We do not limit our patients to the medications we sell. We treat with a broad range of medications including GLP-1s, Contrave, Phentermine, Topiramate, Qsymia, Orlistat, and Vyvanse. In addition we treat with meds for depression, anxiety, and insomnia so that you feel better and can be more active, burning calories the natural way. Treating depression and anxiety can help diminish emotional eating. Sufficient sleep is also important because it decreases the level of the hormone ghrelin and raises the level the hormone leptin. Ghrelin makes you feel more hungry and Leptin increases your sense of being full. Decreasing Ghrelin is one of the most important mechanisms of action of the GLP-1s.

We help you to loose weight without losing muscle mass (especially common on GLP-1s without the appropriate supervision). With us you may end up being more fit, more active, and in the maintenance phase may be able to get off of weight loss medications, decrease their usage, or use less expensive ones.

We help you to develop healthy eating habits which may also ultimately help you to get off of weight loss medications or use lower doses.

For many people exercise can decrease hunger by decreasing the hunger hormone Ghrelin.

Many people prematurely terminate treatment due to the expense. In some cases we may be able to accept insurance for ongoing treatment into the maintenance phase.

Without the measures we take, if you are only treated with GLP-1s it would be more likely that you will be on these very expensive medications, possibly indefinitely. Research and experience show that rapid weight gain can occur when GLP-1s are stopped. This may be because GIP-1s suppress hunger and make you feel full sooner. When they are stopped, you will likely get more hungry, and eat more unless you have developed healthy habits like good nutrition and exercise.
