As with all of our services, our weight loss plans are based on each individual’s health status and goals. Your personalized plan is designed to assist you in succeeding not only in losing weight but keeping it off. More importantly, our focus is on optimal health not just weight loss.
Our provider has been successfully prescribing semaglutide as part of a weight loss program since it’s approval for weight loss in 2021. We are also prescribing tirzepatide at this time. We are not a Med Spa or clinic adding on this service just to make quick money on the newest trend. We truly understand the benefits and know how to manage the side effects of semaglutide and tirzepatide. We have relationships with several reputable compounding pharmacies that provide the product for us. If you want a comprehensive program with a provider dedicated to your success please give us a call for a free consultation. Our pricing is transparent with no hidden costs.
SEMAGLUTIDE WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM:
Wegovy whose main ingredient is semaglutide is a once weekly injection. It was FDA approved for weight loss in June 2021 for chronic weight management in individuals with a BMI greater than 30 or a BMI greater than 27 with at least one weight-related comorbidity. The cost of the name brand Wegovy is $1,300 to $1,400 a month and is often not covered by insurance. Compounded semaglutide offers an affordable option.

After the initial visit, the per vial + office visit cost is as follows:
5 mg vial with visit and supplies $270
7.5 mg vial with visit and supplies $345

TIRZEPATIDE WITH B12:
Recently approved for weight loss under the brand name Zepbound, Tirzepatide is getting more attention as an effective weight loss medication working as both a GLP 1 and GIP. Tirzepatide is considered more effective and and better tolerated than semaglutide.

I have been 230 pounds and I have been at my lowest 140 pounds, so when I say I know about the struggles with weight loss- I do. It seems like I’ve been on a diet since I was 14 years old. I am now almost 50. The last medically supervised weight loss program I tried did not work (and believe me I tried and followed all the instructions). I took all the oral medications, bought the shakes and the bars, and went into the office weekly to weigh in. All to be disappointed- I gained a 1/2 pound despite my willpower. (March 3021)
The semaglutide weight loss program is a game changer for people like me. I have lost 22 pounds in 10 weeks. I had no expectations of losing this weight before summer and I am in shock, the number on the scale keeps going down and finally matches my hard work! I don’t follow a special “diet”, I don’t have to go into the office weekly and I don’t buy any shakes or special meals. I take a shot once a week, eat healthy, I am conscious of what I eat and the portion size. (Calories in versus calories out as Christine says) I stay hydrated and have an active lifestyle (Pilates). And my body now responds the way it was intended to. This honestly was the easiest way to lose weight. I feel like my metabolism has been reset and my body is using insulin/glucose and metabolizing it correctly! I can’t thank Christine enough for helping me! (March 2021)
