What is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical Weight Loss is an approach to weight management overseen by a certified healthcare professional. It is not a fad diet; it is a clinical program that addresses the underlying medical, hormonal, and behavioral factors contributing to weight gain. Our program includes comprehensive health assessments, customized nutritional guidance, physical activity planning, and, when appropriate, the use of FDA-approved prescription weight loss medications to help control appetite and metabolic function.

Addressing Key Health Concerns

Our physician-supervised program is specifically designed to manage and mitigate the risks associated with weight-related conditions, including:

• Diabetes: Achieve better blood sugar control and reduce insulin resistance.
• High Cholesterol: Improve lipid profiles and reduce cardiovascular risk.
• PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome): Address weight gain, insulin resistance, and hormonal imbalances.
• Fatty Liver (NAFLD): Work toward reducing liver fat and improving liver enzyme levels.
• Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Alleviate symptoms by targeting weight-related factors.

Comprehensive Medical Weight Loss Services We Offer

Our structured program is tailored to your individual metabolic profile and weight loss goals:

1. Initial Comprehensive Assessment

• Metabolic Health Review: Detailed physical exam and lab work (including thyroid panel, lipid panel, and glucose/A1C) to identify hormonal or metabolic barriers.
• Body Composition Analysis: Tracking weight, BMI, and changes in fat mass and lean muscle mass.
• Nutritional and Lifestyle History: Assessment of current eating patterns, physical activity, sleep, and stress levels.

2. Personalized Treatment Pillars

• Nutritional Guidance: Customized meal planning and dietary education focusing on balanced macronutrients and caloric goals.
• Prescription Medication Management: If indicated, safe initiation, monitoring, and adjustment of FDA-approved weight loss medications.
• Physical Activity Planning: Developing a safe and practical exercise regimen based on your current abilities and health status.

3. GLP-1 Medication & Mandatory Medical Monitoring

We offer prescription support using GLP-1 medications, a class of drugs that help regulate appetite and insulin secretion.

• Cost: Medication supply starts from $250 for a two-month supply of the GLP-1 drug.
• Medical Monitoring: We provide and strongly encourage medical monitoring while you are on GLP-1 therapy. Close medical supervision is essential to ensure the medication is working safely, to manage potential side effects, and to optimize the dosage for the best health outcomes. This monitoring is critical for safe and effective long-term treatment.

The Medical Weight Loss Process: Structured for Success

Our process ensures a supportive, clinically sound path to reaching your goals:

1. Consultation & Lab Work: Schedule an initial appointment for a full medical evaluation and necessary blood tests.
2. Customized Plan Creation: Based on your results, we create a specific program outlining nutritional targets, activity goals, and medication options.
3. Active Weight Loss Phase: Regular visits to monitor weight, vital signs, blood work, adjust medications, and provide coaching. This ongoing medical monitoring is key to success while on GLP-1 therapy.
4. Maintenance Phase: Once your goal is reached, we transition to less frequent visits focused on long-term behavior retention and relapse prevention.
