How It Works — Your Simple 4-Step Plan




1: Schedule Your Consultation & Complete Lab Work
2: Meet With Our Medical Team
3: Begin Your Weekly or Monthly
Treatment Plan
4: Watch Your Results Build Week After Week
We start with a comprehensive health evaluation and required labs to ensure the program is safe and tailored
for you.
During your visit, we review your labs, discuss your lifestyle and goals, and customize a treatment plan using Semaglutide or Tirzepatide.
You’ll receive your injections (self-administered or in-office), personalized nutrition guidance, hydration support, and weekly check-ins with our team.
Most guests lose 1–3 pounds per week with steady improvements in energy, appetite control, and overall confidence.
*Before beginning your weight loss journey at Folawns Medical Spa and Salon, we require current lab work to ensure a personalized and effective plan tailored to your needs. Please complete the following tests at your nearest LabCorp or Quest Diagnostics:
-
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
-
Hemoglobin A1C (A1C)
-
(Optional but Recommended) Thyroid Function Panel and Complete Blood Count (CBC)
Once you have your lab results, email them directly to our Nurse Practitioner, Candis, at info@folawns.com. After reviewing
your results, you can schedule a consultation with any of our nurses to discuss your weight loss program. Following clearance from our NP, you can purchase your first month’s weight loss shot.
To begin the program, you’ll need to pay the monthly fee and commit to monthly check-ins.

FAQs

“Is this safe?”
Yes. We require lab work before starting, and your plan is supervised by licensed medical professionals. You’ll have ongoing monitoring, dose adjustments, and check-ins to keep you safe and supported throughout your journey.

No extreme dieting here. We focus on simple, sustainable habits: more protein, hydrating well, balanced meals, colorful veggies, and realistic lifestyle tweaks that support long-term success.

Post Treatment Directions From Our Nurse Practitioner
These guidelines help you stay comfortable, avoid side effects, and get the best possible results
during your weight loss journey.
Hydration
Drink 60–80 ounces of water daily to prevent adverse side effects.
(Any water you drink during workouts does not count—your body is only replacing what you’ve lost.)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Nutrition & Protein Intake
Focus your meals around protein, vegetables, and fruit.
Most guests feel best when they prioritize protein.
Recommended protein intake:
2 grams per kilogram of body weight
How to calculate:
-
Divide your weight in pounds by 2.2
-
Multiply that number by 2
Example:
140 lbs ÷ 2.2 = 63.6 kg
63.6 × 2 = 127.3 grams of protein per day

Foods to Avoid While Taking GLP-1 Medications
To reduce side effects and support steady progress, avoid:
-
White flour
-
White rice
-
White sugar
-
White potatoes
-
Greasy or fatty foods
Your clinician will help you choose safe, comfortable food options based on your body’s needs.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Managing Heartburn or Acid Reflux
If heartburn occurs, an over-the-counter medication may help.
Also avoid eating after 7:30 PM, which can reduce symptoms.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Portion Control & Exercise
-
Use a salad plate to help control portions.
-
Aim for 30 minutes of movement, 5 days a week.
Cardio, walking, or weight-bearing exercises are all great options.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Energy Levels
It’s normal to feel more tired when you first begin the medication.
This improves as your body adjusts to:
-
Eating differently
-
Smaller portions
-
More movement
-
Better hydration
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Remember to Eat Regularly
Even if your appetite decreases, your body still needs fuel.
Eat every few hours and carry a protein-rich snack to keep your energy steady.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Healthy Weight Loss Pace
To avoid side effects and feel your best, we recommend losing 1–3 pounds per week.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Supplements & Water Intake
Magnesium, probiotics, and adequate water intake can help prevent constipation.
Ask your clinician which supplements are right for you.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Medication Onset
The medication may take 1–3 days before you feel the effects — this is completely normal.
