It starts with an $89 consultation and a 100+ biomarker panel, InBody body composition and, where useful, PNOĒ resting metabolic rate testing. Your clinician then builds a plan that may include GLP-1 medication such as tirzepatide when clinically appropriate, protein and training targets to protect muscle, and check-ins every 4 to 6 weeks to adjust dose and nutrition.

GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide, and dual GIP/GLP-1 agonists such as tirzepatide, reduce appetite, slow stomach emptying and improve blood sugar control. They are prescription medications that require clinical evaluation and monitoring.

When clinically appropriate, BIOGENEX prescribes FDA-approved GLP-1 medication such as tirzepatide. The right choice depends on your history, labs, goals, prior response and how you tolerate the medication, and the dose is adjusted at each check-in. If you want to learn more about a specific GLP-1 compound and which one is best for you, book your $89 consultation.

Both work. Tirzepatide acts on two hormone receptors (GIP and GLP-1) and produced more weight loss in the head-to-head SURMOUNT-5 trial: an average of 20.2% of body weight at 72 weeks, versus 13.7% with semaglutide. Semaglutide has the largest cardiovascular outcome data, including a 20% reduction in major cardiac events in the SELECT trial. Your clinician weighs both against your history and goals.

Retatrutide is a once-weekly triple agonist that acts on GIP, GLP-1 and glucagon receptors. In the phase 3 TRIUMPH-1 trial, adults without diabetes lost an average of 28.3% of body weight at 80 weeks on the 12 mg dose, and 30.3% at 104 weeks in an extension group. It is still investigational and in clinical trials. Ask about it at your consultation and we will walk you through the latest data.

Some of the weight lost on any calorie deficit can come from lean mass. BIOGENEX tracks body composition with InBody at every milestone and sets protein and resistance-training targets so the weight you lose is mostly fat.

Thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, low testosterone, perimenopause and high cortisol can all make weight loss harder. Testing 100+ biomarkers first means the plan addresses the cause, not only appetite.

The initial consultation is $89. Program pricing depends on the medication and plan chosen and is set at your consultation. Laboratory charges are billed separately. Weight loss members receive 20% off PNOĒ metabolic testing, which starts at $150.

Clinician check-ins happen every 4 to 6 weeks during active treatment, with dose, side effects, InBody results and nutrition reviewed each time.

Weight regain is common after stopping GLP-1 medication without a plan. BIOGENEX uses the treatment period to build muscle, habits and metabolic data, then tapers and adjusts with you rather than stopping abruptly.

Yes. Consultations and check-ins are available by telehealth across Connecticut and in other states where the treating clinician is licensed. InBody and PNOĒ testing are done in person at 51 East Main St, Avon, CT.

Online services usually send a prescription after a questionnaire. BIOGENEX starts with labs and body composition, sees you every 4 to 6 weeks, protects muscle, and treats the hormonal and metabolic causes behind weight gain.
