Medical Weight Loss Medication and Management involves recognition of the changes in nutritional needs and body composition we age. We provide age appropriate counseling for the nutritional needs of Perimenopausal and Menopausal women, and prescribe Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, two popular GLP-1 medications, to help with weight loss.
Just as nutritional needs change for children, the same is true for how our perimenopausal and menopausal nutritional needs shift as we transition through middle age and beyond. Hormone fluctuation, life stressors, chronic health problems, and body composition changes all effect how we feel in our bodies. New medications are available to aid Patients in achieving the nutrition and weight goals they desire. We counsel on nutrition and prescribe medications to help Patients reach their weight and wellness goals. We also have community partnerships to refer Patients to if we feel they would benefit from their services, to add to their overall wellness.
All of our weight loss management Patients have a full hour of consultation and metabolic labs ordered prior to ordering weight loss medications. We have a three month commitment with each prescription of Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. We also can prescribe medications to prevent some of the more common side effects of these medications, to keep our Patients comfortable. Our Patients can reach out to us at any time, but we see them monthly in the office for weight checks and a complimentary B-12 injection to enhance weight loss and overall wellness.
