GLP-1 Medications & Weight Loss Injections We Offer

Looking for a weight loss clinic near you that offers compounded GLP-1 therapy? We prescribe and manage compounded semaglutide, compounded tirzepatide, and phentermine at our Fort Collins clinic, with provider oversight and ongoing dose adjustment based on your response.

Compounded Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist used clinically for chronic weight management. It works by curbing appetite, slowing gastric emptying, and helping regulate blood sugar — so you feel full sooner and stay satisfied longer. At Peak Medical Wellness we prescribe compounded semaglutide prepared by licensed United States compounding pharmacies, with most patients seeing meaningful changes in appetite and weight over 3–6 months of provider-supervised treatment and ongoing dose adjustment.

Learn more in our complete guide to semaglutide for weight loss — how it works, dosing, and what to expect.

Compounded Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a once-weekly dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist — meaning it activates two metabolic pathways instead of one. At Peak Medical Wellness we prescribe compounded tirzepatide prepared by licensed United States compounding pharmacies. Clinical studies show tirzepatide tends to produce greater average weight loss than semaglutide, though individual response varies.

Phentermine

Phentermine is an oral appetite suppressant — an option for patients who don't tolerate GLP-1 injections, want a non-injectable medication, or need a more affordable approach. Our Fort Collins providers prescribe phentermine when it's clinically appropriate and monitor your response over time.

Brand-Name GLP-1s vs. Compounded — What's the Difference?

Semaglutide is the active ingredient in brand-name medications including Ozempic® and Wegovy®. Tirzepatide is the active ingredient in Mounjaro® and Zepbound®. These FDA-approved brand-name products are manufactured by major pharmaceutical companies (Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly) and prescribed widely for type 2 diabetes management and chronic weight management.

At Peak Medical Wellness, we prescribe compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide — prepared by licensed United States compounding pharmacies — when clinically appropriate. Compounded formulations contain the same active ingredient as the brand-name versions, but they are not interchangeable with FDA-approved branded products and are dispensed under a different regulatory pathway. We do not prescribe brand-name Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, or Zepbound®.

Many Fort Collins patients come to us specifically because compounded GLP-1 therapy is often more accessible — both in cost and in supply — than the brand-name alternatives. Whether a compounded or brand-name option is right for you depends on your goals, medical history, insurance situation, and individual response. Our providers walk you through these considerations during your consultation rather than defaulting to a one-size-fits-all answer.

Hormones, Weight, and Why We Often Test Both

A pattern we see often at Peak Medical Wellness: patients come in for weight loss, get great results, and then realize that hormones were part of the picture all along. Declining testosterone in men, perimenopause and menopause in women, and thyroid imbalances in both — all of these affect metabolism, body composition, energy, and how well your body responds to weight loss treatment in the first place.

Weight loss medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide work — but they work better when underlying hormone imbalances are also addressed. Many patients who started with us for weight loss continue with men's TRT or women's hormone replacement therapy because the combination supports muscle retention during weight loss, sustains energy, improves sleep, and addresses the symptoms that diet and exercise alone won't fix.

If you're starting weight loss treatment, ask your provider about including a hormone panel. It's often the missing piece that explains why “everything used to work and now nothing does.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How is medical weight loss different from a diet?

Medical weight loss combines clinician oversight, prescription therapies, and metabolic testing. It is tailored to your hormones, appetite, and long-term health rather than generic calorie cutting.

Will I need lab testing?

Yes. We use lab testing to personalize your treatment, monitor safety, and ensure your metabolic hormones are optimized throughout the program.

Which GLP-1 medication is best for weight loss?

There is no single “best” GLP-1 — the right choice depends on your medical history, goals, and how your body responds. Compounded tirzepatide tends to produce greater average weight loss than compounded semaglutide in clinical studies, but semaglutide has a longer track record. Our Fort Collins providers help you choose based on your specific situation.

What is compounded semaglutide or compounded tirzepatide?

Compounded medications are prepared by licensed United States compounding pharmacies and contain the same active ingredient — semaglutide or tirzepatide — as the brand-name versions on the market. At Peak Medical Wellness we prescribe compounded GLP-1 therapy when clinically appropriate, with every patient receiving a provider-led evaluation, personalized dosing, and ongoing follow-up labs to support safety throughout treatment. Compounded medications are dispensed through licensed pharmacies that follow federal and state regulatory standards.

Do you offer phentermine in Fort Collins?

Yes. We prescribe phentermine when it's clinically appropriate. It's an oral appetite suppressant — separate from GLP-1 medications — that can work well for patients who don't tolerate GLP-1 injections or want a non-injectable option. Our providers evaluate whether phentermine fits your health profile and goals.

Can I combine weight loss therapy with other services?

Absolutely. Many patients combine weight loss with hormone optimization, peptide therapy, or recovery services to support overall wellness in Northern Colorado.
