GLP1- RA (glucagon-like peptide 1-receptor agonists) medications were first released in 2004 for diabetic patients. Over the past several years, they have been used for weight loss as they not only help shed pounds but also decrease the risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, and cancers. GLP1-RA's reduce appetite by slowing the release of insulin, shorten gastrointestinal transit times, and improve feelings of "fullness."
The names of the most commonly used products used for weight loss and Diabetes are tirzepatide, semaglutide, liraglutide, Mounjaro, Zepbound, , Rybelsus,Ozempic, Wegovy, Victoza, and Saxenda.
We also use compounding formulations, if desired.
Potential side effects include nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, pancreatitis, and medullary thyroid cancer (seen only in rat models studies, not in humans). Someone with a family history of multiple endocrine neoplasia should not take these medications.
A continuous glucose monitor, such as Freestyle Libre or DEXCOM, helps track food intake and can be a great tool to determine how your body responds to various foods. This allows you to avoid things that tend to spike your sugar and insulin levels.
Be aware that insurance does not often cover these devices. The cost can range from $59-$150 depending on the pharmacy and manufacturer coupons.
Topamax, or topiramate, was originally studied for those with seizure disorders. Further research shows it helps with weight loss, soda addiction, alcohol addiction, and migraine prevention.

Qsymia is appropriate for adults with an initial body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or greater (considered obese) or 27 kg/m2 or greater (considered overweight) who also have at least one weight-related medical condition, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, or high cholesterol.

Wellbutrin (bupropion) is an anti-depressant. As a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor, it can increase your metabolism and ability to focus while also improving your mood. A 2012 study found that obese adults who took bupropion SR (standard release) in 300mg or 400mg doses lost 7.2% and 10% of their body weight, respectively. They did this over 24 weeks and maintained that weight loss at 48 weeks (Anderson, 2012).
Bupropion can also be used for smoking cessation, major depressive disorder, and seasonal affective disorder.
Potential side effects include headache, weight loss, dry mouth, trouble sleeping (insomnia), nausea, dizziness, constipation, fast heartbeat, and sore throat. These will often improve over the first week or two that you the medication.

I started my weight loss journey with Dr. Chandler in May 2022. At the first appointment, she listened to my frustrations, my attempts with fad diets, and my failures. Eight months later, she has taught me and encouraged me to reach my weight loss goal. I am happier, more energetic, and in a much better headspace. Thank you Dr. Chandler!
Since starting my weight loss journey, I feel honored to know Dr Chandler and have her as my physician and mentor. She sees me as a person and has educated me that my obesity isn't due to lack of self control but a disease that needs to be managed through nutrition, medication, and activity, not dieting. Thank you for being the dedicated, thorough, and compassionate doctor that you are! You always go above and beyond and work tirelessly toward a healthy outcome.
I have been going to Dr. Chandler for several years, and she has helped me lose 20 pounds with her intermittent fasting recommendations and maintenance regimen which includes exercise. I have also seen her for BOTOX and microneedling treatments, which have improved my wrinkles and complexion. Her newest skin care products are amazing! I highly recommend trying the Biopeptide Serum Growth Factor. It improved the texture and softness of my skin immensely.
