Testimonial
At almost 50 years old and weighing 278 pounds, I didn’t realize just how heavy I’d gotten. As a former offensive lineman, carrying extra weight was part of my life, but it had started taking a toll on my health. I was on medication for blood pressure, cholesterol, and thyroid issues, and with young kids at home, I knew something had to change—but I wasn’t sure where to start.
It was my wife who suggested I try GLP-1 medication, and looking back, I’m so grateful for her encouragement. Before starting, I was running 4-5 times a week, covering 4 miles each run, but my eating habits were holding me back. I could easily consume 2,000-3,000 calories at lunch without thinking twice.
Once I began the GLP-1 treatment, it was truly life-changing. My appetite decreased significantly, and the weight started coming off steadily. I went from 278 pounds to 235 pounds. My side effects were minimal—almost unnoticeable—and the physical and emotional transformation has been incredible.
That said, I’ve learned that GLP-1s are just one tool in the toolbox for sustained weight loss. To truly succeed, I’ve had to stay active, drink plenty of water, and focus on increasing my protein intake. It’s the combination of these efforts that has made the weight loss sustainable and improved my overall health.
If you’re hesitant to try GLP-1s, I encourage you to schedule a consultation at Rae Anne Aesthetics. The guidance and support I received made all the difference, and it could do the same for you.
Today, I feel healthier, more energetic, and better equipped to keep up with my kids. GLP-1s gave me the push I needed to make changes I never thought possible—and they can help you, too.”

Answers to Your GLP-1 FAQs Await…
GLP-1s (or GLP-1 agonists) are a group of type 2 diabetes drugs that have been shown to help with independent weight loss for certain patients. You may be more familiar with these drugs by names like:
- Semaglutides
- Tirzepatides
- Weight loss peptides
- Or brand names like Ozempic and Wegovy
GLP-1 agonists are administered by injections performed weekly. The GLP-1 drugs act by imitating the hormone glucagon-like peptide 1, which plays a critical role in regulating blood sugar levels. When an individual consumes food, these medications prompt the pancreas to release additional insulin, effectively lowering blood sugar levels and assisting in the management of type 2 diabetes.
While they are FDA-approved, the exact mechanism behind their weight loss effects remains unclear. It is known that GLP-1 drugs help suppress appetite and prolong the time it takes for food to move from the stomach into the small intestine. Consequently, users often experience a greater sense of fullness, leading to reduced food intake over time.
You may know some of these recognizable brand names for semaglutides:
- Ozempic
- Wegovy
- Rybelsus
These treatments are also associated with similar drugs called tirzepatides (e.g., Mounjaro and Zepbound).
However, not all of these injectables are suitable for everyone. Book a consultation with Rae Anne Aesthetics to assess your weight loss goals and discuss the right GLP-1 therapy for you.
At Rae Anne Aesthetics, our weight loss program is personalized to meet your specific needs, with hands-on support from our staff. It begins with an initial consultation priced at $150, during which we discuss potential side effects, take vital signs, and conduct a comprehensive examination to determine your eligibility. If lab work is needed, it’s included in the consultation fee.
After that, we’ll guide you through how to administer your GLP-1 injections and schedule follow-up appointments every four weeks for vital checks and weight assessments, as well as provide you with a refill of your injectable medication. While we are not nutritionists, our team has completed courses in weight management and will offer general dietary recommendations, hydration advice, and suggestions for supplements that can enhance your weight loss outcomes.
The therapy requires some time to take full effect, with a “ramping-up” period occurring during the first 1 to 2 months, where initial weight loss may not be immediately measurable. However, after this initial phase, many individuals experience significant weight loss that progresses more quickly than with similar programs. Typically, patients can expect to notice a gradual but steady reduction in weight within the first 1 to 3 months, although individual results may vary.
