What types of doctors prescribe GLP-1 medications?
Obesity Medicine — Physicians with additional board certification in obesity treatment. They specialize in weight management medications, including GLP-1s, and often have the most experience managing side effects and dosing.
Endocrinology — Specialists in hormones and metabolism. Many endocrinologists prescribe GLP-1 medications for type 2 diabetes and increasingly for weight management.
Family Medicine / Internal Medicine — Primary care doctors who handle the majority of GLP-1 prescriptions. A good starting point if you don't have a specialist referral.
Nurse Practitioners — Advanced practice nurses with prescribing authority in most states. Many NPs specialize in weight management or primary care and are experienced with GLP-1 medications.
Preparing for your prescriber visit
Before your appointment, write down any prior weight loss attempts and your current medications. Ask about insurance coverage — some plans require prior authorization for GLP-1 medications. Understanding your protein needs beforehand can help you and your provider plan for adequate nutrition during treatment.
