What is this appointment?

Who Is a Candidate for Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss is generally appropriate for adults with a BMI of 27 or higher, or those with weight-related health conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or PCOS.

It’s also a good option if you’ve tried diet and exercise on their own without the results you were hoping for and want additional medical support.

What's Included in Medical Weight Loss?

  • Comprehensive Health Assessment – Lab work, body composition analysis, and a full review of your health history to build a personalized plan.
  • GLP-1 Medication Management – FDA-approved medications, such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, that regulate appetite, blood sugar, and metabolism.
  • Metabolic Optimization – Evaluation and treatment of underlying issues like thyroid dysfunction or insulin resistance.
  • Nutrition and Lifestyle Coaching – Guidance on sustainable dietary changes and behavioral strategies for long-term success.

How Medical Weight Loss Can Help

Sustainable weight loss is about more than willpower. It requires the right medical support, tools, and an individualized strategy built around your body.

GLP-1 medications and other tools can help regulate appetite and metabolism, making it easier to stick with the nutrition and lifestyle changes that drive lasting results.

With ongoing monitoring, your plan is adjusted along the way, so you have consistent support rather than a one-time prescription and no follow-up.
