GLP-1 Medical Weight Loss at AMG MedSpa in Gastonia, NC
You’re Not Lazy. Your Body’s Just Been Fighting You.
You’ve counted the calories. You’ve done the cardio. You’ve skipped meals, cut carbs, pushed harder. And still, the weight lingers—maybe even returns. If you’re here, it’s not because you haven’t tried. It’s because your body hasn’t been responding. Until now.
At AMG MedSpa, we offer a different path—GLP-1 weight loss therapy, guided by medicine, science, and the lived experience of people who are done blaming themselves.
With medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide, and clinical oversight from Dr. Eric Ibegbu, a nationally recognized physician in metabolic and endobariatric health, this program helps you finally realign how your body manages hunger, blood sugar, and fat storage.
What Is GLP-1?
GLP-1 stands for glucagon-like peptide-1, a hormone your body naturally produces in the gut. It plays a vital role in signaling fullness, regulating blood sugar, and controlling appetite. But for many people—especially those struggling with weight, insulin resistance, or hormonal imbalance—this system isn’t firing properly.
GLP-1 medications (like semaglutide, found in Ozempic and Wegovy, and tirzepatide, found in Mounjaro and Zepbound) act as hormone mimics, amplifying your body’s natural signaling to:
- Slow the rate at which your stomach empties (you feel full longer)
- Improve the brain’s perception of satiety (you feel satisfied sooner)
- Reduce appetite and cravings (you think about food less)
- Regulate blood sugar and insulin levels (you avoid crashes and spikes)
- Improve metabolic function and support fat loss
Who Is This For?
This program is designed for people who have tried everything—and are done wasting time on what doesn’t work. It’s for patients who want a medically sound, sustainable way forward.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have a BMI over 27 with conditions like prediabetes, high blood pressure, or PCOS
- Have a BMI over 30 with long-term weight struggles
- Experience emotional or binge eating patterns
- Feel like your hunger is always in the driver’s seat
- Have gained weight due to menopause, stress, or hormonal shifts
- Are dealing with weight regain after dieting or surgery
What Sets AMG MedSpa Apart
GLP-1 medications are powerful. But they’re not a magic bullet. Success depends on how they’re used, how they’re monitored, and who’s guiding you.
At AMG MedSpa, your program is led by Dr. Eric Ibegbu, a board-certified gastroenterologist and endobariatric physician.
Dr. Ibegbu is one of the few doctors in North Carolina specializing in non-surgical medical weight loss backed by decades of metabolic medicine expertise. This is not a pharmacy-first program. This is a full-body, whole-life approach to lasting change.
Here’s what you get:
- In-depth consultation and full health screening
- Customized medication protocols (semaglutide or tirzepatide)
- Lab work to monitor metabolic function
- Ongoing adjustments based on your progress
- Nutritional support and lifestyle coaching
- Optional add-ons like IV therapy, Emsculpt NEO, and hormone support to accelerate results
