Medical Weight Loss Support

For individuals who may benefit from medical assistance, we offer FDA-approved weight loss medications including Contrave and Semaglutide:

  • Contrave combines bupropion and naltrexone to help reduce cravings and control appetite by acting on the brain’s reward system.

  • Semaglutide mimics the body’s natural GLP-1 hormone to regulate appetite, promote feelings of fullness, and support blood sugar balance.

Both medications have been clinically shown to enhance weight loss results when combined with healthy lifestyle changes. Our providers will work closely with you to determine if medication-assisted weight loss is appropriate for your goals and health profile.

Healthy Eating Coaching

Nutrition is a critical foundation for sustainable weight loss. Our team of experienced nutritionists and dietitians will work with you to create a personalized eating plan based on your specific needs, goals, and preferences. We emphasize balanced, nutrient-dense meals and real-world strategies to build healthier habits. Whether you need help with meal planning, portion control, or understanding how food impacts your metabolism, our coaching provides the tools you need to fuel your weight loss and maintain it long-term.

Habit and Behavior Counseling

Lasting weight loss isn’t just about what you eat — it’s also about understanding the behaviors behind your choices. Our licensed therapists offer habit counseling to help address emotional eating, low activity levels, stress management, and mindset shifts. By targeting these underlying patterns, we help you build healthier routines that support not just weight loss, but overall wellness. Our counseling empowers you to replace old habits with sustainable new ones for long-term success.

Hormonal Balance and Weight Management

Hormonal imbalances can significantly impact weight regulation, metabolism, and energy levels. We offer Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for individuals whose weight challenges may be related to low levels of estrogen, testosterone, or other key hormones. By restoring hormone levels to a balanced state, HRT can improve metabolism, increase energy, and support more effective weight management. Hormone therapy is always carefully personalized and medically supervised to ensure safety and optimal results.

Why Choose Us for Your Weight Loss Journey

Through evidence-based treatments, ongoing support, and compassionate care, we help you achieve not just weight loss, but a healthier, more vibrant life overall.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I need medication to lose weight?

Not necessarily. Medication is one option for individuals who meet specific criteria, but we also offer comprehensive lifestyle support without medication when appropriate.

Both medications are FDA-approved and have been studied extensively for weight loss. Our medical team carefully evaluates each patient’s health profile to ensure safe use.

While every individual is different, many patients begin to notice meaningful changes within the first few weeks of starting their personalized plan.

Potential side effects of Contrave may include nausea, headache, constipation, and insomnia. Semaglutide may cause nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, particularly early in treatment. Side effects are closely monitored.
