What is Medical Weight Loss?

Our medical weight loss program takes a comprehensive approach to traditional weight loss. Along with dietary coaching and tips for creating a healthy lifestyle, we offer weight loss injectables and body contouring treatments to provide sustainable weight loss and enhance the results of patients’ weight loss efforts. Treatment begins with an in-depth consultation and evaluation, during which the InBody system is used to measure muscle mass and fat levels. Results will be used to create a carefully tailored weight loss plan considering each patient’s medical history and goals. One of the following injectables is typically included with each treatment plan:

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 medication initially designed to treat Type II diabetes, but has been clinically proven to be effective for weight loss. It targets GLP-1 receptors in the brain, which are responsible for appetite regulation, resulting in reduced feelings of hunger. By limiting portion size, in combination with diet and exercise, patients can achieve faster and more sustainable weight loss.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is another type of weight loss medication that targets GIP receptors in addition to GLP-1 receptors. GIP hormones play a significant role in insulin secretion and metabolism. By triggering the release of insulin and slowing digestion, Tirzepatide helps patients feel satiated for longer, and glucose or sugar can be used to boost energy and burn fat. The choice of medication will be determined after a consultation with Dr. Nowak.
