Weight Loss

Healthier weight is a top priority for many people. A cornerstone of our approach is the use of GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) receptor agonist medications, which have shown significant promise in helping patients achieve and maintain weight loss. At Garduno Family Medicine, we work with our members to select FDA-approved GLP-1 medications based on our patient's health condition, preferences, dosing, and response to the treatment for chronic weight issues.
