What is Weight Management?

Medical weight management programs combine a physician-led evaluation, lab work, nutrition and lifestyle coaching and, when appropriate, prescription medications such as GLP-1 receptor agonists (the class that includes semaglutide and tirzepatide).

Supervision matters: your provider screens for conditions that affect weight, chooses and adjusts medication safely, monitors side effects and helps you build habits that keep the weight off.

How the treatment works

You start with a medical history, body composition and labs. Your provider builds a plan and follows up regularly — often monthly — to track progress and adjust treatment.

What Weight Management can help with

  • Weight loss that has not responded to diet and exercise

  • Weight-related conditions such as prediabetes

  • Midlife and hormonal weight gain

  • Maintaining weight after reaching a goal

Before and after your appointment

  1. Bring a list of your medications and past weight loss attempts to your first visit.
  2. GLP-1 medications are usually started at a low dose and increased slowly to limit nausea.
  3. Protein intake and strength training help preserve muscle while losing weight.
  4. Expect regular check-ins — they are a key part of safe, lasting results.
