Holistic healthcare addresses the physical, social, mental, emotional, vocational, and spiritual components of wellness. Our integrated approach to weight management is comprehensive and tailored including nutrition counseling, physical activity, and behavioral therapy. We also explore medication treatment options.
An initial weight loss visit includes a focused medical evaluation for obesity-related diseases, causative factors, and a comprehensive examination. It also involves evaluating weight history, past diet attempts, and social and psychological factors.
A comprehensive lifestyle approach to weight management is vital because it can manage weight gain associated with diabetes, high cholesterol, thyroid disorders, abnormal liver disorders, and sleep apnea. Additional testing may be recommended depending on medical history, physical findings, and screening for depression. Overall, the management of obesity includes:
When it comes to managing weight, it's important to consider various factors such as genetic predisposition, metabolism, gender, age, hormone imbalances, sleep patterns, mental health, stress levels, and other medical conditions. External factors like work schedules, financial pressures, societal influences, and environmental cues can also significantly impact weight management. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for long-term weight loss, and a personalized approach using a combination of strategies and tools may be necessary to achieve sustainable results.
We provide a thorough weight management assessment that includes a detailed review of your medical and weight history, an analysis of your nutrition and exercise habits, and other factors that may contribute to weight gain. In some cases, laboratory studies, and EKG or heart studies may be required.
We offer an initial weight loss plan and continuous reassessment and adaptation of the plan to incorporate the most effective tools for our clients. We can also start and adjust medication to aid in weight loss if necessary. Medical records, lab work, and an EKG may be necessary before prescribing weight loss medication.
Our dedicated team of board-certified nurse practitioners, licensed clinical social workers, and registered dietitians are deeply committed to delivering exceptional care. Through our integrated approach, we can comprehensively address multiple aspects of care, ensuring that our interventions are centered around the individual.

All of the weight loss medications listed must be used with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Typical weight loss medications include:
Semaglutide (Wegovy) is a medication approved for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with co-existing conditions. It is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, which means it mimics a hormone that helps regulate appetite and glucose metabolism.
Key points about Semaglutide (Wegovy):
Tirzepatide (Zepbound) is an injectable medication designed to assist with weight loss, particularly for individuals with obesity or overweight conditions. It mimics the action of two hormones, GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (gastric inhibitory polypeptide), which help regulate blood sugar levels and appetite.
Key features of Tirzepatide (Zepbound):
Liraglutide (Saxenda) is a medication used for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with co-existing conditions. It is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics a hormone that regulates appetite and food intake.
Key features of Liraglutide (Saxenda):
Bupropion-naltrexone (Contrave) is a prescription medication designed for weight management in adults. It combines two drugs: bupropion, an antidepressant that can help reduce appetite, and naltrexone, which is used to manage addiction and also affects appetite regulation.
Key features of Bupropion-naltrexone (Contrave):
Phentermine-topiramate (Qsymia) is a prescription medication used for weight management in adults. It combines two components: phentermine, an appetite suppressant, and topiramate, a medication originally used to treat epilepsy and migraines that can also promote weight loss.
Key features of Phentermine-topiramate (Qsymia):
For patients who want to use appetite suppressants, you'll need an EKG within the last 90 days. Thyroid tests and blood work may also be required before prescribing any weight loss medications and can be ordered at your initial visit. If you need more intensive heart studies, like a stress test or heart evaluation, we'll give you the order to schedule this with a cardiologist's office, and it will be billed through your insurance by the cardiologist's office.
