Personalized Weight Management—Medication, Therapy, Lifestyle

One size never fits all. We build an individually tailored plan that can include GLP-1 and other evidence-based medications, therapy, and metabolic lifestyle support. Choose a single path—or combine them for the best fit.

How It Works

1) Comprehensive Intake

We review medical history, medications, mental health, sleep, stress, nutrition, movement, and lab data to understand your whole picture.

  • Vitals, body composition (if available), and symptom screening
  • Medication & supplement review; interactions & contraindications
  • SMART goals that reflect your values and day-to-day reality

2) Tailored Plan

We co-create a plan: medication alone, therapy alone, lifestyle only, or an integrated approach.

  • Safety first, with evidence-based choices
  • Simple milestones and feedback loops
  • Clear “what to expect” timelines

3) Follow-Through

Regular check-ins, dose adjustments as needed, and practical skills for eating, movement, sleep, and stress.

  • Track progress (weight, waist, energy, mood, labs)
  • Plateau strategy playbook
  • Long-term maintenance planning

Choose the Care Path That Fits You

Medication-Only Care

For those who want a pharmacologic approach with clear guidance and safety monitoring.

GLP-1 options (e.g., semaglutide, tirzepatide, as clinically appropriate) Metformin (select cases) Bupropion or bupropion/naltrexone (select cases) Topiramate (select cases)

Baseline and periodic monitoring; side-effect minimization; discontinuation plans when ready.

Therapy-Only Care

Address the behavior and mindset drivers of weight. Helpful if you prefer to avoid medications or want to stabilize habits first.

CBT-based strategies Motivational interviewing Exposure/urge surfing for cravings Relapse-prevention skills

Build sustainable routines around meals, sleep, movement, and stress.

Lifestyle-Only Care

Structured, realistic habit design with nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress protocols that match your life and culture.

Protein-forward meal planning Glycemic awareness Strength + NEAT movement Sleep & circadian support

Stepwise habit stacking; metrics you can actually maintain.

Integrated Care (Most Popular)

Combine medication, therapy, and lifestyle for compounding benefits and better long-term maintenance.

  • Medication optimizes biology while therapy and habits sustain results
  • Custom pace: gentle ramp or more intensive phases
  • Clear criteria to taper meds when appropriate

About GLP-1 and Other Evidence-Based Medications

GLP-1 / Incretin-Based Options

  • Support appetite regulation and fullness signals
  • May improve glycemic control and weight in eligible patients
  • Titrated to effect with side-effect monitoring

Other Options (Case-by-Case)

  • Metformin for insulin resistance/metabolic risk patterns
  • Bupropion or bupropion/naltrexone for appetite/cravings
  • Topiramate in select scenarios with careful monitoring

Safety & Eligibility

  • We screen for contraindications (e.g., certain endocrine tumors, history of pancreatitis, pregnancy)
  • Medication interactions and mental-health considerations reviewed
  • Shared decision-making with transparent risks/benefits

Medication availability and suitability depend on your medical history, current prescriptions, labs, and insurance/self-pay factors. We individualize every plan.

Follow-Up & Monitoring

What We Track

  • Weight, waist, energy, mood, sleep quality, satiety/hunger
  • Side effects and tolerability
  • Lab markers as indicated (e.g., A1C, lipids, CMP)

When We Meet

  • More frequent early visits during titration
  • Monthly or quarterly once stable
  • Transition to maintenance with relapse-prevention tools

FAQs

Can I do medication alone?

Yes. If you prefer medication-only, we will still include practical tips to support results and monitor safety closely.

Can I avoid medication?

Absolutely. Many patients choose therapy and lifestyle care only. If goals aren’t met, we can revisit options together.

How long will I need treatment?

It varies. Some need a few months; others benefit from longer support. We define exit criteria and a maintenance plan up front.

Do you work with mental health and eating patterns?

Yes. We consider anxiety, mood, trauma history, OCD traits, binge or emotional eating, and tailor therapy or referrals accordingly.
