What is medical weight loss?

Our medical weight-loss programs use clinically proven GLP-1 medications (such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide) to reduce appetite, steady blood sugar and support sustainable fat loss.

This isn't a fad — it's a supervised medical program led by a Family Nurse Practitioner, with dosing, monitoring and guidance tailored to your health and goals.

What to expect

Start to finish, so there are no surprises on the day.

  1. 1
    Intake

    Full history, medication review, goals and labs where needed. We check that a GLP-1 approach is medically appropriate for you.

  2. 2
    Week 1

    You start at the lowest dose and are shown exactly how to self-administer. Most people feel appetite change within days.

  3. 3
    Weeks 4–12

    Dose titrates upward only as tolerated. Side effects are managed actively — nausea is usually a dosing problem, not a dead end.

  4. 4
    Ongoing

    Monthly check-ins on weight, muscle mass and nutrition, so what you lose is fat and not lean tissue.

Before you book

What would change this plan

Standard contraindications and precautions for this treatment — the questions you should expect from anyone offering it.

  • Are you pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding? Not while you're pregnant or nursing.
  • Has anyone in your family had medullary thyroid cancer, or MEN2 (multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2)? GLP-1 medication is contraindicated with this history.
  • Have you ever had pancreatitis, or been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes? Needs a proper medical review first.
  • Have you had an eating disorder, now or in the past? Say this out loud at the consultation.

Aftercare

The short list that protects your result. You'll get this in writing too.

  • Protein first at every meal — it protects muscle
  • Hydrate: 2–3 litres a day minimises nausea
  • Strength training twice a week is non-negotiable
  • Message us early if side effects appear, don't wait a month
05

Myths, straightened out

What clients arrive believing — and what's actually true.

You just stop eating and lose everything.
Without protein and resistance work you lose muscle too, and the weight returns worse. Programming matters as much as the medication.
It's a shortcut for people who won't diet.
Obesity is metabolic and hormonal. These medications correct signalling — they don't replace effort, they make effort work.
You're on it forever.
Many clients taper once habits and body composition stabilise. That plan is built with you from month one.

How this is handled here

What people actually arrive saying, and the approach taken — not individual patient histories.

Medical weight loss$50 / visit + medication

On a GLP-1, exhausted, and losing the wrong tissue

The concern

A telehealth subscription mails the pen and stops there. Weight comes off fast, energy drops, and nobody has discussed protein, resistance training or body composition.

The approach
  • Full intake and labs before anything is prescribed
  • Dose held rather than escalated while side effects are brought under control
  • A protein target per meal, and resistance training twice a week, treated as non-negotiable
  • Monthly review of body composition — not just the number on the scale
Why

What you keep depends on what you protect. Rapid loss also deflates the mid-face, which is flagged from month one rather than discovered in the mirror.

General approach only. Individual results vary and every plan is decided at consultation.

07
