Medical Weight Loss & Weight Management: Guidance and Custom Programs
Integrative Weight Loss
Our comprehensive program is designed for long-term, sustainable weight loss and to create the body you want and the body you deserve. We pride ourselves in safe, effective weight loss using dietary programs, laboratory testing, psychotherapy, physical activity suggestions, supplementation and medication, if desired. We only use GLP-1's like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, and not aggressive appetite suppressants.
Weight Management
We take an integrative approach to weight loss and no stone goes unturned. We check underlying clinical imbalances such as thyroid dysfunction, gut dysbiosis, inflammation, blood sugar, chemical toxicity and mitochondrial function. It really is a unique, results-focused approach that leads to long-term sustainable weight loss. We also incorporate strategies about caloric restriction, time restricted eating, fasting protocols, psychotherapy and macronutrient ratios that may optimize weight loss further.
Medical Weight Loss
Semaglutide:
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in the brand name medication called Wegovy, an FDA approved once weekly injectable medication for weight loss. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to obtain. Because it was just approved by the FDA in the summer of 2021, it is still very expensive (approx $950.45 per month with GoodRX), you may not be able to get your insurance company to cover it, or have struggled with back ordered product.
However, Semaglutide can be compounded by a specialized pharmacy at self pay pricing and shipped directly to your door.
Semaglutide works by increasing Leptin, a satiety hormone, that helps us feel full and stay full longer. It mimics a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) that targets areas of the brain to decrease appetite. It also regulates insulin and blood sugar imbalance, which is a common root cause of weight gain and difficulty losing weight.
Tirzepatide:
Tirzepatide is the active ingredient in the brand name medication called Mounjaro. Mounjaro, like Wegovy, is another once weekly injectable GLP-1 that has proven extremely effective for weight loss.
Mounjaro can be very expensive (approximately 1K out of pocket cost per month) and you may not be able to get your insurance company to cover it, or have struggled with back ordered product.
However, like Semaglutide, Tirzepatide can be compounded by a specialized pharmacy and shipped to your door.
Tirzepatide is in the same class of medications as Semaglutide, and works by by increasing Leptin, a satiety hormone, that helps us feel full and stay full longer. It mimics a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) that targets areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. It also regulates insulin and blood sugar imbalance, which is a common cause of difficulty in losing weight.
Program Design:
Patient guidance and compliance are important factors when it comes to sustainable weight loss. We make every effort to "hold your hand" during the process and ensure that your weight loss program is safe, efficient and effective from the initial visit. Recipes, dietary guidelines, supplements and/or medication will be outlined so you can understand and embrace the best outcome possible.
