Medical Weight Loss

Medical weight loss is a specialized, provider-supervised program that goes beyond simple diet and exercise advice to manage obesity and achieve sustainable weight reduction. At Elite Medical Solutions, our programs involve a comprehensive approach, including clinical assessments, customized nutrition and activity plans, and the strategic use of prescription medications to manage appetite and metabolic health. Key therapeutic agents used in our programs include Semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy) and Tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Mounjaro and Zepbound). These revolutionary medications, administered via injection, work by mimicking natural hormones (GLP-1 receptor agonists, and for Tirzepatide, a GIP receptor agonist as well) to enhance feelings of fullness, slow gastric emptying, and improve insulin sensitivity, leading to significant and sustained weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes.

Sustainable Weight Loss:

Medical supervision ensures a scientifically sound approach, leading to significant, consistent, and long-term weight reduction that is often difficult to achieve through diet and exercise alone.

Customized and Safe:

Programs are tailored to your specific health profile, medical history, and metabolic needs, ensuring the treatment plan (including medication dosages like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide) is safe and maximally effective for you.

Metabolic Health Improvement:

Prescription medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide directly address underlying metabolic issues by improving blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity, often leading to better overall health markers.

Effective Appetite Control:

These programs utilize medications that powerfully reduce appetite, enhance feelings of fullness, and curb cravings, making adherence to a reduced-calorie diet much easier.

Reduced Health Risks:

Achieving a healthy weight through a supervised program significantly lowers the risk of developing weight-related health conditions, such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.

Accountability and Support:

Having regular check-ins and guidance from medical professionals provides the accountability, education, and support necessary to navigate challenges and maintain healthy habits long after weight loss is achieved.

Who is a candidate, and who is not

Candidates typically have a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related health condition, or a BMI of 30 or higher. These medications are not appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2, or with a history of pancreatitis. Sarina Howard, PA-C, confirms whether you are a candidate at your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Results vary, but many patients achieve significant, sustained weight loss, often seeing a reduction of 15% to 25% or more of their initial body weight over 6 to 18 months, especially with the use of medications like Tirzepatide. The duration of the program is customized to your needs and goals, often involving a maintenance phase after the initial weight loss is achieved.

While highly effective for many, these medications are not suitable for everyone. They are generally prescribed for individuals with a BMI over a certain threshold or those with weight-related health conditions. They are contraindicated for patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). We determine your suitability during a comprehensive medical assessment.
