Are GLP-1 Medications Right for You? 5 Signs You May Be a Good Candidate
GLP-1 medications — including Semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) — are helping thousands of people lose weight safely under medical supervision.
But how do you know if a GLP-1 weight loss program is right for you?
Here are five signs that you may be a strong candidate for this type of treatment in Tualatin.
✅ 1. You’ve Struggled to Lose Weight with Diet and Exercise Alone
If your best efforts haven’t led to sustainable results, GLP-1s may help. These medications reduce appetite, improve satiety, and can lower the mental and physical burden of constant hunger or cravings.
✅ 2. You Have a BMI of 27 or Higher
Many providers consider GLP-1s for adults with a BMI of 27+ with weight-related health concerns, or 30+ without existing conditions. A provider will review your health to determine if you qualify.
✅ 3. You’re Committed to a Program
GLP-1 treatments are most effective when paired with provider guidance, check-ins, and lifestyle changes. If you're ready to follow a plan for at least 12 weeks, you’ll be better positioned for long-term success.
✅ 4. You’re in Good General Health
While GLP-1 medications are safe for many people, they’re not right for everyone. A provider will ask about your personal and family medical history — especially regarding thyroid, pancreas, and gastrointestinal conditions — before starting treatment.
✅ 5. You Want Medical Support — Not Just Guesswork
GLP-1s work best when monitored by a licensed provider. You’ll have regular check-ins, dosage adjustments, and professional guidance tailored to your goals and body.
