What is medical weight loss?

Medical weight loss offers a personalized, science-backed approach to help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight, guided by the experienced team at Doctors Weight Loss. Unlike fad diets or quick fixes, these programs are rooted in medical research and tailored to your unique needs and goals.

They typically combine nutritional counseling, exercise guidance, behavior modification, and, when appropriate, prescription medications or minimally invasive procedures. Medical weight loss can support safe, sustainable weight reduction while also lowering your risk of conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.

Doctors Weight Loss takes it a step further with targeted medical treatments designed to enhance your results. Your customized plan may include:

• Prescription appetite suppressants (like Phentermine)
• Semaglutide and Tirzepatide for metabolic support
• B-12 and B-6 vitamin injections to boost energy and metabolism
• Lipotropic supplements to promote fat breakdown and support liver health

These evidence-based tools are combined with lifestyle coaching to help you lose weight effectively—and keep it off.

When should someone consider medical weight loss?

If you've struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone—or if you have weight-related health concerns like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure—a medical weight loss program can offer a safe, supportive solution. It's especially recommended for individuals with a BMI over 30 or over 27 with comorbidities.

You might also benefit if you experience:

• Emotional or stress eating
• Trouble maintaining weight loss
• Plateaus despite consistent effort
