What to Say When Requesting GLP-1 Options

Why People Are Asking About GLP-1 Medications

GLP-1 medications have become a common topic in healthcare discussions related to metabolic health. Initially developed to help manage type 2 diabetes, some GLP-1 medications are now FDA-approved for chronic weight management when used alongside diet and activity modifications in qualifying patients.

For individuals who are exploring medically guided options for managing their weight, speaking with a licensed healthcare provider about GLP-1 treatments may be a productive first step. While bringing up a new treatment option can feel overwhelming, preparing for the conversation may help you feel more confident.

How to Start the Conversation

You don’t need to know everything to begin. A licensed healthcare provider is there to guide you through the process. Here are a few simple ways to open the conversation:

• “I’ve been reading about GLP-1 medications. Can we discuss whether they may be an option for me?”
  
• “I'm interested in treatment options that may support my metabolic health. Is a GLP-1 something we could consider?”
  
• “Can we talk about whether an FDA-approved GLP-1 medication might be part of a personalized plan for me?”
  
  

Licensed healthcare providers will consider your complete medical history, any current medications, and your health goals before making a treatment decision.
