Medication Assisted Weight Management Program

In this plan, we incorporate anti-obesity medications.  These medications can be a safe and effective tool when combined with our comprehensive lifestyle modification counseling, which includes personalized nutrition, behavior changes and exercise recommendation.  Examples of FDA-approved medications that are used include GLP-1 agonists such as Wegovy, Zepbound and Saxenda.  Oral anti-obesity medications such as  Qsymia, Contrave, Metformin, Topiramate, Phentermine and Diethylpropion may also be very helpful for regulation of appetite signaling.  

Using anti-obesity medications in conjunction with a physician- supervised nutritional plan has been shown to result in significantly greater weight loss than either diet or medication alone. These medications also help patients maintain their weight loss, making them a valuable long-term solution for weight management.  

It is important to note that medication alone will not lead to sustained weight loss.  Regular follow-up visits for medical monitoring, accountability and ongoing support are essential for success.  A detailed evaluation performed by one of our obesity medicine physician specialists will ensure an individualized approach tailored to your needs.
