Your GLP-1 Care questions answered
Here are answers to most common questions
GLP-1 receptor agonists are prescription medications that may help regulate appetite, blood sugar, and metabolism. For women, hormones, life stage, and muscle mass all play a role, so care should be designed with that full context in mind.
Eligibility depends on factors like BMI, medical history, and existing conditions. We review your full health history—including conditions like PCOS, perimenopause, or recent pregnancy—to determine whether treatment is appropriate. In some cases, we may require lab testing or prior medical records depending on your health history and location.
Common side effects can include nausea, fatigue, constipation, or gastrointestinal discomfort. Hormonal shifts can also influence how women experience them, which is why we adjust dosing thoughtfully and proactively. GLP-1 medications can also carry serious risks, which your provider will review with you.
Most GLP-1 programs stop at the prescription. Maven integrates GLP-1 care into a broader women’s health model—combining clinical oversight, nutrition guidance, side effect and muscle-preserving support, and hormone-aware care across life stages.
GLP-1 medications influence appetite and insulin sensitivity—both of which intersect with hormonal health. We consider menstrual changes, PCOS, perimenopause, and reproductive planning when guiding treatment.
We prescribe only FDA-approved GLP-1 medications, including semaglutide (Wegovy®, Ozempic®), tirzepatide (Zepbound®), and orforglipron (Foundayo®). We don’t offer compounded formulations.
Your monthly membership covers visits with your GLP-1 Care Team, dose adjustments, and two free specialist consultations for nutrition guidance and strength training support. GLP-1 medication costs are billed separately and may be covered by insurance. We help you understand potential coverage and self-pay options if needed.
Yes. We'll help you understand your insurance benefits and explore potential coverage options. If insurance doesn't cover your medication, we'll discuss self-pay pricing and alternative options.
Treatment duration is personal. Some women stay on GLP-1s long-term; others use them as a bridge to sustainable lifestyle changes. We help you develop a plan that makes sense for you.
We build lifestyle habits and metabolic support into your care from day one—so if you decide to stop, you're set up to maintain your progress. Many people regain some weight after discontinuation, which is why we focus on sustainable, long-term health throughout your journey.
