Weight Loss Management

What is Weight Loss Management

Maintaining a healthy weight is an important part of overall wellness. Weight Management is a medically guided approach to understanding why your body holds onto weight and how to support healthy, sustainable change. Instead of relying on quick fixes or one-size-fits-all diets, we look at the full picture. Depending on your membership, we may look into your metabolism, hormones, gut health, lifestyle, and daily habits. By identifying the underlying factors that influence weight, we create a plan that fits your life and helps you feel stronger, more energetic, and more confident. The goal is long-term success, not temporary results.

Frequently asked questions

Do you prescribe GLP-1 medications?

Yes. GLP-1 medications may be included when appropriate, including compounded options. We review your health history, symptoms, current medications, and weight goals, and may recommend targeted labs to understand metabolic or hormone-related contributors before prescribing, then monitor your response and adjust the plan over time.

How is your approach different from a typical “diet plan” or calorie-counting program?

As board-certified medical providers, we build a personalized strategy that addresses likely drivers of weight gain or weight-loss resistance, such as insulin resistance, thyroid and hormone factors, sleep, stress, nutrition patterns, and daily habits. The plan is medically sound, practical, sustainable, and tailored to your body and goals.

What does monitoring and follow-up look like during the program?

Weight loss is managed as an ongoing, iterative process: we track progress, symptoms, and tolerance (especially if medication is used) and refine nutrition, lifestyle, and dosing based on results. Follow-up frequency is individualized based on your needs and how your body responds.

Do you prescribe controlled substances for weight loss?

No. We do not prescribe controlled substances for weight loss. When medication is appropriate, options may include GLP-1 medications (including compounded options) alongside nutrition and lifestyle support.

Can I do weight loss care virtually?

Yes. Weight loss care can be delivered via virtual visits throughout Colorado and Arizona, including evaluation, ongoing check-ins, medication management when appropriate, and coordination of labs and prescriptions.

What costs should I expect beyond my membership?

Your membership covers visits, follow-ups, and ongoing monitoring. The cost of labs and medications (including GLP-1s, if used) is not included. Optional add-ons, such as health coaching and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), may be recommended.
