If you’re using or considering GLP-1 medications for weight loss—such as semaglutide (Wegovy) or tirzepatide—you’re not alone. These medications represent a major shift in obesity and metabolic care. Research shows they can produce meaningful weight loss by mimicking incretin hormones that reduce appetite and improve insulin sensitivity.

My name is Dr. Daniel Farkas, D.C., and at Back to Health Natural Solutions, I’ve developed a GLP-1 Metabolic Support & Transition Program to help people not only lose weight, but also protect their metabolism, digestion, and long-term health while using these medications.

Why GLP-1 Users Need More Than a Prescription

Clinical trials show GLP-1 receptor agonists can lead to 10–20% reductions in body weight. However, many people experience side effects such as nausea, bloating, constipation, fatigue, and muscle loss. Without proper nutritional and functional support, rapid weight loss can also increase the risk of rebound weight gain after stopping the medication.

A Functional Medicine Approach to GLP-1 Weight Loss

At Back to Health Natural Solutions, we don’t prescribe GLP-1 medications—we support the process naturally. Our program focuses on gut health, protein intake to preserve lean muscle, targeted supplementation, blood sugar balance, and lifestyle coaching so your results are sustainable long after the medication ends.

What Makes My Program Different

Most programs focus only on the drug. My approach looks at the whole person: digestion, nervous system regulation, metabolic resilience, and habit change. You receive real human coaching and a clear transition plan for life beyond GLP-1s.

Who This GLP-1 Side Effect Program Is For

This program is ideal if you are currently using a GLP-1 medication, struggling with side effects, worried about stopping, or looking for a natural functional medicine plan to protect your health while losing weight.
