eating. GLP-1 receptor agonist medications work by amplifying these signals, helping you feel satisfied with less food and reducing the intense cravings that derail most diets.
The two GLP-1 medications Praxiom Health prescribes — Semaglutide and Tirzepatide — have become the most clinically validated weight loss medications in a generation. In clinical trials, patients lost an average of 15% to 22% of their total body weight, far outperforming anything previously available without surgery.
Why GLP-1 medications work when diets don't
Most people who struggle with weight aren't lacking willpower — they're working against biology. Hormonal signals drive hunger, and those signals don't simply turn off because you decide to eat less. GLP-1 medications intervene at the hormonal level, making it physiologically easier to eat less, feel full sooner, and sustain that over time.
For Saint Louis residents dealing with decades of yo-yo dieting, this represents a genuine shift — not another plan, but a clinical tool that changes the underlying biology of weight.
Semaglutide vs. Tirzepatide — what's the difference?
Both are once-weekly injectable medications. Semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy) targets the GLP-1 receptor. Tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Mounjaro and Zepbound) targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which may produce stronger appetite suppression and greater average weight loss in clinical data.
Your Praxiom physician will help you determine which medication is the right fit based on your health history, goals, and how your body responds over time. Neither decision is permanent — your protocol can be adjusted as your program progresses.
The Praxiom approach — what makes us different
There's no shortage of telehealth companies offering weight loss prescriptions right now. Most of them operate on a simple model: you fill out a form, a provider approves a prescription, and that's largely the end of the relationship.
Praxiom Health was built differently, by physicians who saw what that model produces — patients who receive medication without real guidance, plateau without support, and eventually stop.
What physician-led care actually means
Your care at Praxiom isn't managed by an algorithm or handed off to a rotating list of providers. Our medical team — board-certified physicians with experience treating thousands of weight loss patients — reviews your intake, sets your starting protocol, and remains available as your program evolves.
Monthly check-ins, not quarterly form letters
Patients in our program have scheduled touchpoints with their care team, not just automated reminders. If your weight loss slows, if side effects emerge, or if your life circumstances change, your physician adjusts your protocol. Real-time responsiveness is built into the model.
No surprises on dosing
GLP-1 medications are titrated — meaning you start at a low dose and gradually increase over weeks and months. This reduces side effects and helps your body adjust. Your Praxiom physician manages this process with you, not for you. You understand what's happening and why.
High-touch support between appointments
Most weight loss programs leave you on your own between visits. Our clinical team — including licensed nurses — is accessible for questions, concerns, and check-ins outside of scheduled appointments. If something comes up, you're not left waiting.
Who is Praxiom Health right for?
Our program serves a wide range of Saint Louis residents — men and women — who are serious about losing weight and want medical supervision behind them.
You may be a strong candidate if:
You have a BMI of 27 or higher, with or without related health conditions
You've tried diet and exercise programs without achieving lasting results
You've heard about GLP-1 medications and want guidance from a physician rather than navigating it alone
You've used GLP-1 medications before and want a more structured, responsive care relationship
You're motivated to commit to a monthly program and follow a physician's protocol
We serve both men and women equally
Weight loss looks different across genders — hormonally, metabolically, and in terms of what success means to each person. Our physicians understand those differences and personalize protocols accordingly. For women, we often address how hormonal changes (perimenopause, menopause) intersect with weight. For men, we address the performance, energy, and metabolic dimensions that matter most.
What we're not
We're not an emergency medical provider, and GLP-1 therapy isn't appropriate for everyone. Certain conditions — including a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN2 syndrome — are absolute contraindications. Your intake evaluation will screen for these. Our physicians will only proceed if it's medically appropriate.
How the program works — start to finish
Getting started with Praxiom Health takes less time than most people expect. Here's what the process looks like from day one.
Step 1
Complete your online intake
Complete your health history, goals, and eligibility questionnaire in our secure patient portal. This takes most patients under 10 minutes. Your information is protected under HIPAA and reviewed only by our clinical team.
Step 2
Physician review and approval
A Praxiom physician reviews your intake, confirms eligibility, and determines your starting protocol. If you're approved, your prescription is sent to our partner pharmacy. If questions arise, your provider will follow up before proceeding.
Step 3
Medication delivered to your door
Your medication is shipped directly to your home in Saint Louis — no pharmacy lines, no scheduling conflicts. Most patients receive their first shipment within a few business days of approval.
Step 4
Monthly check-ins and protocol adjustments
Your physician monitors your progress each month. Dosing is adjusted based on how you're responding — how much weight you've lost, whether side effects have emerged, and what your goals are at that point in your program. Nothing is set and forgotten.
Step 5
Ongoing support
Between monthly touchpoints, our nursing team is available for questions. If you experience nausea, fatigue, or other common side effects, we help you navigate them — with practical guidance, not just a phone number to call.

Frequently asked questions — St. Louis patients
Is Praxiom Health licensed to serve Saint Louis and Missouri?
Yes. Praxiom Health is fully licensed to operate in Missouri and serves patients throughout the Saint Louis metro area, including Clayton, Ladue, South City, Chesterfield, Ballwin, Webster Groves, Kirkwood, Creve Coeur, Florissant, and O'Fallon, and beyond.
See all states we serveDo I need to come into an office?
No. Praxiom Health is a fully digital telehealth practice. Your intake, evaluation, and all follow-up care are conducted online. You never need to visit a physical location.
How much does the program cost?
All-in monthly packages start at $214.99/month for compounded Semaglutide and $263.99/month for compounded Tirzepatide, with medication included. Your exact package depends on the medication and dose your physician recommends, and you see the price before any charge is made. There are no hidden fees — your monthly cost includes physician oversight, dosing adjustments, and support between reviews.
See full pricingDoes insurance cover GLP-1 medications through Praxiom?
Our program is currently cash-pay. Many patients find the cost comparable to or less than copays and complications that arise from inadequately supported weight management. We will provide documentation upon request that may assist with reimbursement through HSA or FSA accounts.
What if the medication causes side effects?
The most common side effects of GLP-1 medications are gastrointestinal — nausea, constipation, or mild fatigue, particularly in the early weeks. These typically subside as your body adjusts. Our clinical team is available to help you manage side effects and can adjust your titration schedule if needed.
How quickly will I see results?
Most patients begin noticing appetite changes within the first 1–2 weeks. Measurable weight loss typically begins in weeks 4–8 and continues to build over 3–6 months with consistent adherence and physician guidance.
Can men use GLP-1 medications for weight loss?
Absolutely. Clinical trials for both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide included men and women equally. GLP-1 medications are highly effective across genders, and Praxiom's physicians are experienced in tailoring protocols for male patients whose goals may include improving energy, metabolic health, and physical performance alongside weight loss.
See the men's programIs Praxiom Health a legitimate medical practice?
Yes. Praxiom Health is LegitScript certified — a rigorous third-party credentialing standard for telehealth and online pharmacy practices. Our physicians are board-certified and our operations comply with HIPAA and applicable state telehealth regulations.
