Frequently Asked Questions - Weight Loss

Weight loss varies by individual. Most patients experience gradual, steady fat loss over time rather than rapid drops. Our focus is on sustainable results, protecting lean muscle, and supporting metabolic health—not rushing the process. Slower, consistent loss is often more durable and easier to maintain long-term.

No. We do not require calorie counting.

Instead, we guide you through a protein-forward, balanced nutrition approach designed specifically for GLP-1 users. The goal is to nourish your body adequately, support muscle mass, and allow appetite regulation to occur naturally—without restriction or tracking fatigue.

That’s very common—and often comes down to dosing, speed of titration, or lack of medical guidance.

At Wanderluxe, we take a more refined approach:

• Conservative, individualized dosing
• Slower titration when needed
• Proactive side-effect prevention
• Ongoing provider oversight

Many patients who struggled previously find they do much better with a personalized, medically supervised plan.

Depending on your medical history, goals, and response, providers may prescribe GLP-1 medications such as Semaglutide or Tirzepatide.

Medication choice and dosing are always determined by your provider and adjusted over time based on how your body responds.

Some patients experience mild side effects, particularly early in treatment. These may include:

• Nausea
• Constipation
• Reflux
• Fatigue
• Reduced appetite

At Wanderluxe, side-effect prevention is built into the program. We provide education, dosing adjustments, nutrition strategies, and supportive care to minimize discomfort. You’ll also receive clear guidance on what’s normal and when to reach out.

You’re never expected to “push through” symptoms.

Your provider may:

• Adjust your dose
• Pause titration
• Modify timing or support strategies
• Address hydration or nutrition factors

Your comfort and safety always come first.

Movement is strongly encouraged—especially strength or resistance training—but it’s tailored to your lifestyle and ability.

Preserving muscle mass is essential for:

• Metabolic health
• Long-term weight maintenance
• Strength and energy

We focus on realistic, sustainable movement—not excessive cardio or burnout.

There is no one-size-fits-all timeline.

Some patients benefit from longer-term use at a maintenance dose, while others may taper off once metabolic health improves. Your provider will help determine the lowest effective dose and guide long-term planning based on your goals and response.

Yes—when appropriate.

We proactively plan for maintenance and transition strategies, which may include:

• Dose reduction
• Maintenance dosing
• Lifestyle anchoring
• Ongoing monitoring

This reduces the risk of rebound weight gain and supports long-term success.

Weight regain is possible if medication is stopped without a plan—just like with any weight-loss intervention.

That’s why Wanderluxe emphasizes:

• Muscle preservation
• Metabolic support
• Nutrition education
• Maintenance planning

Our goal is to help you feel confident and supported—on or off medication.

 Lab work is ordered when clinically indicated and helps ensure:

• Safety
• Optimal metabolic support
• Identification of contributing factors (such as insulin resistance or nutrient deficiencies)

Your provider will review recommendations with you during your consultation.

Yes. Many patients combine GLP-1 therapy with:

• Hormone optimization
• Vitamin or metabolic support
• Body contouring or skin tightening
• Aesthetic treatments as weight loss progresses

Your provider can help coordinate care for a comprehensive, aligned plan.

Yes—fully.

All GLP-1 care at Wanderluxe is overseen by licensed medical providers. This ensures appropriate screening, individualized dosing, safety monitoring, and ongoing support throughout your journey.

Your first step is a private consultation.

During this visit, your provider will review your health history, goals, and determine whether GLP-1 therapy is appropriate for you.
