Medical weight loss and GLP-1 therapy at Praxis Jona

Focus

metabolism, eating behavior, lifestyle

Therapy

GLP-1 when indicated

Follow-up

quarterly or monthly

The focus is not only short-term weight loss, but a long-term meaningful and medically supervised change in:

  • metabolism,
  • eating behavior,
  • body composition,
  • lifestyle
  • and health risk factors.

Depending on the individual situation, treatment may include GLP-1 therapy (“weight-loss injection”).

Our focus is medically grounded weight loss instead of short-term crash diets or unrealistic promises.

What is GLP-1 therapy (“weight-loss injection”)?

GLP-1 medications were originally developed for diabetes treatment and are now also used for medical weight loss.

The therapy can support:

  • reduced hunger,
  • faster feeling of satiety,
  • better control of eating behavior
  • and long-term weight loss.

GLP-1 therapy is not a replacement for nutrition or lifestyle changes, but part of a structured medical treatment concept.

Who can the treatment be useful for?

Physician-supervised weight loss may be useful for:

  • obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²)
  • overweight (BMI ≥ 27 kg/m²) with accompanying conditions such as:
  • high blood pressure,
  • type 2 diabetes,
  • sleep apnea,
  • fatty liver
  • or metabolic syndrome

Before every treatment, there is a detailed physician assessment.

How does treatment work?

At the beginning, there is a detailed physician initial consultation with:

  • medical history,
  • weight analysis,
  • discussion of symptoms,
  • medication history,
  • eating habits
  • and individual risk assessment.

Depending on the situation, additional diagnostics may be useful:

  • blood tests,
  • metabolic analyses,
  • micronutrient analyses
  • or further diagnostics.

Nutrition counseling & medical support

Long-term successful weight loss is based not only on medication, but also on:

  • nutrition,
  • everyday life,
  • movement,
  • muscle mass,
  • regeneration
  • and sustainable habits.

That is why we can combine therapy with individual nutrition counseling and medical follow-up if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Weight Loss

What is the difference between a diet and medical weight loss?

Medical weight loss considers:

  • metabolism,
  • pre-existing conditions,
  • lab values,
  • nutrition,
  • medication
  • and individual risk factors.

The goal is long-term and medically meaningful weight loss.

Is the “weight-loss injection” suitable for everyone?

No. Whether GLP-1 therapy is useful depends on:

  • weight,
  • pre-existing conditions,
  • metabolism,
  • medication
  • and individual medical situation.

That is why every treatment starts with a detailed physician assessment.

Do I still have to change my nutrition?

Yes. Medication alone does not replace long-term changes in nutrition and lifestyle.

Sustainable weight loss usually comes from the combination of:

  • medical support,
  • nutrition adjustment,
  • movement
  • and structured habits.
Can deficiencies occur during weight loss?

Yes. Especially with reduced calorie intake or changed eating behavior, micronutrient deficiencies can occur.

That is why we can combine therapy with:

  • micronutrient analyses,
  • nutrition counseling
  • and individual supplementation.
How quickly do you lose weight with GLP-1 therapy?

Weight loss varies individually and depends on:

  • nutrition,
  • movement,
  • metabolism,
  • dosage
  • and starting weight.

The goal is not extreme short-term weight loss, but a long-term stable and medically meaningful course.

Are there side effects?

Like any medication, GLP-1 medications can cause side effects.

Possible symptoms include:

  • nausea,
  • fullness,
  • gastrointestinal symptoms
  • or appetite changes.

Before therapy begins, detailed medical information is provided.
