Experienced providers with proven results
Do you know what would really be refreshing? A medical weight loss program that actually works with proven results!
At Wellness District, our physician-monitored and directed weight loss program features the latest medical information, research, and prescription medications. We’re sure you’ve found out by now, there is no single technique for sustained weight loss.
What you need is a multi-faceted, researched and customized individualized medical weight loss plan exclusively for you. This will help you achieve sustainable, long-term weight loss results.
How it works
Phases of the Wellness District Medical Weight Loss Process
Seamlessly adaptable to your own life, as well as the lives of your loved ones. Here’s what to expect:
1. Initial Visit
2. Active Weight Loss Phase
During the active weight loss phase of our nutritional program, a provider will meet with you once a month to evaluate and discuss your progress. They will also manage the medications you are taking through Medical Weight Loss and ensure that your body stays in the optimal state for weight loss. These visits will last approximately 30-45 minutes.
The length of each patient’s active weight loss phase will vary in length, as weight loss goals range from 5 lbs to over 200 lbs.
What you discuss at your appointment will be completely different from what another patient discusses at their appointment. We treat overweight and obesity as a disease and our patients as individuals. That’s why no two patients will experience the exact same treatment.
3. Transitional Weight Maintenance Phase
You will begin the transitional weight maintenance phase once you have achieved your goal of a healthy weight that you feel comfortable maintaining. During the transitional phase, you will start scheduling your visits further and further apart. In addition, the provider will instruct you on how to start transitioning off your medications.
4. Weight Maintenance
During the weight maintenance phase, you no longer have regularly scheduled visits at Wellness District Medical Weight Loss. You will be given an individualized CAP plan, which is explained in detail at your initial visit.
Now you are able to maintain your weight and live a healthy lifestyle without the ongoing assistance of Wellness District Medical Weight Loss. However, you are a patient for life and we are always here for you.
At Wellness District Medical Weight Loss, your journey is our shared endeavor. Your triumph, our mutual reward. Let’s embark on this transformative path together!
Medications
GLP-1's, Semaglutide, Phentermine and more
1. Semaglutide
Description: Semaglutide is a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist originally developed for treating type 2 diabetes. It mimics a hormone that regulates appetite and glucose metabolism.
How it Helps with Weight Loss: It helps with weight loss by reducing appetite and food intake. It also slows gastric emptying, which contributes to increased feelings of fullness and decreased hunger.
2. Phentermine
Description: Phentermine is an appetite suppressant and a stimulant similar to an amphetamine. It is used as a short-term treatment for obesity.
How it Helps with Weight Loss: It works by stimulating the central nervous system, which increases heart rate and blood pressure and decreases appetite, helping individuals consume fewer calories.
3. Metformin
Description: Metformin is a medication primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing glucose production in the liver.
How it Helps with Weight Loss: It can lead to modest weight loss in some people by reducing insulin resistance, which may help decrease hunger and reduce fat accumulation.
4. Diethylpropion
Description: Diethylpropion is an appetite suppressant used to assist with short-term management of obesity.
How it Helps with Weight Loss: It works similarly to phentermine by stimulating the central nervous system, which can reduce appetite and overall calorie intake.
5. 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)
Description: 5-HTP is a naturally occurring amino acid and chemical precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation.
How it Helps with Weight Loss: It may aid weight loss by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, which can help reduce appetite and improve mood, potentially leading to lower food intake.
6. Chromium Polynicotinate
Description: Chromium polynicotinate is a supplement form of chromium combined with niacin (vitamin B3). Chromium is a trace mineral important for glucose metabolism.
How it Helps with Weight Loss: It may help with weight loss by improving insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, potentially reducing cravings and supporting a healthy metabolism.
hear from our patients
I was skeptical of another weight loss program but was desperate to lose weight...
Losing weight at an older age is not as easy as it was when I was younger. Add in the fact I am going through menopause and the weight just would not come off. This is not a magic pill you take, it takes work but the guidance they give you and the meds prescribed did the trick! I am down 33 pounds!! So happy I decided to take a chance.
