Risks & Benefits of Using GLP-1s to Optimize Weight Benefits

  • Substantial Weight Loss: Most people lose 15–22% of body weight, often more than with lifestyle alone.

  • Improved Blood Sugar & Cholesterol: Even without diabetes, metabolic markers improve.

  • Reduced Cravings & Appetite: Alters brain chemistry related to hunger.

  • May Lower Risk of Heart Disease: Early data show cardiovascular protection.

  • Better Mobility & Energy: Weight loss improves joint health, stamina, and mood.

 

Risks & Side Effects

  • GI Issues: Nausea, vomiting, constipation, bloating—especially early on.

  • Muscle Loss: Rapid weight loss can reduce lean mass if not balanced with protein intake and resistance training.

  • Cost & Accessibility: Long-term use may not be sustainable financially.

  • Potential Thyroid Risks: Very rare concerns for medullary thyroid cancer (mainly in rodents).

  • Psychological Effects: Can cause identity shifts, emotional detox, or anxiety around eating patterns.

 

Final Thought:
GLP-1s are powerful tools, but not magic bullets. They work best when combined with nutrition, movement, and self-understanding. The goal isn’t thinness, its health, agency, and joy in the body you live in. That is our approach here at She-Rises.

Real Science. Real Support. Real Results.
At She Rises, we understand that weight loss isn’t just about a number on the scale. It’s about reclaiming your energy, feeling strong in your body, and building a relationship with food that actually feels healthy and sustainable. That’s why our program blends cutting-edge science with deeply personal, woman-centered care—so you feel supported every step of the way.

Which medication is best for me?
Our weight loss program is built around several agents, that activates two powerful hormones—GLP-1 and GIP—to help reduce hunger, stabilize blood sugar, and support real fat loss while preserving muscle. These work with your body, not against it, so you can finally see progress without the burnout.

If you’ve been stuck in cycles of emotional eating, low energy, or weight that won’t budge—this may be the reset you’ve been waiting for.

What Makes Our Program Different
Most programs hand you a prescription and send you on your way. We don’t do that.

At She Rises, you’ll be guided by Dr. Sheila Grace Newsom and a team that actually knows your name, your goals, and your story. You’ll never feel rushed, dismissed, or like you’re just another case file.

We offer:

  • A full medical intake and one-on-one consultation

    Personalized medication regimen tailored to your unique body

    Bi-weekly check-ins with your physician

  • Full lab testing (included) to track your progress safely

  • Ongoing support from our wellness team for lasting change


This Is Your Time
Caring for yourself shouldn't feel like a luxury—it should feel like coming home.

The longer we put off our own needs, the harder it gets to feel like ourselves again. This program is here to change that. With limited spots available, we keep the care personal, the attention high-touch, and the outcomes powerful.

If you're ready to step into a new chapter with more clarity, more confidence, and more support—we’re here to walk beside you.

Let’s begin. Together.
