Medical Weight Management
Medical Weight Management
Medical Weight Management is a custom service that combines professional guidance, tailored dietary plans, lifestyle changes, and prescription medication to help you achieve sustainable weight loss. This medically-supervised approach addresses the unique factors affecting your weight, providing you with the tools needed to reach your goals. Backed by science and overseen by healthcare professionals, Medical Weight Management is a safe, effective, and evidence-based path to lasting results that may be covered by your insurance and your HSA or FSA benefits. With ongoing monitoring and adjustments, this service is designed for long-term success and improved health outcomes.
How Medical Weight Management Works
At the core of our Medical Weight Management program are GLP-1 medications: These peptide-based treatments were initially developed for diabetes that have proven highly effective and FDA approved for weight management. GLP-1 medications work by regulating blood sugar levels, triggering insulin release, and reducing glucagon, a hormone that influences appetite, metabolism, and food digestion. The result is reduced hunger, increased feelings of fullness, and a meaningful reduction in overall body weight.
Prescription Peptide Therapy
GLP-1 medications target the gut to regulate appetite and metabolism. Administered via oral tablet (such as Wegovy or Rybelsus) or injection in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, these medications are precisely dosed and adjusted based on your individual response and goals all under the supervision of our medical team.
Personalized Nutrition & Lifestyle Planning
Medication works best when complemented by intentional lifestyle changes. Your plan will include personalized guidance on food intake, portion control, and eating habits to enhance the benefits of your medication and support long-term success.
Regular Check-Ins & Medical Monitoring
Unlike traditional dieting, our Medical Weight Management program includes consistent professional oversight. We schedule regular check-ins to monitor your progress, assess how your body is responding, and make adjustments to your medication and lifestyle plan as needed. This ongoing support keeps your journey safe, effective, and on track.
Candidates for Medical Weight Management
Medical Weight Management is designed for individuals who are ready to take a proactive, evidence-based approach to their health. It is particularly well-suited for those who have struggled to achieve lasting results through diet and exercise alone, or whose weight is affecting their overall health and quality of life.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have a BMI of 27 or higher, with at least one weight-related health condition (such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol)
- Have a BMI of 30 or higher
- Have experienced difficulty maintaining weight loss through traditional dieting methods
- Are managing conditions influenced by weight, including metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, or hormonal imbalances
- Are seeking a medically-supervised, sustainable approach to weight loss that goes beyond short-term fixes
Medical Weight Management is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and it isn’t right for everyone. During your consultation, we will review your health history, current medications, and wellness goals to determine whether this program is appropriate for you and which treatment approach best fits your needs.
