about the program
Our medical weight loss program is geared towards those who have a desired weight loss goal and have not been successful with previous strategies.
The goal of this program is to help our patients achieve weight loss while learning healthy lifestyle habits to help sustain the weight that they lose.
We do not recommend prescribing weight loss medication long term in most cases. Our goal is to get our patients to their goal weight, and while they are on their weight loss journey, we work diligently to equip you with healthy eating and exercise habits that allow for a positive lifestyle change in order to maintain the weight loss once the course of medication is complete.
Once you have reached your desired weight loss amount, we transition to weight loss maintenance. These appointments are less frequent and are there to allow patients to have a continued support system to help maintain weight loss along with healthy nutrition and exercise.
Weight loss medications
We utilize Semiglutide or Tirzepatide to medically facilitate weight loss.
We also offer vitamin/peptide supplements including Vitamin B12 or MICC injections which contribute to increased energy and additional weight loss.
Our diet program utilizes a calorie deficit, further broken down into daily macronutrient goals.
Our exercise recommendations are geared to be easily attainable, even for a busy lifestyle.
Semiglutide
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist originally developed for treating type 2 diabetes. It mimics a hormone that regulates appetite and glucose metabolism.
How it Helps with Weight Loss:
It reduces appetite and slows gastric emptying. This in turn contributes to increased feelings of fullness and decreased hunger.
How it is administered:
Once weekly subcutaneous injection.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a dual peptide, activating two hormone receptors, GLP-1(glucagon-like-peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulin tropic polypeptide). It also is used to treat type 2 diabetes and has also been found to be effective for weight loss. Some clinical trials have shown that it is more effective for weight loss than semaglutide, however it does tend to cost a bit more.
How it Helps with Weight Loss:
This works by increasing glucose dependent insulin and decreasing inappropriate glucagon secretion as well as slowing gastric emptying and decreases feelings of hunger.
How it is administered:
Once weekly subcutaneous injection
MICC Injection
MICC helps support fat loss by increasing overall energy. It can help reduce fat deposits and accelerate metabolic processes. This injection includes methionine, inositol, choline, and cyanocobalamin.
How it is administered: Once weekly via IM injection
Vitamin B12 Injection
Vitamin B12 helps to utilize fats and carbohydrates for energy and make new proteins. It is important in maintaining metabolism, making red blood cells, and nerve function. It can be used to assist with weight loss if combined with semaglutide or tirzepatide.
How it is administered: IM injection weekly or monthly
