At MD Wellness Center & Med Spa, we offer medically supervised GLP-1 weight loss injections in Indianapolis to help patients struggling with appetite control, cravings, stubborn weight gain, and difficulty losing weight through traditional dieting alone.
Our personalized programs may include advanced GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide to support sustainable weight management through weekly injections and ongoing medical guidance.
GLP-1 medications help support weight loss through several appetite and metabolic pathways.
Many patients struggle with constant hunger and frequent cravings throughout the day. GLP-1 medications help reduce appetite signals, allowing patients to feel satisfied with smaller meals.
These medications slow gastric emptying, which helps food remain in the stomach longer after eating. This can help reduce snacking and overeating between meals.
Some patients notice fewer cravings for processed foods, sugar, and large portions while taking GLP-1 medications.
GLP-1 medications may also help support healthier blood sugar regulation and metabolic function, which can play an important role in long-term weight management. Some patients experience improved eating habits and reduced fluctuations in hunger throughout the day while following a physician-guided treatment plan.
At MD Wellness Center & Med Spa, we provide personalized treatment plans using advanced GLP-1 medications based on individual patient needs.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 medication commonly used to support appetite regulation and sustainable weight loss through once-weekly injections.
Patients considering semaglutide treatment often struggle with:
Stubborn weight gain: Difficulty losing weight despite lifestyle changes
Frequent hunger: Constant appetite and difficulty feeling full
Portion control difficulties: Challenges managing serving sizes
Slow progress with diet and exercise: Minimal results despite consistent efforts
Cravings and overeating: Struggles with unhealthy cravings and excess eating
Many individuals begin noticing appetite changes within the first few weeks of treatment.
Tirzepatide is an advanced treatment that works on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors to support appetite control and metabolic health.
Some patients may benefit from tirzepatide if they are seeking additional appetite suppression or metabolic support as part of their weight loss journey.
Semaglutide medications are commonly used in physician-guided weight management programs to help support appetite regulation, portion control, and sustainable weight loss through once-weekly injections.
Wegovy® is an FDA-approved semaglutide medication indicated for chronic weight management in qualifying adults. It is designed to help support long-term weight loss by reducing appetite and helping patients feel full longer when combined with healthy lifestyle modifications.
Ozempic® is a once-weekly semaglutide injection commonly prescribed for blood sugar management in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is also recognized for helping support appetite control, portion management, and gradual weight reduction in certain individuals as part of a physician-guided wellness program.

Tirzepatide medications work on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors to help support appetite regulation, portion control, and metabolic health as part of a physician-guided weight management program.
Zepbound® is a once-weekly tirzepatide injection approved for chronic weight management in qualifying adults. It is designed to help support appetite control, feelings of fullness, and long-term weight management when combined with healthy lifestyle modifications.
Mounjaro® is a once-weekly tirzepatide injection commonly prescribed for blood sugar management in adults with type 2 diabetes. Its dual-action mechanism targeting both GLP-1 and GIP receptors may also help support appetite regulation, metabolic function, and gradual weight reduction in certain individuals.
Both semaglutide and tirzepatide are highly effective GLP-1-based medications, but they work slightly differently.
Semaglutide primarily targets GLP-1 receptors to help:
Reduce appetite: Help control hunger and decrease food intake
Improve satiety: Promote a longer-lasting feeling of fullness
Support steady, gradual weight loss: Encourage sustainable long-term progress
Tirzepatide works on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which may provide additional metabolic support for certain patients.
Some individuals may experience:
Enhanced appetite control: Reduce cravings and support healthier eating habits
Improved blood sugar support: Help maintain balanced glucose levels throughout the day
Greater overall fullness: Promote satiety and reduce unnecessary snacking
During your consultation, our providers will help determine which treatment may be most appropriate based on your goals and medical history.
GLP-1 medications may be appropriate for adults struggling with appetite control, cravings, stubborn weight gain, or difficulty achieving results through traditional dieting alone.
Some patients seek GLP-1 treatment because they:
Frequent hunger throughout the day: Ongoing appetite that makes weight management challenging
Difficulty with portion control: Challenges managing meal sizes and eating habits
Struggles with cravings: Persistent urges for unhealthy foods or snacking
Experienced weight regain: Difficulty maintaining previous weight loss results
Need additional medical support for long-term weight management: Seeking structured guidance for sustainable results
A consultation is required to determine whether treatment is appropriate based on your health history and provider evaluation.
As with any medical treatment, GLP-1 medications may cause side effects in some patients. Most side effects are mild and improve gradually as the body adjusts to treatment.
Possible side effects may include:
Nausea: Mild stomach discomfort that may occur during adjustment
Bloating: Temporary fullness or abdominal pressure
Constipation: Slower digestion that may affect bowel regularity
Fatigue: Occasional low energy during treatment adjustment
Mild digestive discomfort: Temporary gastrointestinal sensitivity
Our medical team carefully monitors treatment progress and adjusts dosing gradually to help improve comfort and minimize side effects whenever possible.
Patient safety and individualized care remain a priority throughout treatment.

I received awesome service. I had no idea of the depth of help I would receive from Dr. Kesa. He takes the time to thoroughly go through your medical history and then explains how different conditions or medications you may be taking, interact with your weight loss goals. I would certainly recommend that someone struggling to lose weight make an appointment with Dr. Kesa to understand the results you have had so far.
