A smarter, gentler approach to weight loss, metabolism, and longevity at Berkley Wellness

Why Microdose?

GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are well-known for helping patients lose weight—but weight loss is just one benefit. Microdosing with GLP-1s, as recomme==nded by many functional medicine experts, takes a more targeted, sustainable, and health-first approach.

Unlike high-dose regimens that focus on rapid fat loss, GLP-1 microdosing prioritizes long-term metabolic health without the burnout, nausea, or nutritional depletion often seen at higher doses.

What is GLP-1 Microdosing?

Microdosing involves using very small, strategic doses of GLP-1 medications (as low as 0.125 mg per week) to:

  • Stimulate satiety and reduce cravings
  • Improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar regulation
  • Support hormonal balance and digestive health
  • Boost energy without taxing your system
  • Enhance cellular repair and inflammation control

This approach is ideal for patients who are:

✔ Sensitive to medications

✔ Focused on healthspan and aging well

✔ Experiencing weight plateaus or metabolic resistance

✔ Dealing with hormone imbalances or adrenal dysfunction

✔ Looking for a gentler start on their weight loss journey

 

Benefits of the Microdose Protocol:

✅ Minimal side effects (less nausea, fatigue, or appetite suppression)

✅ Preserves muscle mass and metabolic rate

✅ Supports mitochondrial health and anti-inflammatory pathways

✅ Integrates easily with hormone therapy, peptides, and supplements

✅ Encourages intuitive eating and long-term lifestyle change

How It Works at Berkley Wellness:

  • Monthly microdose vial of Semaglutide or Tirzepatide
  • Access to your provider for check-ins and support
  • Bundled clinical visits with no surprise fees
  • Optional upgrades for coaching, labs, or higher doses as needed

Our goal? To help you feel better, think clearer, move easier—and live longer.
