WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATION:
HOW TO KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU

There has been significant progress in the field of obesity medication treatment, and new drugs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro are playing an increasingly prominent role in the way doctors can help their patients. While these newer drugs prove valuable, we acknowledge the effectiveness and safety of other medications as well, both established and recently developed.

 

At Weight MD, we have years of experience with a range of weight loss medications, including lesser-known ones, tailored to patients intolerant to newer GLP-1a medications such as Ozempic or Mounjaro, as well as those actively avoiding injections.

 

We often use the analogy of training wheels on a bicycle when discussing medications. They provide support, instilling confidence and control throughout your transformative journey towards a healthier weight and improved well-being. As you make progress, we'll work together to determine the right time to take those training wheels off, paving the way for a smooth transition to self-driven lifestyle changes.

 

We also offer medically-managed protein meal replacements for cases where medications aren't viable. These FDA-approved, chemically balanced replacements provide comprehensive nutrition, supporting appetite control and significant weight loss – setting us apart from over-the-counter protein supplements.
