GLP-1 medications are a type of injectable medication used for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight and weight-related health conditions. These medications work by mimicking a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1. This hormone helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. When you take GLP-1 medication, it signals to your body that you're full, which can help you feel less hungry and eat less overall. By reducing hunger and potentially influencing other factors like how your body absorbs nutrients, GLP-1 medications can be a tool for weight loss and weight management.
Unlike traditional programs that primarily focus on physical health, we address both the physical and psychological aspects of weight loss. Our comprehensive program provides access to a multidisciplinary team, including doctors, nurses, nutritionists, and life coaches, all conveniently available through our app.
Our program has proven effective in helping individuals achieve significant weight loss. Combining our prescribed medications with a healthy lifestyle, patients often experience an average weight reduction of 12% within the first 10 weeks. Even a 5-10% weight loss can dramatically improve overall health by reducing risks associated with conditions like diabetes and heart disease.
GLP-1 medication is primarily prescribed for individuals with a BMI of 27 or higher. However, it can also be a beneficial option for those struggling to achieve their weight goals despite dietary and lifestyle changes.
Losing weight can be challenging, but at Vi-Lifestyle, we offer support to make the process easier. We combine personal coaching with medication in the form of injections. These injections work similarly to the natural substance GLP-1, which is released in your intestines after eating a meal. This helps reduce your appetite, making you feel full sooner and potentially leading to less food intake.
However, the injection pen is just a tool. Equally important is our six-month intensive coaching program. With guidance from our treatment team, you will work step by step towards adjusting your lifestyle. With the right commitment and motivation, you can achieve sustainable changes and move towards a healthier life, with a possible weight loss of up to 22%.
To be eligible for the injection pen treatment at Vi-Lifestyle, you need to meet a few criteria, amongst which:
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You are not pregnant

During the intake, we will thoroughly discuss your health situation so you can make an informed decision about whether this treatment is right for you. Want to check if you're eligible for the programme? Click here!
