Medical Weight Loss Programs
Physician-supervised weight loss solutions powered by proven medications and personalized medical guidance
Transform Your Health with Medical Weight Loss
Our medical weight loss programs combine FDA-approved medications with physician oversight to help you achieve sustainable, long-term results. Unlike fad diets or quick fixes, our approach addresses the biological factors that make weight loss challenging, giving you the tools to succeed.
Every program is customized to your unique health profile, weight loss goals, and medical history. Our licensed physicians evaluate your candidacy and prescribe the most appropriate medication and dosing protocol for your needs.
Weight Loss Medications We May Prescribe
Semaglutide
Class: GLP-1 receptor agonist
How it works: Mimics the GLP-1 hormone naturally produced in your gut to regulate appetite and blood sugar. Slows gastric emptying so you feel fuller longer, reduces food cravings, and helps your body use insulin more effectively.
Administration: Once-weekly subcutaneous injection (small needle, easy self-administration)
Expected results: Clinical studies show average weight loss of 15-20% of body weight over 68 weeks when combined with lifestyle modifications.
Best for: Patients seeking significant weight loss with proven clinical efficacy, improved metabolic health, and cardiovascular benefits.
Tirzepatide
Class: Dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist
How it works: Activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors for enhanced appetite suppression and improved insulin sensitivity. This dual action provides greater weight loss compared to GLP-1 medications alone while supporting metabolic health.
Administration: Once-weekly subcutaneous injection
Expected results: Clinical trials demonstrate average weight loss of 20-25% of body weight over 72 weeks, making it one of the most effective weight loss medications available.
Best for: Patients seeking maximum weight loss results, those with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, or individuals who may benefit from dual-receptor activation.
Liraglutide
Class: GLP-1 receptor agonist
How it works: Similar mechanism to semaglutide, regulating appetite and blood sugar while providing cardiovascular protection. Helps reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness.
Administration: Once-daily subcutaneous injection
Expected results: Average weight loss of 8-12% of body weight over 56 weeks with lifestyle modifications.
Best for: Patients who prefer daily dosing, have specific medical considerations, or are looking for proven cardiovascular benefits alongside weight loss.
Compounded GLP-1 Medications
Options include: Compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide, and other GLP-1 formulations
How it works: Custom-formulated by licensed US pharmacies using the same active ingredients as brand-name medications. Provides cost-effective alternatives while maintaining quality and efficacy.
Administration: Typically once-weekly injections, though frequency may vary by formulation
Expected results: Similar efficacy to brand-name versions when properly dosed and administered
Best for: Patients seeking more affordable options, requiring customized dosing protocols, or needing specific formulation adjustments.
Phentermine
Class: Sympathomimetic appetite suppressant
How it works: Stimulates the release of neurotransmitters that suppress appetite and increase energy expenditure. One of the most prescribed weight loss medications with decades of proven use.
Administration: Oral tablet or capsule taken once daily, typically in the morning
Expected results: Average weight loss of 5-10% of body weight when combined with diet and exercise
Best for: Short-term weight loss support (typically 12 weeks), patients seeking oral medication, or those needing appetite suppression and energy boost.
Phentermine/Topiramate Extended-Release
Class: Combination appetite suppressant and anticonvulsant
How it works: Combines phentermine's appetite suppression with topiramate's effects on satiety and metabolism. The combination provides enhanced weight loss compared to either medication alone.
Administration: Oral capsule taken once daily
Expected results: Average weight loss of 10-15% of body weight over one year
Best for: Patients seeking oral medication with enhanced efficacy, those who haven't achieved goals with single-agent therapy.
Naltrexone/Bupropion Extended-Release
Class: Combination opioid antagonist and antidepressant
How it works: Works on the brain's reward system to reduce food cravings and increase feelings of fullness. Also helps improve mood and energy.
Administration: Oral tablet taken twice daily
Expected results: Average weight loss of 5-10% of body weight over one year
Best for: Patients with emotional eating patterns, those seeking oral medication, or individuals who may benefit from mood support alongside weight loss.
Metformin
Class: Biguanide antidiabetic medication
How it works: Improves insulin sensitivity and reduces glucose production in the liver. While primarily used for diabetes, it supports modest weight loss and metabolic health.
Administration: Oral tablet taken 1-2 times daily with meals
Expected results: Modest weight loss of 2-5% of body weight, with significant metabolic benefits
Best for: Patients with insulin resistance, prediabetes, PCOS, or those seeking metabolic support alongside weight loss.
