Semaglutide

• Medical weight loss programs provide the monitoring and support that other systems sometimes lack to set the patient up for success.

• Semaglutide is an FDA-approved GLP-1 RA drug that is injected into the subcutaneous tissue once weekly to help aid in weight loss. In conjunction with diet and lifestyle modifications, patients can lose 10-20% of their body weight, not only gaining more confidence but also decreasing the risk of developing chronic illnesses in the future.

• The membership for this drug is $400/month.

SEVERAL MEMBERSHIP OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE, PLEASE INQUIRE!!

Tirzepatide

• Tirzepatide stimulates GIP and GLP-1 a natural incretin hormone important for appetite regulation. It has been shown to decrease food intake and modulate fat utilization. A phase 3 clinical trial showed that high doses tirzepatide helped patients lost 15-22.5% of their total body weight on average, or about 52 lbs, better than any medication currently on the market. Most patients in the trial had a BMI of 30 or higher.

• The membership for this drug includes the same things as semaglutide (visits, labs, medication, etc) but is $800/month.
