Our Medical Weightloss Offerings
GLP-1 Therapy
GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) therapy is an innovative treatment that helps regulate appetite and improve blood sugar control. This therapy can significantly aid in weight reduction by enhancing satiety and reducing calorie intake. GLP-1 receptor agonists work by mimicking the action of the natural hormone GLP-1, which slows gastric emptying, promotes the release of insulin, and reduces the secretion of glucagon. This multi-faceted approach helps manage both weight and metabolic health effectively.
Ozempic
Ozempic is a medication commonly prescribed for weight management and diabetes control. It works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, slowing digestion, and reducing appetite. This leads to effective weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes such as a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Ozempic has shown promising results in clinical trials, helping patients lose significant amounts of weight and maintain their weight loss over time.
POCUST
Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUST) assists in monitoring your health throughout your weight loss journey. This technology helps our medical team make informed decisions about your treatment plan. By providing real-time imaging, POCUST allows us to assess organ health, body composition, and metabolic function. This valuable tool ensures that your weightloss program is safe, effective, and tailored to your specific needs.
IV Therapy: Weight Metabolize Drip and Metabolism Drip
Our specialized IV therapies are designed to boost metabolism, enhance fat burning, and provide essential nutrients directly into your bloodstream. These drips support your body’s natural weight management processes, improve energy levels, and promote overall well-being. The Weight Metabolize Drip contains a blend of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that stimulate metabolism, while the Metabolism Drip focuses on enhancing cellular energy production and fat oxidation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is medical weight loss?
Medical weight loss involves physician-supervised programs that use evidence-based treatments to help individuals lose weight safely and effectively. Unlike commercial diets, medical weight loss addresses the underlying causes of weight gain and includes medical monitoring to ensure optimal health.
How does GLP-1 therapy work?
GLP-1 therapy helps regulate blood sugar levels and reduces appetite, making it easier to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. It works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, which influences areas of the brain that control hunger and satiety.
Is Ozempic safe for weight loss?
Yes, when prescribed and monitored by a healthcare professional, Ozempic is a safe and effective option for weight management. It has been extensively studied in clinical trials and is approved by regulatory authorities for weight management in specific populations.
What can I expect during my first appointment?
During your initial consultation, we will review your medical history, discuss your weightloss goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan. This may include a physical examination, laboratory tests, and a discussion of your lifestyle and dietary habits.
How long does it take to see results?
The timeline for seeing results varies depending on the individual and the treatment plan. Some patients notice changes within a few weeks, while others may take longer. Consistency and adherence to the program are key to achieving sustainable results.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects vary depending on the treatment. Common side effects of GLP-1 therapy and Ozempic include nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal discomfort, which usually subside as your body adjusts. Our medical team will discuss potential side effects with you and provide guidance on how to manage them.
Can medical weight loss help with other health conditions?
Yes, medical weight loss can improve or even resolve many health conditions associated with obesity, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and high cholesterol. Losing weight can also reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases and improve overall quality of life.
