A medical approach, not a diet
Struggling with weight loss on your own is common. The program treats weight as a medical issue: evaluation first, then a plan built around your labs, history, and habits. Whether the goal is 10 pounds or 100, the structure stays the same.
What's included
- Personalized treatment plan based on health history, goals, and lifestyle
- Prescription weight loss medications when appropriate, including GLP-1 injectables and oral options
- Body composition analysis to track fat loss and muscle retention, not just pounds
- Nutritional counseling with simple, sustainable dietary guidance
- Regular check-ins to adjust the plan and keep you on track
How GLP-1 therapy works
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a naturally occurring hormone that helps regulate blood sugar, appetite, and digestion. GLP-1 receptor agonists, FDA-approved for weight loss and type 2 diabetes management, work by suppressing appetite, slowing gastric emptying, and steadying blood sugar. Common options include semaglutide and tirzepatide. In clinical studies, patients on GLP-1 therapies lost 10 to 20 percent of body weight over 6 to 12 months when combined with nutrition and movement. Individual results vary.
Who is a good candidate
GLP-1 therapy may be appropriate if you have a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with a weight-related health condition, and you are committed to a long-term plan rather than a quick fix. A consultation determines whether medication is right for you.
Side effects and expectations
GLP-1 therapy is not a magic pill. Side effects may include nausea, fatigue, or digestive upset, especially early on. The program pairs medication with nutritional guidance, physical activity, and professional medical supervision.
Benefits beyond the scale
Patients in structured programs often see better blood sugar control, reduced inflammation, improved heart health markers, and more energy and mobility.
Related care
Weight and hormones often shift together: hormone therapy. Ongoing monitoring through primary care. Confidence and skin: aesthetics.
