Whether the cause is biological or behavioral, medical weight loss empowers you to take charge of your health.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps regulate blood sugar levels, appetite, and weight by mimicking the action of a natural hormone involved in glucose control and appetite suppression.
Semaglutide slows down digestion, reduces appetite, and promotes a feeling of fullness, making it easier to adhere to a reduced-calorie diet.
Semaglutide is typically prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher (or 27+ with a weight-related condition such as hypertension or type 2 diabetes).
Semaglutide is given as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection, usually in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and mild stomach upset. These usually improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Severe side effects are rare but include gallbladder issues or pancreatitis.
Combining Semaglutide with a healthy diet and regular exercise will enhance results. Our clinic provides tailored meal plans and fitness recommendations.
The duration depends on your goals and response to treatment. Many patients use Semaglutide for several months under medical supervision.
Coverage varies. We recommend contacting your insurance provider or discussing payment options with our clinic.
Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist. It improves blood sugar control and supports weight loss by regulating appetite and promoting satiety.
Tirzepatide works by mimicking hormones that signal the brain to reduce hunger, slow digestion, and improve energy use, helping with sustainable weight management.
Tirzepatide is suitable for individuals with type 2 diabetes or those seeking medical weight loss who meet specific clinical criteria.
It is a once-weekly injection, self-administered in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
Mild side effects include nausea, vomiting, or constipation, which generally subside as your body adjusts. Rare but serious side effects include pancreatitis and severe allergic reactions.
Stopping Tirzepatide should be done under medical supervision. Maintaining weight loss often requires ongoing lifestyle changes and monitoring.
It is not recommended for individuals with a personal or family history of certain thyroid cancers or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome.
While Tirzepatide reduces appetite and promotes weight loss, it is most effective when combined with a balanced diet and physical activity.
Hormone optimization is a therapy that restores hormonal balance to improve overall well-being, including energy levels, weight, sleep, and libido.
Adults experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, low libido, or poor sleep may benefit. A comprehensive assessment will determine eligibility.
Treatment may involve bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), supplements, lifestyle modifications, or other medical interventions tailored to your needs.
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones your body produces, making them a natural and effective option for hormone therapy.
It addresses issues like low testosterone, estrogen/progesterone imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, and adrenal fatigue.
Most patients notice improvements in energy, mood, and overall wellness within a few weeks, with continued benefits over months.
When supervised by a medical professional, risks are minimal. Our clinic monitors your progress with regular testing to ensure safety.
Coverage depends on your insurance plan and the specific treatments involved. We offer transparent pricing and financing options.
