To qualify for medical weight loss with GLP-1 medications, you typically need a BMI of 27+ with a weight-related health condition (like high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes) OR a BMI of 30+. During your consultation, we’ll review your health history and determine if you’re a good candidate.

Results vary by individual, but clinical studies show patients lose an average of 15-20% of their body weight over 12-18 months when combining GLP-1 medications with lifestyle changes. We focus on sustainable, healthy weight loss tailored to your goals.

The most common side effects are mild nausea, digestive changes, and reduced appetite (which is part of how the medication works). Most side effects are temporary and decrease over time. We start with low doses and adjust gradually to minimize discomfort.

No. Our goal is to use the lowest most efficacious dose for the shortest duration possible. We prioritize evidence-based nutrition counseling, sustainable lifestyle changes, and a monitored discontinuation plan when clinically appropriate.

Coverage varies by insurance plan. We offer month-to-month pay-as-you-go programs to make weight loss accessible. During your consultation, we’ll discuss pricing options and help you understand your best path forward.

You’ll have regular check-ins with our Family Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant. Initially, visits are more frequent (every 2-4 weeks) to monitor your progress and adjust your plan. As you stabilize, visits may space out to monthly or as needed.
