If you’ve tried to lose weight on your own and still feel stuck, you’re not alone — and you’re not the problem.

How Our Weight Loss Program Works
Your first visit includes labs, body composition analysis, and a detailed intake to understand what’s driving your weight challenges. During your consultation, we build a personalized plan across nutrition, fitness, sleep, stress, and lifestyle.
Treatment plans may include medication when appropriate, monthly physician follow-ups, and a guided maintenance phase to support long-term results.
Clinical Testing and Ongoing Monitoring
Your program begins with a full picture of your metabolic and hormonal health, including labs, an EKG, and body composition analysis. These insights help us identify what matters most for your progress. Monthly check-ins and data reviews allow us to adjust your plan so you continue moving forward with confidence.
Structured Nutritional Counseling
You receive simple, personalized nutrition guidance that fits your routine — high-protein structures, grocery lists, and practical recipes to keep you consistent. Our goal is to give you a sustainable way of eating that you can maintain for life.
Fitness and Lifestyle Integration
Your movement and lifestyle plan supports metabolism, protects muscle, and improves energy. Resistance-based routines, daily movement goals, and guidance around sleep and stress help your body respond more predictably. Whether you’re rebuilding strength or navigating hormonal changes, we help you find a rhythm that feels realistic and achievable.
Physician Supervised Weight Loss Medications
Medications are a tool — never the whole plan. When appropriate, we use compounded GLP-1 prescription medications with thoughtful, evidence-based dosing and flexible adjustments based on your symptoms, appetite patterns, and monthly data. Candidacy for weight loss injections depends on your weight loss goals, labs, body mass index (BMI), and related medical conditions.
-
GLP-1s (Semaglutide and Tirzepatide): May help regulate appetite and support steady progress.
-
Phentermine: A structured appetite-support option when appropriate.
-
B-12 Injections*: Supportive injections for energy during your journey. *Not weight loss medication itself.
Daily Accountability and Real-Time Support
You’ll receive daily email guidance, personalized menus, grocery lists, and simple habit targets to keep your progress steady. Our tracking app keeps everything organized, and our team monitors your momentum so you stay consistent between visits. Many patients say this structure is what finally helps them break the cycle of starting and stopping.
