What is medically managed weight loss?
Our medically-managed weight loss program is a comprehensive, personalized approach to weight management, leveraging advanced pharmaceutical aids. This program includes medications such as Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, Contrave, and Phentermine.
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that stimulates insulin secretion and suppresses glucagon secretion, thus aiding in weight loss. Tirzepatide is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and GLP-1 receptor agonist that works to control appetite and optimize glucose metabolism.
Contrave is a combination medication featuring naltrexone and bupropion, which work together to reduce hunger and control cravings. Phentermine is a short-term appetite suppressant, stimulating the nervous system to decrease appetite.
These medications, under the guidance and supervision of our experienced physicians, are integrated into a personalized weight loss plan. This plan also includes dietary guidance, physical activity recommendations, and behavioral counseling to help patients achieve and maintain their weight loss goals. The goal is not only weight loss but also the improvement of overall health and well-being.

Is medical weight loss for you?
Medically managed weight loss programs are designed for individuals who have a significant amount of weight to lose and have had difficulty achieving or maintaining weight loss with diet and exercise alone. This includes individuals who are overweight or obese, and those who have weight-related health issues such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea.
These programs might also be suitable for individuals who have certain medical conditions where weight loss can lead to significant health improvements. It’s also for those who have been unsuccessful with other weight loss methods or who need a more structured program to help them lose weight.
However, not everyone is a suitable candidate for medically managed weight loss. The appropriateness of such a program, including the use of weight loss medications, is determined by a healthcare professional based on an individual’s overall health, medical history, and weight loss needs and goals. It’s important to have a comprehensive medical evaluation before starting a medically managed weight loss program.
