GLP-1 Medications

Get Started

Use HSA/FSA (Prescription provided through our clinicians)

GLP-1 medications are a powerful, clinically proven option to support weight loss and improve metabolic health—key drivers of obstructive sleep apnea. By mimicking a natural hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar, they help you feel full faster and stay satisfied longer, leading to sustained weight loss that can reduce airway obstruction during sleep.

Stimulant-free and non-habit forming, GLP-1s can play an important role in a comprehensive sleep apnea treatment plan by addressing one of its root causes.

How it works

Meet with your Sleep Reset clinician

Schedule a virtual visit with your Sleep Reset clinician and discuss your symptoms and sleep condition.

Receive your Home Sleep Apnea Test

If you're suspected of having sleep apnea, your clinician would recommend that you do a Home Sleep Test. We ship the device to your home and you wear the device for a single night while you sleep in your own bed.

Discuss your eligibility for GLP-1s with your clinician

Your Home Sleep Test results are securely reviewed by a clinician and shared with in a clear, easy-to-understand format with next steps outlined. If you’re diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and meet criteria (BMI ≥30, or ≥27 with related conditions), you may be eligible for GLP-1 medications as part of your treatment plan.

Get your recommended personalized sleep solution

Your clinician will then walk you through personalized guidance on the most effective treatment options to address obstructive sleep apnea, including therapies tailored to your specific needs.

GLP-1 Medications FAQ

Want to learn more? Reach out at help@thesleepreset.com

What are GLP-1 medications, and how do they relate to sleep apnea?

keyboard_arrow_down

GLP-1 medications (like Zepbound) are FDA-approved treatments for weight loss and metabolic health. Because excess weight is one of the biggest drivers of obstructive sleep apnea, these medications can help reduce the severity of OSA by addressing the underlying cause.

Can GLP-1 medications treat sleep apnea directly?

keyboard_arrow_down

Not directly. GLP-1s don’t open the airway like CPAP or oral appliances do. Instead, they work by helping you lose weight, which can reduce airway obstruction over time. For many people, this leads to fewer apnea events and better sleep quality.

Who is eligible for GLP-1 medications for sleep apnea?

keyboard_arrow_down

You may qualify if:
1) You have a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (confirmed by a sleep study)
2) Your BMI is ≥30, or ≥27 with related conditions (like OSA)
3) A clinician determines it’s safe and appropriate for you

Your eligibility is typically determined after reviewing your sleep test results and overall health profile.

How much weight loss is needed to improve sleep apnea?

keyboard_arrow_down

Even modest weight loss (5–10% of body weight) can significantly improve OSA severity. Greater weight loss may lead to larger reductions in apnea events—and in some cases, reduce dependence on CPAP.

Will I still need a CPAP machine if I take a GLP-1?

keyboard_arrow_down

In most cases, yes—at least initially. GLP-1 medications work over time, while CPAP provides immediate relief by keeping your airway open. As you lose weight, your clinician may reassess whether CPAP is still needed.

How do I get started with GLP-1 treatment for sleep apnea?

keyboard_arrow_down

The process typically includes:
1) Completing a home sleep apnea test (if not already diagnosed)
2) Reviewing results with a clinician
3) Evaluating your BMI and medical history
4) Receiving a prescription if appropriate

Treatment is personalized based on your sleep data and health profile.

Are GLP-1 medications safe?

keyboard_arrow_down

GLP-1s are FDA-approved and generally well-tolerated. Common side effects include nausea, reduced appetite, and mild gastrointestinal symptoms—especially when starting. Your clinician will guide dosing and monitor your response.

Will insurance cover GLP-1 medications for sleep apnea?

keyboard_arrow_down

Coverage varies. Many plans cover GLP-1s for weight loss related to Obstructive Sleep Apnea, especially if clinical criteria are met.

How long do I need to stay on GLP-1 medications?

keyboard_arrow_down

GLP-1s are typically part of a longer-term treatment plan. Stopping the medication may lead to weight regain, so your clinician will help determine the right duration based on your progress and goals.

What makes GLP-1s different from other weight loss approaches?

keyboard_arrow_down

GLP-1 medications regulate appetite and blood sugar in a clinically proven way. Unlike diets alone, they help reduce hunger and improve satiety—making sustainable weight loss more achievable, which is key for improving sleep apnea.
