For many people, losing weight isn’t as simple as diet and exercise alone. Biological factors such as appetite regulation, metabolism, and insulin resistance often make it difficult to achieve lasting results. At MCNYC – The Medical Clinic New York City, we offer GLP-1 medications, a physician-guided option that supports sustainable weight management and improved metabolic health.
Led by Dr. Nicolas Batty, MD, FACP, FASCP, our practice takes a comprehensive approach to health and aesthetics. With over 25 years of medical experience in internal medicine, oncology, and aesthetic medicine, Dr. Batty provides individualized care designed to enhance both your well-being and confidence.
What Are GLP-1 Medications?
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) medications are a class of therapies originally developed to help manage type 2 diabetes. These medications mimic a natural hormone that helps regulate blood sugar, appetite, and digestion. In recent years, GLP-1s have also been shown to be highly effective for weight management, making them a valuable tool for patients struggling with obesity or difficulty maintaining weight loss.
By working with your body’s natural processes, GLP-1 medications can:
Reduce appetite and promote feelings of fullness.
Slow digestion to help regulate calorie intake.
Support healthier blood sugar levels.
Aid in steady, sustainable weight loss.
At MCNYC, GLP-1 medications are always prescribed and monitored by a physician, ensuring safe and effective use as part of a personalized treatment plan.
Benefits of GLP-1 Therapy
Patients at MCNYC choose GLP-1 medications for several reasons:
Clinically proven results in weight management and metabolic health.
Physician oversight to ensure safety and personalized dosing.
Non-surgical option for patients seeking alternatives to baritric procedures.
A sustainable approach that promotes lifestyle changes for long-term success.
Holistic care that can also enhance energy, confidence, and overall well-being.
For many patients, GLP-1 therapy is most effective when combined with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and supportive health strategies—an approach we emphasize at MCNYC.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your journey with GLP-1 medications begins with a private consultation at our office in New York City. During this visit, Dr. Batty will review your health history, discuss your goals, and determine whether GLP-1 therapy is appropriate for you.
If prescribed, your treatment plan will be carefully monitored with regular follow-up appointments. This ensures that your dosage is tailored to your needs and that your progress is closely tracked. Most patients notice reduced appetite and steady weight changes within the first few weeks, with continued improvements over time.
Because these medications are physician-prescribed, you’ll have ongoing medical oversight to maximize results and maintain safety throughout the process.

At MCNYC, GLP-1 therapy isn’t offered as a stand-alone prescription—it’s part of a physician-directed program designed to improve overall health.
