GLP-1 medications can produce substantial weight loss. But the number on the scale doesn’t show whether that weight was fat or muscle.
Muscle matters. It is what keeps you strong and steady on your feet, and it is hard to rebuild as you get older. A weight-loss prescription with no measurement and no training leaves that part to chance. Our program is designed so that it doesn’t.
Dr. Gurrala decides whether a GLP-1 is right for you, prescribes semaglutide or tirzepatide if it is, and adjusts your care at monthly visits. He checks your hormones as part of the program, because they affect how you lose weight and hold on to muscle.
An InBody scan shows how much of your weight is fat and how much is muscle, at the start and at every check. If the muscle number starts to slip, we find out while there is still time to do something about it.
Delos Fit strength training, coached by Jauan Addison, gives your body a reason to keep its muscle. Protein-first nutrition supplies what it needs to do so.
Weight often returns after a GLP-1 ends. We plan for that from the beginning, so that the strength, habits and follow-up you have built are in place before any change in medication.
Some of the weight lost on a GLP-1 can be muscle. At Delos, Dr. Gurrala measures it with an InBody scan at every check, and Delos Fit strength training and protein-first nutrition protect it. This is medical weight loss at Delos Longevity in Sterling, Virginia. Start with a free consultation.
Your consultation is free. After that, Dr. Gurrala prices each program individually, because the cost depends on your medication, your dose, your testing and how much training you want. You will have the full price before you start.
Brand-name medications such as Wegovy and Zepbound are approved by the FDA, which means the finished product has been reviewed for safety, effectiveness and quality. Compounded versions are prepared by pharmacies and do not go through that review. Dr. Gurrala prescribes brand-name medication only.
Appetite usually returns, and many people regain weight after stopping. That does not mean you can never stop. At Delos, Dr. Gurrala plans the transition with you, while strength training, nutrition and follow-up scans help you hold on to your progress.
You cannot choose where your body loses fat, but you can lower your total body fat while keeping muscle. For many people that takes a combination of nutrition, strength training and sleep, and sometimes hormone treatment or medication. An InBody scan at Delos in Sterling shows where you are starting from.
You do not have to. Delos Fit also offers training and nutrition programs without medication, built around strength, cardiovascular fitness and mobility. Progress may be slower or more variable, but it comes without medication side effects.
Thyroid tumors. Semaglutide and tirzepatide carry a boxed warning. They caused thyroid C-cell tumors in rodents; whether they do so in people is not known. Do not take them if you or a family member has had medullary thyroid carcinoma, or if you have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Tell your doctor about a lump in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing or shortness of breath.
Other serious risks include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems often related to dehydration, low blood sugar (especially with other diabetes medications), changes in vision for people with diabetes, and serious allergic reactions. Seek medical care right away for severe stomach pain that does not go away.
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation and stomach pain. These medications should not be used during pregnancy.
This is not a complete list. Treatment is prescribed only when clinically appropriate, after a medical evaluation. Individual results vary.
