The Weight Loss Program for most cases ranges from $25-$800 which can be paid either in weekly or monthly increments.  Medication cost can be off set by insurance if coverage is available. (see more about this in “Do you accept insurance?”). 

Our office administrators will work directly with your insurance provider to help with the process of determining if coverage is available.  Every case is unique and coverage may vary. 

In a clinical trial evaluating one of the GLP-1 medications offered through the Program, the average person lost 15% of their body weight when the medication was combined with lifestyle modifications.

Everyone responds to these medications differently, and your provider will work with you to get the best results for you and your personal goals.

 GLP-1s are a type of medication called glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists that healthcare providers regularly prescribe to weight loss patients. GLP-1s have been FDA-approved and deemed safe and effective for managing a number of conditions, including weight management and type 2 diabetes, when taken as directed. GLP-1 medications come in pre-filled injector pens and are self-administered through subcutaneous injection.GLP-1s help with weight management in two ways:

• They slow down how quickly food leaves your stomach—making you feel full faster and satiated for longer
• They talk directly to the part of your brain in charge of feeling full—helping you regulate how much you eat

When combined with the Program components, GLP-1s are an excellent tool to support healthy weight management. 

GLP-1s

When appropriate one of several GLP-1s may be prescribed. Your provider will work with you to find the right medication for your body and goals.

Semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic)

Is a medication that has emerged as a potentially effective option for weight loss in individuals who meet specific criteria. This is because it reduces appetite, slows down the emptying of the stomach, and increases feelings of fullness. It has shown promising results in clinical trials and offers a novel approach to weight management by influencing appetite and metabolism.  

Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zebound)

By targeting both receptors, Tirzepatide enhances insulin secretion and reduces glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner, contributing to improved glycemic control. In addition to its glucose-lowering effects, tirzepatide has been associated with significant weight loss.

Lipo +

B6: Promotes red blood cell production and converts food into energy.

Methionine: Helps break down sugars & carbohydrates and convert them into energy. 

Inositol: Converts food into energy. 

Choline: Cuts muscle recovery time, and helps convert fat into energy.

Cyanocobalamin

A man-made form of vitamin B12. It is used to prevent and treat low blood levels of this vitamin. Vitamin B12 helps to utilize fats and carbohydrates for energy and make new proteins.  

Sermorelin Acetate 

A "growth hormone-releasing hormone" (GHRH) that is produced naturally by the human brain to stimulate production and release of growth hormone by the pituitary gland.  Benefits include: Increase of lean body mass; Reduction of body fat through lipolysis; Increase of strength and endurance.

Phentermine

Phentermine is similar to an amphetamine. It stimulates the central nervous system (nerves and brain), which increases your heart rate and blood pressure and decreases your appetite.

Naltrexone

Helps curb appetite, enhances fat burning.
