GLP-1Therapy
Physician-supervised GLP-1 therapy with semaglutide or liraglutide — titration and follow-up included.
Overview
What is GLP-1 therapy?
GLP-1 therapy at Empire is physician-supervised appetite and metabolic support using medications in this class — semaglutide or liraglutide — when they are clinically appropriate.
The medication is a tool inside a plan: titration, nutrition, side-effect support, and follow-up. If you only want a vial with no visits, we are not the right clinic.
Why patients choose it
Key benefits
- A structured semaglutide or liraglutide pathway when medically appropriate
- Dose titration aimed at tolerability, not speed
- Nutrition and lifestyle support so muscle and habits are not an afterthought
- Ongoing monitoring of progress, side effects, and labs as indicated

Medications
Medications in this program
- Semaglutide — a once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist used when that schedule and profile fit
- Liraglutide — a daily GLP-1 option when a different titration or history makes it the better first tool
Your visit
Consult, screening, and baseline measurements come first. If you start medication, we teach injection technique, what to eat when appetite drops, and when to call.
Visits continue through titration and maintenance. If semaglutide or liraglutide is not a fit, we talk about GIP/GLP-1 therapy or other medications rather than pushing through.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about this treatment — your provider will cover anything specific to you at consultation.
Do you offer semaglutide and liraglutide?
Yes, when they are clinically appropriate. We choose between them based on history, tolerability, and what you can keep — not a brand pitch.
Is this a vial with no visits?
No. Screening, titration, and follow-up are the program. If you only want a prescription and no calendar, we will decline.
What if I cannot tolerate it?
We slow the titration, switch to the other GLP-1, or talk about GIP/GLP-1 or other medications. We do not push through misery.
