Sleep and Metabolic Program
Address the root causes of poor sleep, fatigue, and weight gain with a medically supervised program, integrated into sleep care. This structured program uses metabolic therapy to help reduce the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), with objective sleep testing before and after treatment.

A Modern Approach to Medical Weight Loss and Metabolic Support
A Modern Approach to Medical Weight Loss and Metabolic Support
Our program may include once-weekly GLP-1/GIP medications, to support weight management and improve outcomes for individuals living with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
For many individuals, excess weight and metabolic imbalance can contribute to airway collapse during sleep, making obstructive sleep apnea more difficult to manage. Even modest, sustainable weight reduction may help improve:
-
Sleep quality
-
Daytime energy
-
Snoring and breathing interruptions during sleep
-
Overall metabolic health
At Resolve Sleep Health, medication is never used in isolation. Our program combines:
-
Nurse Practitioner-led medical care
-
Registered Dietitian support
-
Sleep assessment and testing
-
Ongoing monitoring and treatment adjustments
This integrated approach is designed to support long-term success — not just short-term weight loss.
Learn how obstructive sleep apnea and metabolic health are connected.
Who This Program Is For
How Obstructive Sleep Apnea & Metabolic Health Are Connected
For some people, weight and metabolic health can contribute to upper airway partial or full collapse during sleep. Excess weight and metabolic imbalance can increase pressure on the upper airway, making obstructive sleep apnea harder to manage – even with treatment.
GLP-1 medications may help by:
-
Supporting better energy and sleep quality over time
-
Supporting gradual, sustainable weight reduction
-
Improving appetite regulation and cravings
Important to know:
GLP-1 therapy is not a replacement for CPAP, but may help:
-
Reduce symptom severity
-
Improve CPAP comfort or tolerance
-
Support long-term sleep health
How the Sleep & Metabolic Program Works at Resolve Sleep
Sleep & Medical Review
Meet virtually with a Nurse Practitioner to review:
- Your sleep history and prior sleep studies (or arrange testing if you haven’t had one)
- Medical background and symptoms
- CPAP tolerance or challenges
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your results, your plan may include:
- CPAP optimization
- Oral appliance or positional therapy referrals
- GLP-1 medication if clinically appropriate
Medically Supervised GLP‑1 Therapy
If prescribed, treatment starts at a low dose and adjusted gradually based on:
- Tolerability
- Energy and daytime alertness
- Sleep quality
Objective Follow-Up
Repeat sleep testing may be used to assess:
- AHI changes
- Oxygen levels
- Symptom improvement
What’s Included in the Program
6‑Month Structured Care Includes:
-
Medical care and ongoing support from a Nurse Practitioner
-
Personalized nutrition coaching with a Registered Dietitian
-
GLP-1 medication assessment, prescribing, and monitoring (if appropriate)
-
Obstructive sleep apnea screening and home sleep testing when indicated
-
Structured follow-ups, medication titration, and progress tracking
-
Support for appetite regulation, cravings, energy, and sleep quality
-
Long-term strategies focused on sustainable results — not quick fixes
Safety & Medical Oversight
-
This program is supervised by a licensed Nurse Practitioner and dietitian and follows evidence-based guidelines for the management of obstructive sleep apnea and obesity-related risk factors.
-
Patients with severe cardiopulmonary conditions or central sleep apnea should follow up with their primary care provider and/or be referred to a specialist.
If medication is recommended, prescription costs are billed separately from the program and may be partially or fully covered through your extended health benefits.
We don’t just prescribe medication — we provide structured medical, nutrition, and sleep support designed for long-term success.
Why Sleep Matters in Weight Loss
Poor sleep and untreated obstructive sleep apnea can:
- increase cravings
- worsen fatigue
- affect metabolism
- make weight loss harder
Our program addresses both sleep and metabolic health together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is GLP‑1 a replacement for CPAP?
No. CPAP remains first‑line treatment for moderate to severe OSA. GLP‑1 therapy is used as an adjunctive treatment to improve outcomes and tolerance, not eliminate evidence-based therapy without reassessment.
I already had a sleep study. Do I need another?
If you’ve completed a Home Sleep Apnea Test or an in-lab study (Level 1), we accept those results. A repeat home sleep apnea test is only performed later to measure progress.
What GLP‑1 medications are used?
The only GLP-1 treatment approved for weight management in those with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea is Tirzepatide (Zepbound).
Is this covered by insurance?
The program itself is private-pay. Medication coverage depends on your insurance plan. It is recommended you contact your insurer or review the drug coverage in your plan through your insurer’s online portal (if applicable).
How much weight will I lose?
Weight loss varies. Our goal is improvement in sleep apnea severity and metabolic health, not rapid or extreme weight reduction.
