GLP-1 Therapy
Medical Weight
Loss Program
Lake Forest, Illinois
A personalized medical program
designed to support appetite control
and long-term weight loss.
Lake Forest Regenesis offers doctor-guided GLP-1 medical weight loss as part of a personalized, medically supervised program designed to support appetite control and long-term results in Lake Forest, the North Shore, and Lake County.
Clinical Overview of GLP-1 Therapy
A medically supervised approach to weight loss that supports appetite control and metabolic health.
GLP-1 medical weight loss programs use prescription medications that work with the body’s natural appetite and blood sugar regulation systems. GLP-1, or glucagon-like peptide-1, is a hormone that helps signal fullness, slow digestion, and support balanced blood sugar levels. When used as part of a medically supervised program, GLP-1–based treatment may support safe and steady weight loss.
At Lake Forest Regenesis, GLP-1 medications are prescribed only after a full medical evaluation by a licensed provider. Each patient’s health history, goals, and metabolic factors are carefully reviewed to determine if treatment is appropriate. GLP-1 therapy is not a standalone solution and is used as part of a comprehensive medical weight loss program.
Patients in the program receive ongoing provider monitoring, personalized dosing, and guidance to support long-term results. Progress is tracked regularly, and treatment plans are adjusted as needed to promote safety and effectiveness. Lifestyle factors such as nutrition, activity, and metabolic health are also addressed.
GLP-1 medical weight loss is designed to support appetite control and metabolic health while helping patients build sustainable habits for lasting weight management. Results vary, and continued medical oversight is an essential part of care.
Semaglutide Medical Weight Loss
A GLP-1–based treatment that may help reduce appetite and support medically supervised weight loss.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1–based medication that may support weight loss by helping reduce appetite and improve feelings of fullness. It works by mimicking a natural hormone involved in hunger signaling and blood sugar regulation. When used as part of a medically supervised weight loss program, semaglutide may help patients manage portion sizes and reduce cravings.
At Lake Forest Regenesis, semaglutide is prescribed only after a medical evaluation by a licensed provider. Dosing is personalized and adjusted over time based on patient response and tolerance. Ongoing monitoring helps support safety and effectiveness throughout treatment. Semaglutide is not a quick fix and is most effective when combined with healthy nutrition, lifestyle guidance, and regular medical follow-up. Results vary, and not every patient is a candidate for treatment.
Tirzepatide Medical Weight Loss
A dual-hormone treatment that may help regulate appetite and support medically supervised weight loss.
Tirzepatide is a medication that targets two hormone pathways involved in appetite control and metabolic function. By acting on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, tirzepatide may provide enhanced support for appetite regulation and blood sugar balance. This dual action may make it an option for patients who have struggled with weight loss in the past.
Tirzepatide is prescribed at Lake Forest Regenesis only when a licensed provider determines it is medically appropriate. Each treatment plan is customized, with careful dose adjustments and ongoing monitoring. Patients receive regular follow-up to track progress, manage side effects, and support long-term success. Tirzepatide is used as part of a comprehensive medical weight loss program that includes lifestyle support and provider oversight. Individual results vary, and medical supervision is required.
Because GLP-1 Therapy is a medical treatment, clinical oversight and patient safety are essential components of care.
Clinical Oversight & Safety
All GLP-1 medical weight loss programs at Lake Forest Regenesis are guided by licensed medical providers and begin with a comprehensive health evaluation. Medical history, current medications, and individual weight loss goals are carefully reviewed to determine whether GLP-1 treatment is appropriate. When prescribed, dosing is personalized and adjusted gradually to support safety and tolerance.
Patients receive ongoing medical oversight throughout the program, including regular check-ins to monitor progress and response to treatment. Potential side effects, risks, and expectations are discussed before and during care. Treatment plans may be modified or discontinued based on clinical response or medical need. GLP-1 therapy is used as part of a comprehensive medical weight loss program and is not a standalone treatment. Individual results vary, and continued provider supervision is an essential part of safe and effective care.

What to Expect From a GLP-1 Therapy Program
A clear, provider-guided process focused on safety, support, and steady progress.
Your GLP-1 weight loss journey at Lake Forest Regenesis begins with a medical consultation and health review. A licensed provider evaluates your medical history, current medications, and weight loss goals to determine if GLP-1 treatment is appropriate.
If prescribed, your treatment plan is personalized to your needs. Medication dosing starts gradually and may be adjusted over time based on your response and tolerance. Ongoing provider check-ins help monitor progress, address side effects, and support safety throughout the program.
Patients can expect a structured approach that focuses on appetite control, metabolic support, and long-term health. Lifestyle guidance, progress tracking, and regular communication are part of care. Weight loss results vary, and progress typically occurs gradually rather than overnight.
GLP-1 therapy is not a standalone solution and works best as part of a comprehensive, medically supervised program. Continued medical oversight helps ensure treatment remains safe, effective, and aligned with your health goals.
Your Weight Loss, Guided by Medicine — Not Guesswork

At Lake Forest Regenesis, your care is guided by licensed medical providers who monitor progress and adjust treatment as your body responds. Appetite changes happen gradually, and steady progress is the goal. Support does not end after a prescription.

This approach is designed to help patients build confidence, consistency, and sustainable habits. Weight loss looks different for everyone, and results vary, but medical guidance helps remove the trial-and-error that often leads to frustration. The focus is long-term health, not short-term trends.
