HOW MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS WORKS
Semaglutide and Trizepatide are medications that help with weight loss by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1 and GIP agonists that target areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake.
It slows down gastric emptying, increases feelings of fullness, and helps reduce food cravings. By incorporating Semaglutide or Trizapatide into our weight loss program, patients can achieve significant and sustained weight loss, especially when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM FAQs
Our program is unique because it’s medically supervised and tailored to each patient’s specific needs. We use advanced medications like Semaglutide and Trizepatide, which target appetite and metabolic pathways, combined with personalized dietary and exercise guidance. The program also includes regular follow-ups to ensure your health is monitored and your weight loss is sustainable.
Most patients begin to notice weight loss within the first few weeks of starting the program, particularly as the medication helps control appetite and cravings. By the end of the 12-week program, many patients experience significant weight loss, often seeing a reduction of 10-15% of their body weight. Results will vary depending on adherence to dietary and lifestyle recommendations.
Yes, Semaglutide and Trizepatide are FDA-approved medications for weight loss in individuals with obesity or weight-related health issues. These medications have been clinically tested and shown to be effective in supporting significant weight loss when used under medical supervision. We carefully screen patients during the consultation to ensure these medications are appropriate for them.
During your initial consultation, we’ll review your medical history, current medications, and any underlying health conditions. Many patients with conditions like high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes benefit from weight loss and may be approved for the program. However, certain conditions may contraindicate the use of weight loss medications, and we’ll discuss alternative options if needed.
While our program doesn’t require a strict or restrictive diet, it does emphasize healthy eating habits and portion control. We’ll review your current diet and make personalized recommendations to complement the effects of the medication. Small changes in eating habits, paired with the appetite-suppressing effects of Semaglutide or Trizepatide, can result in sustained weight loss.
You’ll need to attend regular follow-up visits to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment. Typically, these occur every two weeks for the first month, and then monthly for the remainder of the 12-week program. Virtual follow-ups are also available for added convenience.
Plateaus are common in any weight loss journey. If your progress slows down, we’ll evaluate your diet, exercise routine, and medication dosage to identify potential adjustments. We may modify your plan to jumpstart your progress and help you continue toward your weight loss goals.
Yes! After the 12-week intensive program, many patients choose to enter a maintenance phase to continue losing weight or to sustain their results. The maintenance plan is customized based on your progress and goals and includes regular follow-ups and, if needed, continued medication.
Like all medications, Semaglutide and Trizepatide may have side effects. The most common are mild and include nausea, digestive discomfort, or changes in bowel habits. These usually subside as your body adjusts to the medication. During follow-up visits, we’ll monitor for any side effects and adjust your treatment if necessary.
This program is ideal for individuals who have struggled to lose weight through traditional diet and exercise methods. If you’re committed to making lifestyle changes and are seeking a medically supervised solution that includes the use of effective, FDA-approved medications, this program could be a great fit for you. The best way to know for sure is to schedule a consultation where we’ll evaluate your health and discuss your weight loss goals.
