GLP-1 Microdosing Program
Learn about our medically managed, 12-week GLP-1 microdosing program. This program is recommended for patients who need anti-inflammatory or modest body composition changes.
What is
microdosing?
Microdosing is using 1/5 of a weight loss dose of a GLP-1 to achieve various benefits, while reducing side effects.
Benefits May Include
- Reduced Inflammation: May lower systemic inflammation, which is at the root of heart disease, joint pain, and immune dysfunction.
- Improved blood sugar control: Stabilizes blood sugar even in non-diabetics, reducing cravings, boosting energy, and slowing inflammation-related aging.
- Enhanced insulin sensitivity: Helps the body process glucose more efficiently, reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome and supporting muscle mass.
- Cardiovascular protection: Lowers blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, and reduces the risk of cardiovascular events.
- Support for liver health: Reduces liver fat and improves fat metabolism, protecting against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
- Cognitive benefits: Emerging research suggests neuroprotective effects that may support mental clarity, memory, and focus.
- Reduced cravings: Many patients report lower cravings for alcohol, tobacco, and other substances.
- Modest change in body composition: Some patients see modest fat loss and muscle gain. For weight loss above 10 pounds, our Holistic Medical Weight Optimization Program is the better fit.
What to expect on your
three-month GLP-1 microdosing journey
- Step One If you are a new patient and you have not previously had a dedicated hormone optimization consult, we will schedule that first (prior to scheduling your first consultation) since hormone balance is foundational to success.
- Step Two Initial 30-minute consultation with a nurse practitioner. We will teach you to inject the medication and give you a vial for weekly use at home.
- Step Three 30-minute virtual or in-person check in every four weeks for 3 visits – includes body composition, review of nutrition, movement, medications and supplements.
- Step Four If your journey continues past 12 weeks, 30-minute check-ins monthly as needed until we reach your goal.
GLP-1 & Inflammation
Tiny doses. Big Potential.
Evidence
Currently, evidence for microdosing is observational and emerging. There is 1 trial underway that is actively studying the effectiveness of microdosed GLP‑1 receptor agonists for improving health and quality of life. ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT07092605, July 30, 2025)
Here are a few trials that support use of GLP-1’s for other than diabetes and weight loss. The doses used were standard doses.
