At Sleep & Wellness Medical Associates, we are always committed to bringing our patients the most advanced, evidence-based therapies to support long-term health, weight management, and overall well-being.

We are excited to share a major breakthrough in metabolic medicine — a newly FDA-approved medication called Foundayo™ (orforglipron).

What Is Foundayo™?

Foundayo™ is a once-daily oral medication that belongs to the same powerful class of medications as GLP-1 therapies (such as semaglutide and tirzepatide), but with one major difference:

👉 It is a pill — not an injection.

This makes it the first truly convenient, easy-to-use oral GLP-1 therapy without the strict fasting requirements seen in earlier medications.

Why This Is Such a Big Deal

Until now, the most effective medications for weight loss and metabolic health have required weekly injections.

Foundayo™ changes that.

• ✅ No injections
• ✅ No refrigeration required
• ✅ No strict timing around meals
• ✅ Simple, once-daily dosing

This innovation has the potential to make effective weight loss treatment accessible to many more patients.

How Does It Work?

Foundayo™ works by activating GLP-1 receptors in the body, which:

• Reduces appetite and cravings
• Helps you feel full faster
• Slows gastric emptying
• Improves blood sugar control
• Supports insulin function

The result is sustainable weight loss and improved metabolic health.

What Kind of Results Can You Expect?

Clinical studies have shown:

• 🔹 12–15% average body weight loss
• 🔹 Significant reduction in blood sugar levels
• 🔹 Improved metabolic markers

While slightly less potent than injectable options like tirzepatide, it offers a powerful balance of effectiveness and convenience.

Who Is This Ideal For?

Foundayo™ may be a great option for:

• Patients who prefer to avoid injections
• Individuals just starting their weight loss journey
• Patients looking for a maintenance option after weight loss
• Busy professionals seeking a simple, consistent routine
• Those with prediabetes, insulin resistance, or metabolic syndrome

Safety & Considerations

As with all medications in this class, some patients may experience:

• Nausea or gastrointestinal discomfort
• Reduced appetite (expected effect)

It may not be appropriate for patients with certain thyroid conditions, including a history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2 syndrome.

At our practice, we carefully evaluate each patient to ensure safe, personalized treatment plans.

How This Fits Into Our Programs

Foundayo™ allows us to expand our offerings by:

Our Approach: Not Just a Medication

• Ongoing medical supervision

This is what sets our program apart.
