Weight loss journeys are as unique as the individuals who embark on them. We all have different body types, lifestyles, health histories and goals that shape what we need to achieve lasting results.

The Basics: What to Know About GLP-1s Before Getting Started 

• How do GLP-1s work? GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) mimic a naturally occurring hormone that regulates appetite, slows digestion and manages blood sugar levels, ultimately helping users eat less and feel fuller for longer.
• Who qualifies for GLP-1 medications? A good candidate for GLP-1 medication through Hims & Hers may include individuals with obesity or those who are overweight with a related health condition, and who are willing to incorporate lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise. A licensed healthcare provider determines final eligibility after a complete medical evaluation.
• How long does it take to hear back from Hims & Hers? A licensed medical provider will typically respond to prospective patients within 48 hours of completing the Weight Loss by Hims & Hers free online assessment. Current customers get a response from the care team in less than 24 hours.
• Are GLP-1s safe? GLP-1s are considered safe when prescribed and used correctly. The primary safety concerns involve potential dosing errors and the possibility of using unapproved or counterfeit ingredients, which can lead to serious adverse events.
• What are the side effects of GLP-1 drugs? Common side effects of GLP-1 medications, like those offered through Weight Loss by Hims & Hers, include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation and abdominal pain. More serious side effects, though less common, can include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems and acute kidney injury. These effects are often worse when first starting the medication or after a dose increase, and many are temporary.
