How Patients Are Boosting Their GLP-1 Results With Smart Add-Ons

The first shot feels almost too easy. One small injection, and suddenly the scale starts moving. Hunger that once felt endless quiets down. For the first time in years, food isn’t running your life. (Hallelujah!)

Jose B., for one, didn’t expect the ripple effect that followed: “The GLP-1 and the NAD+B12 changed my life! I feel great, I look great — and all the good things started to come along after starting these products.”

And that’s what many patients describe in those first weeks: pants fitting looser, brain fog lifting, even the nagging aches that used to make simple movements uncomfortable starting to ease. As Bessie Batte put it, “Certain body positions are no longer hurting, my insides are not feeling anxious. I’m very pleased with this product. I’m very pleased with how easy the whole process is.”

For many, GLP-1 has opened a door that once felt closed. But once that momentum begins, patients often want more than weight loss alone. They want the energy to get through long days, the focus to stay sharp, and the strength to keep results steady. 

That’s where supportive therapies from IVYrx come in — treatments designed to build on GLP-1’s success by helping to support energy, preserve muscle, and potentially make progress  more sustainable.

The biology behind better results

GLP-1 does a lot on its own — controlling appetite, regulating blood sugar, and making weight loss feel possible again. But inside the body, there’s more happening than just eating less. Energy levels shift, recovery patterns change, and metabolism adapts. That’s why many patients are layering in supportive therapies — not to replace GLP-1, but to help the body feel stronger as the pounds come off.

NAD+ for energy and clarity

Estelle Robinson put her wins in everyday terms: “I used to suffer from horrible fatigue… now I feel less sluggish, my brain fog has cleared, and my fatigue is better.”

What she’s describing matches what researchers have found for decades. 

NAD⁺ is a molecule that powers your mitochondria — the energy factories inside every cell. It also supports DNA repair and helps your body manage oxidative stress.

The challenge? NAD⁺ levels fall steadily as we age. Research shows that by your 40s or 50s, you may have only about half the NAD⁺ you did in your 20s — a decline linked to fatigue, slower recovery, and the foggy thinking many patients describe (Conlon, 2021; Peluso, 2021).

That’s why replenishing NAD⁺ matters. By restoring those levels through injections or sprays, you often notice steadier energy, sharper focus, and even better sleep quality.

Sermorelin for strength and recovery

Weight loss can sometimes mean muscle loss — and losing muscle makes it harder to keep weight off long-term. That’s where Sermorelin comes in. It encourages your pituitary gland to release more of your own growth hormone, which can help support lean muscle, deeper sleep, and faster recovery. 

As Dr. Thomas Paluska and Courtney Williams, NP of HydraMed’s clinical team explain, Sermorelin “offers a range of benefits, from muscle growth and weight loss support to improved sleep and anti-aging effects, all by harnessing the body’s own natural mechanisms.”

Patients using Sermorelin often report that they feel stronger and more rested. 

One Reddit user said, “I took it mostly to sleep better and recover from training… after some time, I felt rested better and recovered better. The experience with IVYrx was safe and easy.”

For GLP-1 patients, this can mean not just losing weight, but keeping muscle intact — which helps metabolism stay steady as the number on the scale goes down.

GLP-1 Boost for extra support

Even with weekly GLP-1 injections, cravings can sneak back. Stressful days, late-night hunger, or plateaus can test anyone’s willpower. IVYrx created GLP-1 Boost as a way to help patients stay in control between doses.

It combines NMN (a building block for NAD+), berberine (studied for blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity), beetroot (circulation and energy), and hops extract (anti-inflammatory support). 

Together, these compounds are intended to add a subtle but meaningful layer of support that may result in less snacking, steadier energy, and an easier time staying consistent. [3]

How treatments complement each other

For Debi Gaffney, the combination of GLP-1 and Metformin was nothing short of transformative. “I have lost 62 pounds in six months! I could’ve never done this without my Tirzepatide and Metformin. This company has changed my life both mentally and physically. I am able to do exercise classes, walk, work, and enjoy my family and dog more than I have in the past 10 years!”

Her story highlights what many patients find: GLP-1 can be the breakthrough, but pairing it with other therapies helps carry the progress into everyday life.

Restoring energy with NAD+

For some, that means restoring energy. Channel Sanders called NAD+ “a game change,” noting how quick delivery and responsive support made it easy to add into her routine

That energy boost meant she could do more than lose weight — she could get back to feeling present and productive.

Making treatments practical and affordable

Others focus on practicality and affordability. Kimberly Jackson explained how IVYrx’s compounded medications worked just as effectively as branded options, without the crushing price tag. “This service is wonderful. The compounded meds work just as well as my more expensive Mounjaro at a fraction of the price. Check-ins with Ivy’s providers are easy and efficient, and my medications are delivered quickly and securely.”

Different patients, different paths — but the theme is the same. Whether it’s GLP-1 paired with Metformin, NAD+ layered in for energy, or compounded options making care affordable, these therapies don’t compete with one another. They complement each other, giving patients more control, more stability, and more reasons to believe the progress they’ve made can last.

