What is medical weight loss and how does it work?
Medical weight loss is a medically-supervised program designed to help individuals achieve and maintain a healthy weight through a combination of diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes, as well as medication or other medical interventions as needed. The goal is to achieve sustainable weight loss over the long term by addressing underlying health conditions and risk factors that may contribute to weight gain.
One of the key features of medical weight loss is that it is personalized to the individual. Medical professionals will work with patients to create a weight loss plan that is tailored to their specific needs, goals, and health status. This can include addressing underlying health conditions that may be contributing to weight gain, such as thyroid issues or hormonal imbalances.
Losing Weight & Maintaining Health
While the primary goal of medical weight loss is to help individuals lose weight, it is also focused on helping them maintain their health over the long term. This means that the weight loss plan will not only address weight loss, but also other aspects of health such as improving cardiovascular health, reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, and improving overall quality of life.
Medical weight loss plans often include regular check-ins with healthcare providers to track progress, make adjustments to the plan as needed, and provide ongoing support and encouragement.
Common FAQs
Who is a candidate for medical weight loss?
Medical weight loss may be appropriate for individuals who are overweight or obese and have struggled to lose weight through traditional methods such as diet and exercise. It may also be recommended for individuals with medical conditions that are exacerbated by excess weight, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or sleep apnea.
Before beginning a medical weight loss program, individuals will typically undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation to assess their overall health status and identify any underlying health conditions that may need to be addressed. This can help ensure that the weight loss plan is safe, effective, and tailored to the individual’s needs.
How long before you see results?
The timeline for seeing results of medical weight loss can vary depending on a variety of factors, including an individual’s starting weight, overall health, and weight loss goals. In general, most people can expect to see some initial weight loss within the first few weeks of starting a medical weight loss program, with the rate of weight loss slowing down over time.
Typically, a healthy rate of weight loss is considered to be around 1-2 pounds per week, although this can vary depending on individual circumstances. It’s important to keep in mind that sustainable weight loss is a gradual process and that the ultimate goal is to achieve long-term weight management and improved overall health, rather than quick or drastic weight loss.
Additionally, it’s important to work closely with a healthcare professional throughout the process to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to the weight loss plan.
Are there any risks of medical weight loss?
Like any medical intervention, there are potential risks associated with medical weight loss. However, these risks are typically low when the program is properly supervised and tailored to the individual’s needs and health status.
Does medical weight loss work for everyone?
Medical weight loss programs can be effective for many people, but they may not work for everyone. The success of a medical weight loss program depends on several factors, including an individual’s starting weight, overall health, weight loss goals, and commitment to the program. To get a better idea of how effective the treatment will be, we encourage every person to consult with us either in person or over the phone.

TIRZEPATIDE
A once-weekly GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptor and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist, representing a new class of medicines studied for the treatment of obesity.
HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY (HRT)
Women can experience hormone imbalances due to perimenopause and menopause as well as various medical conditions and medications — and it involves more than estrogen and progesterone. We understand that testosterone deficiencies significantly affect women as well. That’s why we provide your patients an array of hormone options no matter what they need to get back in balance.
TESOFENSINE
An inhibitor of presynaptic uptake of the neuro-transmitters serotonin, noradrenaline, and dopamine, acts primarily as an appetite suppressant with simultaneous effects on fat oxidation and resting energy expenditure. Clinical trial data suggests it may potentially achieve more significant reductions in weight than that seen with currently approved weight loss agents.
NAD
Nicotinamide adenine nucleotide (NAD+) has emerged as a key regulator of cellular processes that control the body’s response to stress. NAD boosters, small molecules that raise NAD+ levels, are now considered to be highly promising for the treatment of multiple diseases and the potential extension of the human lifespan.
TB-500
TB-500 is a synthetic fraction of the protein thymosin beta-4. The main purpose of this peptide is to promote healing. The healing effects of TB-500 have been observed in tendons, ligaments, muscles, skin, heart, and eyes. T• Up-regulates Actin and forms a ternary complex with actin and profilin.
FAT REDUCING CREAM
The fat on the thighs and abdominal area is more difficult to mobilize due to increased alpha-2 adrenergic receptor activity induced by estrogen. Lipolysis can be initiated through adipocyte receptor stimulation (beta-adrenergic) or inhibition (adenosine or alpha-2 adrenergic) or by inhibition of phosphodiesterase. Since many people desire regional thigh and abdominal fat loss, Topical aminophylline abdominal and thigh cream has been introduced as a method of treating cellulite, or dimpled thighs and buttocks.
BPC 157
BPC 157, composed of 15 amino acids, is a partial sequence of body protection compound (BPC) that is discovered in and isolated from the human gastric juice. Experimentally it has been demonstrated to accelerate the healing of many different wounds, including tendon-to-bone healing and superior healing of damaged ligaments.
AOD 9604
Like Growth Hormone, AOD 9604 stimulates lipolysis (the breakdown or destruction of fat) and inhibits lipogenesis (the transformation of nonfat food materials into body fat) both in laboratory testing and in animals and humans.
5-AMINO-1-MQ
Nicotinamide-N-methyltransferase (NNMT), is a cytosolic enzyme with newly identified roles in cellular metabolism and energy homeostasis. Studies indicate that this enzyme slows down the process at which our bodies metabolize fat cells.
