GLP-1 Weight Loss on Maui, Supervised by an Obesity Medicine Physician
Conveniently located to serve Maui.
GLP-1 medications — semaglutide and tirzepatide — are prescribed and supervised at Awazul Wellness in Wailea by Dr. G, a physician double board-certified in OB/GYN and obesity medicine, as part of a complete body-composition program rather than a prescription alone. Every program begins with a Body Consult and InBody scan, because the goal is not simply a smaller number on the scale — it’s losing fat while protecting the muscle that keeps your metabolism, strength, and results durable.
What are GLP-1 medications, and how do they work?
GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic a hormone your body already makes — one that regulates appetite, slows stomach emptying, and improves how your body handles blood sugar. The practical effect most patients describe is quiet: the constant negotiation with food simply gets easier. Semaglutide acts on the GLP-1 pathway; tirzepatide acts on two pathways (GLP-1 and GIP). Which one fits — and whether either fits at all — is a medical decision based on your history, labs, and goals. Individual results vary.
Why does physician supervision matter for GLP-1 weight loss?
Because the medication is the easy part. Dosed without oversight, GLP-1s can take muscle along with fat — and on Maui you can now get a GLP-1 prescription from an app, a kiosk, or a walk-in clinic. What you can’t get from any of those is what determines whether the weight you lose stays lost: obesity-medicine training, body-composition tracking at every stage, nutrition built around protein adequacy, side-effect management by a physician who knows your chart, and a plan for the day you stop the medication. Dr. G is the only physician on Maui board-certified in obesity medicine leading a med spa weight-loss program — this is her specialty, not a menu item.
What is actually in an Awazul weight-loss program?
Every program pairs the medical lever with the lifestyle lever. The medical side: physician evaluation, labs, prescription management, and monthly check-ins. The body-composition side: InBody scans at regular intervals so we watch fat mass and muscle mass separately, individualized supplement guidance, and — where it fits your plan — truFlex muscle stimulation to actively protect and build muscle while the scale moves. Programs are structured and transparent: Essentials ($2,400), Transformation ($4,900), and Sustain ($345/month) for maintenance. We publish our pricing because we think you should be able to compare before you ever walk in.
How is this different from a$175-a-month medication program?
Medication-only programs exist on Maui and online, and for some people they’re a reasonable start. What you’re comparing is scope: a prescription plus a weekly weigh-in versus a physician-designed body-composition transformation — muscle protected, nutrition addressed, hormones considered (midlife weight change rarely travels alone), and an exit strategy included. Neither is wrong. They are simply different purchases, and we’d rather you choose with clear eyes.
Are your GLP-1 medications compounded or brand-name?
We prescribe what is clinically appropriate and legally sourced — and we’ll always tell you exactly which you’re getting. Where compounded medications are used, they come only from licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies (503A) or FDA-registered outsourcing facilities (503B), with certificates of analysis and third-party testing. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, and FDA policy on compounded GLP-1s has tightened since the branded shortage ended in 2025 — we follow that landscape closely, and our sourcing standards are part of every consultation conversation. If a product can’t meet them, we don’t prescribe it.
Already on a GLP-1 from a telehealth service?
Bring your current plan to a Body Consult. In 15 minutes, an InBody scan will show you what your program so far has actually changed — fat, muscle, and water, separately — and Dr. G can tell you what an obesity-medicine physician would keep, change, or watch. Many patients transfer care to us mid-journey; the scan is where that conversation starts.

Frequently Asked Questions About GLP-1 Weight Loss
Do I qualify for GLP-1 weight loss medication?
:
;
Eligibility is a medical determination made during your evaluation, based on your BMI, health history, labs, and goals. The Body Consult is where that assessment begins — there is no obligation to start a program.
Will I lose muscle on a GLP-1?
:
;
Rapid weight loss from any cause can include muscle loss, which is why Awazul programs track body composition with InBody scans and build in protein targets and, where appropriate, truFlex muscle stimulation. Protecting muscle is the difference between weight loss and body transformation. Individual results vary.
What happens when I stop the medication?
:
;
Appetite typically returns, which is why every Awazul program includes a maintenance plan — the Sustain tier exists precisely for this phase. Patients who protect muscle and build habits during the loss phase keep results at meaningfully higher rates.
Do you accept patients visiting Maui?
:
;
Weight-loss programs require ongoing supervision, so they're designed for Maui residents or frequent visitors. If you're visiting, a Body Consult and InBody scan can still give you a clear picture to take home.
How fast will I see results?
:
;
Most patients notice appetite changes within the first weeks and measurable body-composition change over the first two to three months. Speed varies with medication, dose, and the person — we set expectations honestly at your consult, and individual results vary.
