About Medical Weight Loss
Medical weight loss programs offer a physician-supervised approach to weight management. This may include nutrition guidance, lifestyle planning, sleep and stress discussion, lab review, medication review when clinically appropriate, and ongoing monitoring. Wegovy or Zepbound may be discussed during consultation when clinically appropriate. Medication is not required, prescriptions are typically filled through outside pharmacies when appropriate, and outcomes vary by medical history, access, adherence, and follow-up.
