Medical Weight Loss

If you're finding it difficult to lose weight, you're not alone.  one out of every three adults is classified as overweight or obese. Beyond impacting your self-confidence, carrying excess weight can elevate your risk for heart disease and various other chronic health issues.

​

Losing weight is a challenging process, and it can be frustrating when the results don't match your efforts. Numerous factors influence your weight, including existing medical conditions, thyroid function, stress levels, hormones, and genetics. For instance, if you're not managing stress and sleep effectively, your cortisol levels may become imbalanced. Hormonal changes during menopause can also make weight loss feel nearly impossible. Additionally, eating either too much or too little can prevent you from optimizing your metabolism.

​

That's where we come in. Our approach to weight management is comprehensive, focusing on Medical Weight Loss through the use of medications, lifestyle changes, nutritional guidance, and consistent support with flexible weigh-ins and office visits. We assess your bloodwork and symptoms to determine if any medical conditions or hormonal imbalances, such as thyroid issues or diabetes, are contributing to your weight gain.

​

We offer a variety of medications and programs designed to support you on your weight loss journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Overview of Treatment
    Each treatment plan is customized to fit the individual’s needs, considering symptoms, testosterone levels, fertility goals, estrogen balance, and other relevant factors. These will be thoroughly discussed during your initial consultation and follow-up visits. Available treatment options include testosterone replacement therapy, hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) monotherapy, clomiphene citrate (Clomid), as well as guidance on nutrition and exercise. Before starting any treatment, the potential risks and benefits of each method for optimizing testosterone will be clearly explained. Depending on your specific situation, additional treatments may accompany TRT, such as injectable hCG, DHEA, B12 injections, or anastrozole to regulate estrogen levels.
  • Testosterone Replacement Therapy
    For most patients, testosterone replacement therapy is the preferred method of treatment. It helps bring testosterone levels back to an optimal range, which can alleviate many of the typical symptoms associated with aging in men. Testosterone can be delivered through injections or topical creams, depending on the patient's preferences, budget, and treatment goals. Injections are often administered in the clinic until the patient feels comfortable performing them at home. We recommend twice-weekly subcutaneous injections, usually administered into the abdominal area. This process is simple and generally painless. Most men are able to learn the technique during their first visit. During therapy, regular lab tests will be conducted to monitor progress and ensure safety. Follow-up appointments are scheduled every three months until hormone levels are stabilized. We also monitor for any potential side effects, such as elevated estrogen levels, which can occur in some men. By addressing such issues early on, we can fine-tune the treatment and help you feel like yourself again!
  • Signs of Low Testosterone May Include:
    - Persistent tiredness - Lack of motivation (most common) - Reduced interest in sex - Lowered sexual performance - Weaker erections - Difficulty concentrating or mental fog - Feelings of depression - Weight gain and higher body fat levels - Struggles with muscle growth and gym progress - Prolonged recovery after exercise - Decreased physical strength
  • What is Testosterone?
    Testosterone is a key hormone in the body, primarily responsible for the development of male sexual traits. It plays a crucial role in enhancing libido, safeguarding against illnesses, boosting muscle growth and strength, preserving bone density, enhancing mental clarity, and lifting mood, among other benefits. This hormone is essential for maintaining a man’s overall health, vitality, sexual performance, and drive throughout his lifetime.
  • How much weight can I expect to lose?
    The amount of weight you lose largely depends on your commitment! Injectable weight loss medications, when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise, have been shown to help people lose 15-20% of their body weight. Typically, individuals can expect to shed about 1-2 pounds per week with consistent effort.
  • Are these medications safe to use?
    Yes, these medications are considered safe and are provided by licensed compounding pharmacies that are monitored by the FDA. There are a few specific conditions that may make some medications unsuitable for certain people, but we'll discuss these during your initial consultation to ensure they're a good option for you.
  • Can I use my insurance to cover costs?
    While you can use insurance for lab tests, most insurance plans do not cover the cost of these medications, which can be quite expensive even with coverage. By opting for a compounding pharmacy, the cost is significantly reduced—by about two-thirds! For example, a single month of Wegovy (semaglutide) from a retail pharmacy can cost over $1,500.
  • Will I lose muscle along with fat?
    Rapid weight loss can sometimes result in muscle loss, but this can be prevented by incorporating resistance or strength training into your routine. With the right approach, you can preserve lean muscle mass.
  • What about potential side effects?
    Side effects can occur, with the most common being gastrointestinal issues like nausea, acid reflux, and constipation. However, there are strategies to minimize these side effects, which we'll go over during your consultation.

Testosterone Replacement

Do you long for the youthful energy and strength of your twenties and thirties? As men age, testosterone production often declines significantly. By the time you reach your 40s and 50s, your testosterone levels may be half of what they once were. Fortunately, Modern Metabolic offers treatments to help you feel revitalized and youthful again! With testosterone replacement therapy, you can restore your testosterone levels to those of your younger years.

  • Improved body composition

  • Increased energy levels and improved sleep quality

  • Reduction in feelings of anxiety, depression, and mood fluctuations

  • Boosted self-assurance
