What medical weight loss can do for you, and what it can't
Medical weight loss works on the part of weight loss that willpower struggles with: appetite. The prescription weight loss medication we use helps most patients feel full sooner and stay full longer, which makes eating less feel manageable instead of miserable.
Medication is one tool in the plan. The patients who do best eat enough protein, move most days, and keep coming to their check-ins, because the check-ins are where the plan gets adjusted. Janeeh would rather you lose weight steadily and keep it off than lose it fast and watch it come back.
Why your program includes body contouring and B12
The Weight Loss membership bundles three things, because how you look and feel matters as much as the scale.
Prescription weight loss medication
Prescribed by your nurse practitioner after your consultation and labs, adjusted at your check-ins, and paused or changed if your body tells us to.
Body contouring
Your program includes Evolve body contouring by InMode. Evolve uses radiofrequency energy to tighten skin and reduce fat in areas like the stomach, arms and legs, and Evolve Transform adds muscle stimulation to firm the muscle underneath. Sessions run about 30 to 45 minutes. It shapes the areas that weight loss alone tends to leave behind.
B12
If your B12 runs low, a shot tops it up, and your provider can tell you whether that's likely for you. We include B12 for that reason, and make no weight loss claim for it. See B12 injections.
Is medical weight loss right for you?
The program tends to suit you if:
- You've made real changes to how you eat and move, and your weight still won't budge
- You want a medical provider checking your progress in person, not an app
- You can commit to at least three months, the time it takes to see how your body responds
- You care about your shape as well as your weight, and want the loose or stubborn areas treated as you go
How the program works, step by step
Consultation
Meet with Janeeh in person at the clinic or by phone. She goes through your health history, your current prescriptions, what you've already tried and what you want to change. If prescription weight loss medication isn't right for you, she'll say so at this visit.
Baseline labs
Get basic labs from your primary care provider: an A1C, a lipid panel and a kidney function test. Janeeh reviews them alongside your history before anything is prescribed.
Starting your medication
Once you're cleared, you pick up your supply to take home, or come to the clinic each week for your injection.
Check-ins
Janeeh reviews how you feel, any side effects and your progress, then adjusts your dose or plan.
After three months
At the end of the 3-month minimum, you and Janeeh decide the next step together: keep going, change the plan, or move to maintenance.
