Medical Weight Loss
GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of medications that work with your body’s natural appetite regulation system. They slow gastric emptying, reduce hunger signals, and help regulate blood sugar — leading to meaningful, sustainable weight loss.
These medications were originally developed for type 2 diabetes but have proven highly effective for weight management. Your provider will discuss treatment options including prescription medications as appropriate for your situation.
Medications Available
Tirzepatide (Zepbound / Mounjaro)
A dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist that targets two hormones involved in appetite and blood sugar regulation. Clinical studies have shown significant weight loss results.
Semaglutide (Wegovy / Ozempic)
A GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces appetite and food intake. FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults who meet BMI criteria.
The Hormone-Weight Connection
If you’re in perimenopause or menopause and struggling with weight gain despite eating well and exercising, your hormones may be the missing piece. Declining estrogen and progesterone can shift your metabolism, change where your body stores fat, and increase insulin resistance.
Addressing hormonal balance alongside weight management medication can help your body respond the way it should. This is why our practice combines both specialties.
What to Expect
Your weight loss consultation is a 30-minute virtual visit. We’ll review your health history, current medications, weight loss history, and determine whether GLP-1 medication is appropriate for you.
If prescribed, you’ll fill your medication at a pharmacy or compounding pharmacy. Follow-up visits ensure proper dosing and monitor your progress.

Common Questions
What GLP-1 medications do you prescribe?
We work with GLP-1 receptor agonists including tirzepatide (Zepbound/Mounjaro) and semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic). Your provider will discuss which medication may be the best fit based on your health history and goals.
Can I combine weight loss medication with hormone therapy?
Yes. Hormonal imbalance during perimenopause and menopause is one of the most common — and most overlooked — contributors to weight gain. Addressing both hormones and metabolism can produce better results than addressing either alone.
Do I need to be a certain weight to qualify?
GLP-1 medications are typically prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or greater, or a BMI of 27 or greater with at least one weight-related condition. Your provider will evaluate your individual situation during your consultation.
