What To Expect:
After you’ve completed the Medical Weight Loss Intake Consult and had labwork drawn, you’ll start on our holistic medical weight loss foundational plan, including diet and lifestyle coaching to help you thrive and get ready for medication onboarding.
Then, if desired, you’ll start on the peptide (Semaglutide) injections. We start with a minimal dose to see how you tolerate it. Our goal is always to use the minimum dose needed to get optimal, healthy weight loss results of 1-2lbs/week. You’ll receive weekly Semaglutide and B12 injections either in our office or at home.
We track and encourage your progress with monthly check-in visits that support personalized functional weight management, and include a monthly in-office Body Composition Analysis to ensure you maintain muscle mass while losing weight.
The goal is gradual, sustainable weight loss with minimal side effects.
