Medical Weight Loss Program

Chronic weight management can be difficult, but we are here to assist you with highly knowledgeable and compassionate care. Our medical weight loss allows individuals to safely and effectively lose weight under the supervision of Dr. Ellen and a team of nutritionists and exercise coaches.

What is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss utilizes weight loss injectables combined with diet and exercise to quickly lose weight and maintain your results. We offer Semaglutide, a GLP-1 medication that mimics the GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) hormone. This hormone triggers the release of insulin to lower blood sugar while targeting areas of the brain responsible for appetite. By decreasing appetite and triggering a feeling of fullness, patients will find it easier to eat less so that they can quickly lose excess weight. At our office, we often combine Semaglutide with B-12 injections to combat vitamin B deficiency and further promote healthy weight loss and weight management.

Who is a Candidate for Medical Weight Loss?

The best candidates for medical weight loss are overweight or obese individuals who are committed to losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Adult patients with a body mass index (BMI) over 25 are considered overweight and a BMI of 30 or higher are considered obese. Your treatment plan will be carefully designed based on how much weight you hope to lose and underlying medical conditions that may be impacting your body weight.

What to Expect

Medical weight loss begins with a physical assessment and bloodwork to determine each patient’s overall health and address underlying medical conditions. You will be given a food diary, which is optional but can be helpful to review at your follow-up appointments. We can provide dietary recommendations and offer tips about how to follow a new diet. Monthly recipes, meal strategies, and exercises will also be provided via a monthly newsletter.

A healthy diet and physical activity in combination with weight loss injectables is the best way to effectively lose and maintain weight. Dr. Ellen’s expertly trained staff will provide the added benefit of administering the injections to ensure proper protocol and injection site is used to maximize results. Monthly in-person or virtual 30-minute appointments will be scheduled to monitor medication and dosage; the dosage will be gradually increased as needed under the supervision of Dr. Ellen. Monthly online nutrition and exercise coaching will also be scheduled on Zoom.
