What is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss refers to a physician-directed program that incorporates evidence-based methods to help individuals lose weight safely and effectively. Our program combines prescription weight loss solutions with nutrition counseling, exercise recommendations, and lifestyle support to help patients manage hunger, reduce cravings, and improve insulin sensitivity.

Unlike fad diets or one-size-fits-all solutions, our approach is tailored to your unique physiology, medical history, and goals. With a focus on blood sugar support and metabolism optimization, our patients often report reduced food cravings, increased energy, and enhanced motivation.

How Does It Work?

Our prescription weight loss program may include medications that support appetite suppression and blood sugar regulation. These tools help reset your metabolic balance, allowing your body to use energy more efficiently and burn fat more effectively.

Patients typically receive weekly visits or check-ins to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments. Our weight loss injections, if applicable to your treatment plan, are administered by trained professionals and are well-tolerated by most patients. We design every aspect of the program around your personal needs and provide continuous support throughout your journey.

Who is a Candidate for Medical Weight Loss?

Ideal candidates for our physician-supervised weight loss programs include individuals who:

  • Have a BMI of 30 or higher
