GLP-1 medications are prescription treatments that mimic a natural hormone your body produces after eating. This hormone helps regulate blood sugar, appetite, digestion, and communication between the gut, brain, pancreas, and liver. By improving these signals, GLP-1 medications can help reduce cravings, improve insulin response, stabilize blood sugar, and decrease "food noise"—the constant thoughts about food and eating that many women experience.

No. While weight loss can be one result, GLP-1 medications are often used to address underlying metabolic issues such as insulin resistance, prediabetes, PCOS, and perimenopausal metabolic changes. At Evolved Women's Health, GLP-1 therapy is viewed as a metabolic support tool that helps the body respond more effectively to nutrition and lifestyle interventions, rather than as a stand-alone weight loss solution.

You may be a candidate if you're experiencing symptoms such as weight gain despite healthy habits, difficulty losing weight with diet and exercise, increased cravings, insulin resistance, or metabolic changes related to perimenopause or PCOS. However, determining whether GLP-1 therapy is appropriate requires a comprehensive evaluation by a qualified medical provider who can assess your overall metabolic health and goals.

Absolutely. GLP-1 medications work best when combined with a comprehensive health plan that includes adequate protein intake, strength training, nutrition support, and ongoing medical supervision. The goal is not to eat less at all costs, but to improve metabolic function so healthy lifestyle habits can be more effective and sustainable long term.

Yes. At Evolved Women's Health, our Nurse Practitioners perform a comprehensive metabolic evaluation to determine whether GLP-1 therapy is appropriate for your unique situation. If you're struggling with weight changes, insulin resistance, or metabolic shifts that don't seem to respond to your usual efforts, we can help you explore your options and create a personalized treatment plan.

A functional women’s health clinic looks at you as a whole person — not just one symptom at a time. What truly sets us apart is how we blended medical care, lifestyle support, and community into one seamless program that helps women feel better for life, not just for a moment.

We’re built around three pillars of health:

Physical health: We combine integrative medicine — like advanced testing, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), GLP‑1 support, vitamin injections, and IV therapy — with personalized plans that make sense for your body and goals.

Mental health: We partner with The Journey Within, an outpatient psychiatry clinic offering compassionate psychiatric care, medication management, specialized therapies (like CBT, DBT, IFS, and ketamine‑assisted therapy), and individualized support to help you navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and more.

Social health: Because connection matters, we host community events, classes, and support opportunities — check our events calendar and sign up for something that inspires you. Being part of a supportive group makes health changes feel less like a chore and more like a movement. Other clinics might treat one piece of the puzzle. We help you thrive across all three — body, mind, and community — because lasting health doesn’t happen in a vacuum.

We do not accept insurance. Our practice is intentionally cash-pay so we can focus on personalized, root-cause care rather than insurance-driven limitations. Unfortunately, the traditional insurance model often rewards volume and short visits—not long-term healing. That said, many insurance plans will cover the lab tests we order. When labs are needed, we provide you with the lab order, and you’ll work directly with the lab to determine what your insurance will or will not cover. You will pay the lab and present your insurance card to them—not to us. All consultations, treatments, and services provided by our clinic are cash pay. If you choose to submit anything to your insurance for possible reimbursement, that process is entirely up to you and your insurance provider.

Yes! Most of our services are eligible for payment using HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) funds. We recommend checking with your plan administrator if you have specific questions about eligibility, but many clients successfully use their HSA/FSA cards for care with us.
