All plans are cash pay. GLP-1 medication costs are separate and sent to your pharmacy. No hidden fees. Cancel anytime.
Clinical Note: Due to the nature of these medications, consistent follow-up is strongly recommended. Patients requiring ongoing support, dose adjustments, or frequent communication may be transitioned to the monthly membership for optimal care.
Lasting change isn't built on restriction. It's built on understanding your body, your patterns, and what your biology actually needs.
How it works
Book Your Consult
Schedule a telehealth visit with Dr. Peku.
We'll review your full health history, goals, and determine if a GLP-1 medication is right for you, safely and thoroughly.
Receive Your Prescription
Once we've done a proper evaluation together, your prescription goes to your preferred pharmacy — usually within a few days.
Ongoing Support
Check-ins and support are built into every plan.
Follow-up check-ins, dosage adjustments, lifestyle guidance, and mental health support throughout your journey.
What a psychiatric nurse practitioner adds
Most GLP-1 programs stop at the prescription. Dr. Peku is a dual board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner — she treats the parts of your story that drive weight gain in the first place, not just the number on the scale.
When Food Is About More Than Hunger
Stress eating, night eating, eating to numb out — these patterns don't respond to willpower alone. We address what's actually driving them, alongside the medication.
Your Mental Health Isn't Separate From Your Weight
Depression, anxiety, and chronic stress all affect appetite, cravings, and metabolism. As a psychiatric NP, Dr. Peku can treat both — not just one and hope the other follows.
Hormonal Weight Gain Isn't "All in Your Head"
Perimenopause changes how your body holds weight, often resistant to diet and exercise alone. We factor hormonal shifts into your care plan, not around it.

What the research shows about GLP-1s
15%
In clinical trials, semaglutide 2.4 mg produced about 15% average weight loss over 68 weeks. Individual results vary.
Everything you want to know
GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic a natural hormone in your body, reducing appetite, slowing digestion, and helping regulate blood sugar.
This leads to significant, sustainable weight loss. Examples include semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®).
GLP-1 medications are typically appropriate for adults with a BMI of 27+ with a weight-related condition, or a BMI of 30+.
During your consultation, Dr. Peku will review your full history to determine the safest and most effective approach for you.
Coverage varies by insurance plan. Some plans cover GLP-1 medications, especially when prescribed for diabetes or obesity.
We'll discuss costs and options during your consultation. Cash pay is also available.
Most people start noticing changes within the first couple of months. Doses increase gradually, so the full effect takes time — often six months or more. Everyone's different.
Common side effects include mild nausea, reduced appetite, and occasional fatigue, especially in the early weeks.
These typically improve as your body adjusts. Dr. Peku will guide dosage titration to minimize discomfort.
