GLP-1s like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro work — with the right dose and real follow-up. Most programs mail you a pen and vanish. I see you in person, every month.
15-min check, no commitment · Prescribing assessment covered by Alberta Health
In person, every month, with the same pharmacist.
Started low, stepped up carefully, side-effects managed.
Monthly check-ins keep the progress — and you — on track.
A quick check — I confirm everything at your visit.
Diet and exercise haven't held. GLP-1s help with the part willpower can't — appetite and cravings.
A BMI of 30+, or 27+ with a related condition like prediabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea.
You'd rather a clinician manage it than guess from an app.
Any of these apply to you? (tick all that fit)
A 15-minute chat to see if you're a candidate. No charge, no pressure.
A proper assessment — history, goals, labs if needed — and your plan.
When appropriate, I prescribe and we fill it the same day.
Monthly check-ins to manage dose and side-effects, safely.
We choose based on your goals, tolerance, budget, and needles-or-not.
Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy, and the lower-cost generic) and tirzepatide (Zepbound / Mounjaro), the strongest results to date. One injection a week.
Contrave, a daily tablet, and oral GLP-1s like Rybelsus. Gentler and needle-free, though typically less powerful.
Not covered by Alberta Health, so medication is billed separately — from about $90/month (generic semaglutide) up. Exact pricing at your consult.
Your prescribing assessment is covered by Alberta Health. The program fee is for the supervision around it.
Your prescription is based only on what's clinically appropriate for you. The program fee covers coaching and monitoring — it's optional, never a condition of being prescribed, and you can cancel anytime.
No. I can assess and prescribe GLP-1 therapy independently — no referral, no waitlist.
Well-studied, but not for everyone — and there are side-effects, mostly GI early on. That's why supervision matters: I screen, start low, and manage them.
It varies. In trials, semaglutide averaged ~15% over a year (tirzepatide more); orals less. I'll give you a realistic picture, not a sales number.
Not by Alberta Health for weight loss (only diabetes), so most pay out of pocket. Some private plans cover it — bring your card and I'll check.
Online programs are cheap but asynchronous — a form and a pen in the mail. This is in person, here in St. Albert, with the same pharmacist (me) every visit. That's the difference you're paying for.
A 15-minute eligibility check, no commitment. If it's not a fit, I'll tell you straight.
