HOW TO KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU
WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATION:
WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATION IS ONLY ONE PIECE OF THE PUZZLE
MEDICATIONS FOR WEIGHT LOSS
The amount of easy-to-order weight loss medications on the market today is overwhelming. But they're NOT all created equal. It may seem like these medications are the best "quick fix" option available, but what do you need to know before making that important decision for yourself? The answer is not as simple. Fortunately, that's where Weight MD's medical expertise shines!
WHY WE ONLY OFFER FDA-APPROVED MEDICATIONS
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.
​
At Weight MD, we are committed to providing our patients with the safest, most effective treatments for their weight loss journey. As part of that commitment, we exclusively use FDA-approved, brand-name GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound as part of a fully customized weight loss plan. These medications have been rigorously tested in extensive clinical trials to ensure they meet the highest standards of safety, consistency, and effectiveness.
​
We also work with your health insurance to help get your medications covered as much as possible.

ALTERNATIVES TO MEDICATION
