What is Medical Weight Loss?

When a healthy diet and exercise hit a plateau, a medical weight loss program can provide the support needed to break through. This is a physician-supervised approach that treats weight management as a medical discipline. Unlike over-the-counter supplements, we look at your current health status and medical history to understand why your body may be holding onto excess weight.

For our program, we provide prescription weight loss medications, specifically GLP-1 agonists. These weight loss medications work by mimicking natural hormones to suppress appetite and improve how your system processes blood sugar. By resetting and regulating metabolic rate, we’ve helped many patients reach a healthy weight.

Benefits of Medical Weight Loss

A clinical weight loss program offers a level of safety and effectiveness that DIY methods cannot match. It addresses the root causes of weight gain, helping you achieve your weight loss goals and improve your overall well-being.

  • Medical Expertise: Every step is monitored by professionals to prioritize your overall health.
  • Appetite Suppression: Medications help eliminate intense cravings and "food noise."
  • Muscle Preservation: We focus on body fat reduction, ensuring you lose fat rather than lean tissue.
  • Disease Prevention: Reaching a weight goal reduces the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension.
  • Ongoing Support: You receive the accountability needed to stay on track for an extended period.

What Does Medical Weight Loss Address?

A clinical weight loss plan does more than change a number on a scale; it addresses the physiological barriers to better health.

Management of Excess Body Weight

Even with a balanced diet, certain areas of body weight can be resistant to change. Medical weight loss solutions help the system access these deep-seated stores to use them for energy, facilitating safe and effective results.

Optimizing Metabolism

Issues with insulin resistance often make it nearly impossible to lose weight through willpower alone. We optimize your metabolism to ensure your calorie intake is used efficiently by your cells rather than stored as body fat.

Hormonal and Chemical Regulation

Factors like low testosterone or thyroid issues can contribute to weight issues. Our holistic approach ensures that your health goals are supported by balanced internal chemistry.

Am I a Candidate for Medical Weight Loss?

If you are struggling with obesity or have a BMI that puts you in the overweight category, you may be an ideal candidate for medical weight loss. We perform a thorough assessment to ensure safety, as prescription weight loss may not be suitable for those with specific allergies or certain pre-existing conditions. We review your medical history during your consultation to confirm that the weight loss medications are appropriate for you.

Consultation and Preparation

Your journey begins with a deep dive into your unique health profile. During your consultation, we discuss your weight goals, previous attempts to lose weight, and any other medications you are currently taking. There is no intense physical preparation required. We simply ask that you come prepared to discuss your typical lifestyle habits honestly. We may perform blood work to get an accurate picture of your health before starting your treatment plan.

How The Medical Weight Loss Procedure is Performed

The process is straightforward and designed to fit a busy schedule. Our medical weight loss program uses GLP-1 prescription weight loss medications to target metabolic roadblocks. These medications are typically administered via a quick, once-weekly injection. This modern class of weight loss drugs focuses on the active ingredient needed to regulate hunger signals and stabilize blood sugar. The process is quick, virtually painless, and helps your body burn calories more effectively while you go about your day.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

There is zero downtime with a medical weight loss program. You can return to your normal activities immediately. While the medications start working on your metabolism immediately, sustainable weight loss is typically observed after the first month of consistent use. Results continue to improve as you reach your ideal weight. To ensure results last, we help you implement lifestyle changes. Long-term success is built on a balanced diet and regular exercise.

How Much Does Medical Weight Loss Cost?

The cost of our medical weight loss program typically ranges from $500 to $1,500. Because every plan is customized, pricing varies. The cost includes diagnostics, the therapeutic medication, and ongoing support. We offer financing to make your health goals accessible.

Medical Weight Loss

Frequently Asked Questions

These prescription medications work by signaling the brain to suppress appetite and slow the rate at which the stomach empties. This helps you feel full longer and significantly reduces "food noise," making it easier to stick to your weight loss plan without feeling deprived.

The most common side effects include mild nausea, fatigue, or slight changes in digestion as your body adjusts to the active ingredient. These are usually temporary. Our medical professionals monitor you to ensure you do not experience serious side effects and will adjust your treatment plan for your comfort.

A clinical weight loss program is most effective when combined with a regular exercise plan. While the medications address metabolic hurdles, regular exercise helps you burn calories, maintain muscle mass, and improve your overall well-being.

While many patients find success with GLP-1 injections, we look at your specific needs and medical history to determine the ideal path. Some may benefit from a weight loss pill or a customized plan that includes specific nutritional supplements to support their metabolic rate.

The duration depends on your individual weight goals and health goals. Some use the program to jumpstart a healthy lifestyle, while others utilize the support for an extended period to reach and maintain a healthy weight.
