Treatment Options
Prescription Weight Loss Medications
Medication recommendations depend on your health history, labs, and goals. The options below summarize the main paths in the program.
Injectable GLP-1 option
Semaglutide
A weekly GLP-1 option for adults who want appetite support, structured dosing, and regular follow-up. Compounded medication with the same active ingredient as Ozempic® and Wegovy®.
- Once-weekly injection schedule
- Starter and step-up bundle pricing available
- Quarterly monitoring supports treatment adjustments
More detail
How it works
Semaglutide mimics a natural hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) that your body produces after eating. It works by slowing gastric emptying, signaling fullness to your brain, and reducing appetite at a hormonal level—not through willpower alone.
Care model
Treatment starts at a lower dose and can be adjusted over time based on tolerance, progress, and follow-up review.
Pricing structure
Starter bundles begin at $185 per month for months 1 through 3. Step-up bundles begin at $230 per month for months 4 through 6.
Injectable GLP-1/GIP option
Tirzepatide
A dual-pathway injectable option for adults who may need a different GLP-1 strategy with provider-guided dose changes. Compounded medication with the same active ingredient as Mounjaro® and Zepbound®.
- Weekly injectable dosing
- Structured starter and step-up bundle pricing
- Designed for ongoing review with the same provider
More detail
How it works
Tirzepatide is a dual agonist, meaning it activates both GLP-1 and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptors. This dual action creates a more comprehensive approach to weight loss and metabolic health than single-pathway medications.
Who it may fit
This path may fit adults who want a GLP-1 option tailored to their clinical picture and goals.
Pricing structure
Starter bundles begin at $275 per month for months 1 through 3. Step-up bundles begin at $375 per month for months 4 through 6.
FDA-Approved Oral Appetite Suppressant
Phentermine
Affordable FDA-approved oral medication for those who prefer tablets over injections. A proven appetite suppressant that's been used safely for decades.
- No injections required
- FDA-approved since 1959
- Cost-effective option
- EKG required before starting
More detail
How it works
Phentermine is a sympathomimetic amine that works by stimulating the release of norepinephrine in the brain. This suppresses appetite signals and increases feelings of fullness, making it significantly easier to reduce caloric intake without constant hunger.
Clinical screening
Oral treatment still depends on medical history, current health status, and provider review before you start.
Monitoring
Follow-up visits and treatment changes continue as needed, just as they do in other weight-management paths.
