At Gold IVy Wellness, we’re passionate about empowering women with safe, effective, and sustainable options for their health journey. One of the most exciting tools we now offer is GLP-1 peptides, a breakthrough in medical weight management that’s helping women feel more in control of their bodies, energy, and overall wellness.

What Are GLP-1 Peptides?

GLP-1 stands for glucagon-like peptide-1, a natural hormone your body already makes. Its main job is to regulate appetite and blood sugar. GLP-1 peptides work by mimicking this hormone, helping you feel fuller for longer, slowing digestion, and reducing cravings.

The result? Many women notice steady, manageable weight loss,

without the intense hunger and rollercoaster dieting that often comes with other methods.

Benefits Beyond Weight Loss

While most people are excited about the scale, GLP-1 peptides can offer benefits that go beyond weight management:

  • Appetite control – fewer cravings, especially for sugary or high-carb foods.

  • Improved blood sugar balance – helpful for women with insulin resistance, PCOS, or prediabetes.

  • Sustainable lifestyle changes – when paired with nutrition and movement, GLP-1s make it easier to stick with healthy habits.

  • Confidence boost – not only in appearance, but also in the ability to take control of your health.

GLP-1 vs. GLP-1 + GIP: What’s the Difference?

At Gold IVy, we offer two options:

  • GLP-1 peptide – the classic option, effective for appetite regulation and gradual weight loss.

  • GLP-1 + GIP dual peptide – a newer formulation that combines two hormones for even more powerful results in weight management and energy support.

During your consultation, we’ll discuss which option is the best fit for your health goals and lifestyle.

What to Expect at Gold IVy Wellness

  1. Initial Consultation – You’ll meet with me, Lexus Childs, WHNP, to review your health history, goals, and lab work.

  2. Customized Plan – Based on your needs, we’ll create a tailored dosing schedule, nutrition support, and ongoing check-ins.

  3. Ongoing Support – You’re not on this journey alone. We monitor progress, adjust as needed, and provide lifestyle tools so you feel supported every step of the way.

Is GLP-1 Right for You?

GLP-1 peptides may be a great option if you’ve struggled with:

  • Difficulty losing weight despite healthy eating and exercise

  • PCOS, perimenopause, or hormone shifts affecting metabolism

  • Cravings and emotional eating that feel hard to control

  • Wanting a medically supervised, evidence-based solution


✨ At Gold IVy Wellness, we believe weight management isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about helping women feel strong, healthy, and confident in their own skin. GLP-1s are simply one tool we use to support your unique journey.
