Your journey begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation by one of our board-certified physicians. We'll review your complete health history, current medications, past weight loss attempts, and specific goals. Lab work helps us understand your metabolism, hormones, and any underlying health factors contributing to weight gain. Based on these findings, your doctor designs a personalized treatment protocol that might include prescription medications, nutrition adjustments, fitness recommendations, and possible aesthetic treatments. You'll have regular follow-up appointments, typically every two weeks initially, to monitor progress, adjust medications as needed, and address any concerns. Our nutritionist provides detailed meal planning and coaching. As you progress, your doctor may introduce aesthetic treatments to enhance your transformation.

We track multiple metrics beyond just weight, including energy, metabolism markers, and overall health improvements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are GLP-1 medications safe for weight loss?

Yes, GLP-1 medications like semaglutide are FDA-approved and clinically proven safe for weight loss. They've been used for diabetes for years. Your physician carefully evaluates your health before prescribing and monitors you throughout treatment. Side effects are usually mild and manageable.

Will insurance cover my weight loss treatment?

Many insurance plans do cover medical weight loss consultations and medications when deemed medically necessary. We verify your coverage before starting treatment. Even if insurance doesn't cover everything, our pricing is competitive and we offer payment plans.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Results vary based on your starting point, medication type, and commitment to nutrition and fitness. Most clients lose 1-2 pounds weekly, with many achieving 20-40+ pound losses within 6 months. Your physician will give you realistic expectations based on your specific situation.

What happens when I stop the medication?

This is an important conversation with your doctor. Some clients stay on maintenance doses long-term to prevent rebound weight gain. Others transition to maintenance without medication if they've established strong lifestyle habits. Your physician will create a plan for sustainable results after your active weight loss phase.

Do I have to exercise while on medication?

Exercise isn't required but strongly recommended. Medications help suppress appetite and improve metabolism, but combined with even modest activity, results are significantly better. Your doctor can recommend realistic fitness activities based on your current fitness level.

What side effects should I expect?

Most people tolerate medications very well. Common mild effects include decreased appetite, occasional nausea early in treatment, and constipation. These usually resolve within days. Serious side effects are rare and your doctor monitors for them. Report any concerning symptoms immediately.

How often will I see the physician?

Initially you'll have appointments every two weeks for monitoring and adjustments. As you stabilize, visits may space out to monthly. Each appointment includes progress assessment, medication review, and any necessary adjustments to optimize your results.

Can aesthetic treatments help with loose skin from weight loss?

Yes. Our medical spa offers non-surgical body contouring, skin tightening, and other aesthetic procedures that address loose skin as you lose weight. Your physician can discuss which treatments complement your weight loss and when they're appropriate.
