At Diamond Touch Functional Medicine, we combine nutritional guidance and lifestyle adjustments with advanced medical interventions to help you achieve your goals. A cornerstone of our program is the use of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1 RAs) such as Dulaglutide, Exenatide, Liraglutide, and Semaglutide.
