Weight Management

Weight Management

Weight management at the practice is a thoughtful, medically guided process designed to support long-term metabolic health. Each plan is individualized and rooted in a deep understanding of your hormones, lifestyle, nutrition, and overall physiology, not just the number on the scale. Appointments are calm, intentional, and centered around helping you achieve sustainable change with clarity and confidence.

A Comprehensive, Medically Informed Approach

Effective weight management requires more than temporary diets or quick fixes. It requires a personalized plan that evaluates why your body is responding the way it is and what factors are influencing your metabolism. Your evaluation may include laboratory testing, metabolic assessment, thyroid and hormonal review, body composition analysis, and a full review of your health history and daily habits.

This approach allows for treatment plans that are realistic, supportive, and designed to fit the way your body works, both now and long term.

Medication Options and FDA-Approved Therapies

Medication can be an important tool in weight management when used safely and under medical supervision. Options may include:

  • Metformin

  • Phentermine

  • Topiramate (Separate from Qsymia combo)
  • Naltrexone (separate from Contrave combo)

  • FDA-approved obesity medications as appropriate

  • GLP-1 and GIP medications such as Wegovy, Saxenda, Zepbound, Qsymia

These treatments are integrated thoughtfully into your plan based on your health, goals, and metabolic needs.

The practice does not prescribe compounded weight loss medications due to FDA regulations and patient safety considerations. Only FDA-approved therapies are used to ensure consistency, quality, and long-term safety.

Is Weight Management Right for You?

A personalized program may be beneficial if you have experienced difficulty losing or maintaining weight on your own or if weight changes are affecting your metabolic or emotional health. This approach is also supportive for individuals managing: 

  • Diabetes or prediabetes
  • Hypertension
  • High cholesterol
  • Midlife hormonal changes
  • Thyroid dysfunction
  • Metabolic syndrome
  • Stress-related weight changes

 

Whether you are navigating one concern or several, weight management can help restore balance and support long-term health.

  • Review of your lifestyle, routines, and obstacles
  • Medication consideration when appropriate

  • Monitoring of sleep, stress, and emotional health

Your plan evolves as you progress. Visits include ongoing assessment, adjustments, encouragement, and a clear understanding of what to expect each step of the way.
