Medical Weight Loss
Medically Supervised Weight Management Program
About This Program
We offer comprehensive, physician-supervised medical weight management programs using FDA-approved weight-management medications that help regulate appetite, improve blood sugar control, and enhance metabolism for long-term results. We address weight loss for those with medical conditions like diabetes or hormonal imbalances, as well as those seeking to eliminate stubborn fat. This isn't merely appetite suppression. Our approach focuses on lifestyle adjustment through healthy eating habits, appropriate exercise, proper sleep, and macro management. We distinguish our clinically supervised approach, including microdosing, monitoring, and lifestyle integration, from a single-medication, retail-style model.

Your Treatment Journey
A structured, medically supervised path to sustainable weight loss
- Step 1
Consultation & Labs
Initial consultation, comprehensive lab work (arranged via primary care or a third-party lab), and health assessment to determine the right medication for you.

Monthly Monitoring
Regular appointments to track progress, adjust dosing, and provide nutritional and exercise guidance over 4-12 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
What lab work is required?
Required labs include Comprehensive Metabolic Panel with GFR, Complete Blood Count with Differential, Hemoglobin A1C, Fasting Insulin, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Lipid Panel, TSH, Free T3, Free T4, and Reflex T3. We add hormone and inflammatory panels when clinically necessary. Labs are completed out of office through your primary care provider or a third-party lab, typically $90–$250 depending on the panel. Repeat labs at 6 months.
How do I take the medication?
Subcutaneous injection once weekly, preferably at night on an empty stomach (2+ hours after eating). We train you on proper injection technique during your appointment.
How long will I take the medication?
Most patients use peptides for 4-8 months, some for one year. We cycle patients off for 4-8 weeks to maintain receptor sensitivity. Gradual weaning begins when you're 5-10 lbs from your goal weight.
What about side effects?
Most common: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, constipation, abdominal pain, typically improving with time. Our microdosing approach minimizes these effects. Serious but rare: pancreatitis, gallbladder complications. Contraindicated for those with personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN2 syndrome.
Is this covered by insurance?
These medications are not covered by insurance for weight loss. Type 2 diabetics should consult their primary care physician regarding insurance coverage for diabetes management.
How is medication pricing determined?
We continually monitor pharmacy pricing and adjust ours as compounding pharmacies lower their prices, passing the savings on to you with a longer supply duration per vial. Pricing is subject to change based on the legality and structure of compounding pharmacies; we partner only with 503A and 503B approved compounding pharmacies.
What happens after I reach my goal weight?
Weight regain is possible without lifestyle modifications. Muscle maintenance requires minimum 3 days weekly weight resistance training, daily macro tracking, adequate hydration, and optimized sleep. We provide medical oversight during weaning to prevent receptor stress.
Who is a good candidate for this program?
Patients who commit to lifestyle adjustments, follow protocols, complete repeat labs, and align with our prevention and wellness values. We reject quick-fix mentality in favor of sustainable health transformation. We do not prescribe to "just anyone."
