The Sanctuary Wellness Institute offers physician-supervised weight management through telehealth, including treatment with medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide when medically appropriate.
A licensed healthcare provider reviews each patient's medical history, treatment goals, and eligibility to develop an individualized weight management plan. Follow-up care and clinical monitoring are provided through secure telehealth consultations.
If medication is prescribed, the prescription is filled by a state-licensed pharmacy. Depending on the medication and pharmacy, it may be shipped directly to your home or available for pharmacy pickup. Patients prescribed an injectable medication receive instructions on proper administration.

Is GLP-1 Weight Loss a Good Fit for You?
I’ve had an excellent experience getting on a weight loss drug with Sanctuary. The doctor couldn’t be better and I began losing weight almost immediately. The price is half what you pay at the pharmacy...

Three Simple Steps for Losing Weight
No payment is required prior to your initial consultation. You will discuss your goals with the doctor and receive an order for blood work if you are a good candidate and wish to move forward.
Meet with the doctor for a telehealth appointment to review your lab results and discuss the details of your treatment plan. The doctor will explain potential side effects, answer any questions, and outline what to expect from treatment.
We will then refer you to a pharmacy and facilitate the payment and fulfillment of your medication. Your medication will be shipped directly to you at your home, along with clear instructions for self-administration. You may also have your prescription sent to your local pharmacy for pickup.

The effects of semaglutide vary from patient to patient. Your response may not match the timing below. This chart provides a general overview of what you may experience during treatment.
| Month | Semaglutide Timeline |
|---|---|
| ONE | Treatment typically begins at a low dose. Some patients may notice reduced appetite, while side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, or abdominal discomfort may occur. |
| TWO | Your healthcare provider may continue gradually increasing your dose based on your treatment plan and how well you tolerate the medication. Changes in appetite and weight may become more noticeable. |
| THREE | Weight loss may continue as treatment progresses. Individual results vary based on factors such as dosage, diet, physical activity, medical conditions, and response to treatment. |
| FOUR | Your healthcare provider may assess your progress, side effects, and response to treatment and determine whether any changes to your treatment plan are appropriate. |
| FIVE | Weight loss may continue with ongoing treatment, a reduced-calorie diet, and increased physical activity. The amount and rate of weight loss vary from person to person. |
| SIX | With ongoing medical supervision, treatment may continue as part of a long-term weight management plan that includes healthy eating and physical activity. |
Semaglutide can be effective for weight loss, but some people may experience side effects as their body adjusts. The intensity and type of side effects can vary, and not everyone will experience them. Common side effects may include:
Most side effects are mild and temporary. To help minimize discomfort, it can be beneficial to eat smaller, low-fat meals, stay hydrated, and follow your healthcare provider’s guidance.
