What Your First Months Look Like

GLP-1 medicines are among the most studied weight-loss treatments. Here's how a program usually unfolds for Brookings patients, from your first dose to the habits that help you keep going.

What your first months look like

  1. Getting started

    You start your secure online intake and a provider licensed in South Dakota reviews your health history. If GLP-1 care is a good fit, your provider prescribes a starting dose and your medication ships to your Brookings address.

  2. Dose check-ins

    GLP-1 medicines start at a low dose that goes up gradually. Your provider checks how you are feeling, asks about side effects and decides whether and when to adjust your dose.

  3. Coaching

    Your care coach helps you plan meals, get enough protein and fluids, and build habits that last. Coaches don’t prescribe; every medical decision stays with your provider.

  4. What to expect

    A smaller appetite is often the first change people notice. Side effects such as nausea are most common as the dose goes up and often ease as your body adjusts. Everyone responds differently, so your plan is adjusted around you.

Your provider decides whether a GLP-1 medicine is right for you, and at what dose. Tell your provider or care team right away about any side effect that worries you.

Early on

You start on a low dose that goes up step by step. Appetite usually changes first.

As your dose builds

Your provider adjusts your dose based on how you feel and how you are progressing.

Longer term

Progress tends to slow over time. Your coach helps you plan to keep the habits that work for you.

Is it right for me?

Who it's for, and who should talk to a provider first

GLP-1 medicines help many adults lose weight. They aren't right for everyone.

Good candidates

  • Adults with a BMI of 27 or more, or 25 or more with a weight-related condition. Your provider makes the final decision.
  • People who've tried diet and exercise without lasting results
  • People ready for a weekly injection or daily tablet and regular check-ins

Who it's not for

  • Pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive
  • A personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2
  • Past pancreatitis
  • Type 1 diabetes

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation and decreased appetite, especially as your dose increases. Your provider reviews your history and safety information before prescribing. Not a fit for full-dose GLP-1? Microdosing may fit.

Why Brookings chooses Bold You

Why Brookings Residents Are Choosing Bold You

Traditional in-person weight loss clinics often mean long waitlists, insurance pre-authorizations, and costs that climb as your treatment progresses. Telehealth removes those friction points without removing the clinical oversight that makes treatment safe.

No waitlist — reviewed in 24 to 48 hours

Because your intake is reviewed by a provider licensed in South Dakota rather than scheduled around clinic hours, most Brookings patients hear back within 24 to 48 hours instead of waiting weeks for an appointment.

A real coach, not just a prescription

Every plan includes a personal care coach who checks in every two weeks — someone who follows your progress over time, not a one-time consultation.

One flat price

Your subscription price is set when you sign up and stays the same even as your provider increases your dose over time.
