Most adults who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone are good candidates. We also look at factors like insulin resistance, thyroid function, hormonal imbalances, and inflammation that may be working against you. The best way to know is to come in for a consultation so we can review your health history and labs together.

Results vary from person to person depending on starting weight, metabolism, lifestyle, and which treatment pathway is right for you. Most patients begin to see meaningful progress within the first four to eight weeks. Steady, sustainable loss is always the goal over rapid results that do not last.

You do not have to follow a rigid meal plan, but nutrition does play a role in how well the treatment works. Most patients find that their appetite naturally decreases on medication, which makes healthier choices easier without feeling like deprivation. We provide practical guidance rather than a long list of rules.

This is one of the most important conversations to have upfront. Weight regain is possible after stopping medication, which is why we focus on building sustainable habits throughout your treatment, not just relying on the medication alone. We will work with you on a long-term plan so you have the tools to maintain your results.

Some patients experience mild nausea, fatigue, or digestive changes in the early weeks as their body adjusts. These typically improve as the dose is titrated gradually. We monitor you closely throughout and adjust your protocol if anything is not feeling right.

To provide the highest level of personalized, patient-centered care, our clinic operates on a direct-pay model. This approach allows us to spend more time with you, tailor treatments to your unique needs, and focus on what’s clinically best for you, without administrative constraints. We are committed to transparency and will review all costs with you prior to starting any treatment

The medications we use work on a hormonal level, addressing the biological signals that control hunger, satiety, and metabolism. That is fundamentally different from willpower or a supplement. For many patients this is the first time their body has actually cooperated with their efforts because we are addressing the underlying biology, not just the behavior.

Yes, and this is actually one of the things that sets us apart. We run a comprehensive panel before recommending any treatment. Thyroid function, blood sugar, insulin levels, hormones, and inflammation markers all factor into what will work best for your body. We do not prescribe anything without understanding the full picture first.