Real patients, real confidence

For anyone new to injectables, the first question is often the simplest: “Will I know what to do when the package arrives?” Rick G remembers having the same hesitation. “I had never used an injectable before so I had questions and concerns that were all answered clearly and honestly. I’m glad I ordered from IVYrx, I highly recommend their service.”

Support every step of the process

Alia shared a similar story, describing how straightforward the process felt from start to finish. “The doctor provided good information on dosage and safety. I was notified as the medication made its way to me and when it was delivered to my address. The medication arrived with plenty of needles and alcohol swabs and the price was reasonable.”

Transformations worth sharing

And for some, the proof comes on camera. In a YouTube testimonial, Sierra explained how GLP-1 transformed her life: “I have lost almost 100 lbs … it has completely changed my entire life. My only regret was that I didn’t do it sooner.”

Confidence in care that lasts

For others, it’s not just about safety or logistics — it’s about whether the service makes the journey feel doable. As J Di explained, “IvyRX has been a game-changer for me. Their online service makes it incredibly convenient — I can benefit from NAD+ therapy from the comfort of my own home. The treatment has significantly improved my energy levels, mental clarity, and overall well-being. I truly feel like a better version of myself.”

Together, these voices paint a picture of what patients consistently report: professional guidance, clear instructions, discreet delivery, and therapies that feel both safe and sustainable.

Facing fears, finding answers

If you’ve ever thought about trying a therapy like GLP-1, you’ve probably had the same doubts that come up for almost everyone. What if it’s too expensive? What if the process feels risky? What if I sign up and regret it?

Worries about cost

For Juliene Harrod, cost was the first wall she hit. She’d seen headlines about pricey injections and wasn’t sure if she could keep up with them. But the reality turned out different. “Always answers my questions promptly. Received medication on time and intact. Can’t beat the price. I’m on maintenance and it’s working great!”

For her, the biggest fear — whether she could actually afford to stick with it — became the first relief.

Questions of value

Jimmy Joe (we just love that name!) tells a similar story. He had shopped around, skeptical of online providers, but was surprised by how fair it felt. “Very reasonable pricing compared to others. Great team. Online chat works great…”

What began as a doubt about money ended as confidence that he was getting both value and results.

Then there’s trust. Even if the price is right, can you count on the service? Will someone be there to answer the basic questions that inevitably come up? 

Needing real support

That was on Marriane North’s mind — until she realized support was built into the process. “Love working with IVYrx. They have a fabulous customer service department and you can pretty much get ahold of someone at all times of the day..”

For her, it wasn’t just about medication arriving on time; it was about not feeling alone in the journey.

Wanting flexibility

And finally, convenience. The idea of juggling doctor visits, refill schedules, and payments can make even the most determined person hesitate. Janae Lindberg thought about that too — but the flexibility surprised her. “They have options to buy quarterly plans which works great for me… I can easily turn on and off automatic payments and change my credit card.”

Instead of stress, she found control.

These stories remind us that doubts don’t vanish on their own. They disappear when real patients live through them and come out the other side — relieved, reassured, and in many cases, grateful they didn’t let those first worries hold them back.

FAQs patients actually ask

Is it safe to use injectables at home?

‍
Yes. The injections are administered using a very fine, short needle under the skin (subcutaneous). IVYrx provides clear instructions, and every package comes with the supplies you need — syringes, alcohol swabs, and guidance on safe self-administration. Most people find the first injection feels daunting, but once they’ve done it, it quickly becomes routine.

How long does delivery take?

‍
Medications are shipped discreetly and securely, usually arriving within just a few business days. You’ll also receive tracking updates so you know exactly when to expect your treatment.

What about side effects?

‍
With GLP-1s and other therapies, mild side effects such as nausea, appetite changes, or temporary injection-site irritation are possible. These are often short-lived as your body adjusts. IVYrx providers monitor your progress and help with any concerns along the way.

Is it affordable compared to going through insurance?

‍
Many patients who have been denied coverage or faced high copays find IVYrx’s compounded medications a more sustainable option. Quarterly plans and flexible billing make it easier to manage costs and stay consistent with treatment.

Do I need to see a doctor in person first?

‍
No. Licensed providers review your medical history through an online consultation, answer questions, and prescribe if appropriate. The process is designed to feel professional and accessible without the need for in-person visits.

Ready to take the next step?

Behind every treatment is the same goal: to help people not only lose weight, but to feel sharper, more energetic, and more in control of their health. Cyndi Levine described her experience this way: “I have more energy especially during that typical late afternoon slump. Brain fog seems to be slowly lifting, less desire for snacking on junk food, and I have lost a little weight.”

That’s the difference with IVYrx. GLP-1 medications lay the foundation, but supportive options like NAD+ (injections and nasal spray) for energy, Sermorelin for muscle and sleep, and GLP-1 Boost for cravings are there to keep progress steady. Together, they form a treatment plan designed to address the whole picture—not just the scale.

If you’ve been considering GLP-1 or wondering how to make results last, now is the time to explore your options.
