How Medical Weight Loss Works

Our approach is designed to be physician-led, personalized, and grounded in medical evaluation rather than guesswork.

Consultation & Health Review

Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation to review your health history, weight-related concerns, and goals. This allows us to understand the bigger picture and determine whether medical weight loss is appropriate for you.

Personalized Plan

Based on your consultation, your provider outlines a plan tailored to your biology and goals. This may include SEMAGLUTIDE, TIRZEPATIDE, lifestyle guidance, or a structured medical weight loss program depending on your needs and response.

Ongoing Guidance

Weight loss is not one-size-fits-all. Follow-ups and adjustments may be recommended to support progress, manage tolerance, and ensure the plan continues to align with your health goals.

Recovery and Side Effects

Most medical weight loss programs involve little to no downtime. If medication is part of your plan (such as GLP-1s), some patients experience temporary side effects during dose adjustments, commonly nausea, constipation, diarrhea, or reduced appetite.

We proactively guide you through side effect management and adjust your plan as needed. Your comfort, safety, and adherence matter.

Medical Weight Loss

Frequently Asked Questions

Traditional diets often rely on calorie restriction alone and do not address why the body resists weight loss. Medical weight loss looks at factors such as insulin resistance, hormones, metabolism, and appetite regulation. Treatment is personalized and medically supervised, which helps patients lose weight more effectively and maintain results over time.

At Longevity Health Clinic, medical weight loss may include FDA-approved GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide or tirzepatide when clinically appropriate. These medications work by regulating appetite, improving insulin sensitivity, and supporting sustainable fat loss. Your provider will determine the best option based on your health history and goals.

Yes. A medical weight loss consultation is required before starting treatment. During this visit, your provider will review your medical history, current health, medications, and weight loss goals. This ensures that any treatment plan is safe, appropriate, and tailored specifically to you.

You may be a candidate if you have struggled to lose weight despite diet and exercise, experience weight regain, or have conditions such as insulin resistance, prediabetes, or hormonal imbalances. Medical weight loss can also be appropriate for individuals seeking a physician-led, structured approach rather than self-guided programs.

Results vary from person to person. Many patients using medical weight loss treatments experience gradual, consistent weight loss over several months. Your provider will discuss realistic expectations based on your starting point, treatment plan, and overall health.

Some patients benefit from short-term treatment, while others choose longer-term or membership-based care to maintain results. Medical weight loss is not a one-size-fits-all process, and your plan may evolve as your body and goals change.

When prescribed and monitored by a physician, weight loss medications are considered safe for appropriate candidates. Your provider will review potential side effects, contraindications, and ongoing monitoring to ensure your treatment remains effective and safe.

Weight regain depends on multiple factors, including lifestyle habits, metabolic health, and long-term support. Medical weight loss focuses on sustainable strategies, not quick fixes. Many patients transition to maintenance plans or memberships to help preserve results.

Yes. Longevity Health Clinic offers weight loss memberships that may include ongoing medication management, follow-up care, and additional benefits. Membership options are designed for patients who want continued support and long-term success.

Coverage varies depending on your insurance plan and the services provided. Some lab testing may be processed through insurance, while medications and programs are typically self-pay. Our team will review pricing and options during your consultation.
