Medical Weight Loss
GLP-1 medications like tirzepatide and semaglutide, prescribed and monitored by a certified nurse practitioner.
How Do GLP-1 Medications Work?
GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of medications that work with your body’s natural appetite regulation system. They slow gastric emptying, reduce hunger signals, and help regulate blood sugar — leading to meaningful, sustainable weight loss.
These medications were originally developed for type 2 diabetes but have proven highly effective for weight management. Your provider will discuss treatment options including prescription medications as appropriate for your situation.
Which Medications Are Available?
Tirzepatide (Zepbound / Mounjaro)
A dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist that targets two hormones involved in appetite and blood sugar regulation. Clinical studies have shown significant weight loss results.
Semaglutide (Wegovy / Ozempic)
A GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces appetite and food intake. FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults who meet BMI criteria.
Why Are Hormones Making It Harder to Lose Weight?
Hormonal decline in both men and women can shift metabolism, increase insulin resistance, and change how your body stores fat. You may be eating well and exercising, but if your hormones are off, your body won’t respond the way it should.
Addressing hormonal balance alongside weight management medication produces better results than either approach alone. This is why our practice combines both specialties.
What Happens During Your Consultation?
Your weight loss consultation is a 30-minute virtual visit. We’ll review your health history, current medications, weight loss history, and determine whether GLP-1 medication is appropriate for you.

Have More Questions About GLP-1 Weight Loss?
What GLP-1 medications do you prescribe?
We work with GLP-1 receptor agonists including tirzepatide (Zepbound/Mounjaro) and semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic). Your provider will discuss which medication may be the best fit based on your health history and goals.
Can I combine weight loss medication with hormone therapy?
Yes. Hormonal imbalance during perimenopause and menopause is one of the most common — and most overlooked — contributors to weight gain. Addressing both hormones and metabolism can produce better results than addressing either alone.
Do I need to be a certain weight to qualify?
GLP-1 medications are typically prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or greater, or a BMI of 27 or greater with at least one weight-related condition. Your provider will evaluate your individual situation during your consultation.
