Biological and metabolic factors (largely theoretical for retatrutide): Hormonal profile: It is hypothesised that individuals with differing baseline levels of GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon may respond differently to receptor stimulation, but this has not been formally demonstrated for retatrutide and should be regarded as speculative

Below, we explore GLP1/GIP medications and their impact on sustainable weight loss

Compounded medications are made-to-order by a pharmacy to meet a specific prescription for an individual patient

While most healthy adults are good candidates, individuals with specific conditions or sensitivities will discuss alternative approaches with our team to find the best, safest fit
