We’re clearing up some of the most common misconceptions.
1. “Compounded GLP-1s are unsafe or low quality,”
MYTH
BioRestore’s compounded GLP-1 injections are made in FDA-registered U.S. pharmacies. They’re a clinically appropriate option when determined by your provider, and a legitimate alternative to brand-name medications.
2. “GLP-1 medications can benefit your heart health, not just your weight.”
FACT
The SELECT trial showed that once-weekly semaglutide reduced the risk of major cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke by approximately 20% in people with obesity and heart disease.
3. “Weight loss medication means you don’t have to change your lifestyle.”
MYTH
Medications like GLP-1s work best as part of a complete, personalized plan. At BioRestore, every patient receives a customized approach tailored to their health history, goals, and lifestyle.
4. “There is no one-size-fits-all solution to weight loss”
FACT
That’s exactly how we practice at BioRestore. Your plan is built around your labs, your symptoms, and your goals, not a generic protocol.
5. “You have to be severely obese to qualify for medical weight loss.”
MYTH
Medical weight loss at BioRestore is for anyone looking to safely manage their weight and optimize their metabolism. Your clinician evaluates your individual health history, not just a number on the scale.
