Although drugs vary and all carry their own risks, prescription weight loss medications may assist you. They work by reducing your appetite and improving glycemic control. Medications, in addition to a healthy lifestyle and good nutrition can be very helpful in getting you to your goal. Decreasing your overall body fat percentage can also help to relieve joint pain, decrease cholesterol levels, relieve stress on your heart, and improve your self-image!

Tirzepatide is a ‘dual agonist’ because it activates two types of receptors in the body; glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). Semaglutide is a ‘single agonist’ working on the GLP-1 receptors. These medications mimic naturally occurring molecules and assist in metabolic function. Please schedule a consultation with our provider if you would like more information on how these medications may help you.

Our providers start by chatting with you, evaluating your current lifestyle, medications, diet, medical history and family history.

If it is determined that you are a good candidate for our program, you will have some lab work done to ensure that it is safe to start. After making a plan with your provider, our program will be tailored to your needs and based on your personal progress. We will have regular check-ins to monitor progress and discuss any issues or concerns.

Yes! The reason many diets don’t work, especially for women, is because they don’t address hormonal imbalances that can cause weight loss resistance. Energy loss that often comes with age-related hormonal imbalance contributes to weight gain in both men and women.  Several hormones have a role in dictating your metabolic rate, managing your energy, and regulating your blood sugar levels which all affect your ability to lose weight. The great thing is we can optimize your hormones too. To learn more see our hormone therapy page. 

YES! We know that optimizing the ENTIRE human body will undoubtedly help you get to your goals. Ensuring that you live the happiest and most fulfilled life!
