How compounded semaglutide works

Compounded semaglutide is designed to activate the same natural pathways as the GLP-1 hormone, and may help  you feel full for longer, slow digestion, and support balanced blood sugar.

How compounded tirzepatide works

Compounded tirzepatide activates two natural hormone pathways, GLP-1 and GIP, that work together to support appetite control and metabolic health. Some individuals may experience earlier or more noticeable results due to the dual mechanism.

Joining

What is the process to start losing weight through Shed?

You will be prompted to fill out an intake form which will provide your healthcare provider with information about your medical history. Based on this information, a healthcare provider will determine the most suitable treatment option for you. Depending on the state you live in, your consultation may be conducted asynchronously. This means your provider can determine your eligibility without a video visit. In some states, a video visit with a healthcare provider is required. If you reside in one of these states, you will be prompted to schedule a video consult after submitting your intake form. Then, you’ll get paired up with the proper weight-loss medication you and a licensed healthcare provider feel good about which you’ll commit to for two months. From there, your medication will arrive on your doorstep typically within 5-10 business days.
