After your labs are reviewed, we will schedule a second visit to start medication. Our medications are administered on a weekly basis. We have the option of administering the medication for you or having a pharmacy send directly to your home for you to administer yourself. When administering the medication yourself, we will ensure you know how to accurately inject the medication and ensure you feel completely comfortable with it. This step can be combined with step 2 if you have proof of necessary labs within the last 6 months.

Once a month, we do require a visit for weight measurements and to ensure you are not having any adverse reactions. This can be quick, but it is important to have continued provider support. This can either be in person or via telemedicine. One to two times a year, we do require labs.

It is our goal to help you reach your goal weight! Our plan is to have you maintain your weight for several months and then slowly wean off the medications. We will continue step 5 for as long as it takes to reach step 6. For some, this may only take 6 months, and for others, it may take 2 years. It all depends on your current health, genetics, goals, and lifestyle.

More Information on How The Medications Work
Semaglutide Compound
Semaglutide compound is a medication that has changed the way people lose weight. Originally approved for patients with type 2 diabetes, semaglutide compound has been found to provide excellent weight loss for those without it as well. Patients often lose as much as 2-4 lbs per week. Semaglutide compound is same active ingredient as Ozempic and Wegovy. It is designed to mimic natural hormones and effects in the body, specifically GLP-1. The gut, pancreas, and nervous system all produce GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) a hormone that regulates functions like glucose levels and appetite. Semaglutide compound imitates how GLP works and how the body responds to food ingestion to support a gradual weight loss. By targeting the parts of the brain that control appetite, semaglutide helps you to feel fuller for longer. It slows digestions so you reach satiety sooner, helping to reduce your overall calorie intake.
Lipo-C (MICC)
Lipo-C (MICC) is a blend of ingredients closely related to B-vitamins. Patients report a reduction of fat in targeted areas of the body, enhanced metabolism, and increased energy. The compounds in it include methionine, inositol, choline, and cyanocobalamin (B12) (MICC). Methionine is an amino acid that supports the liver and also enhances skin, hair, and nails. Inositol is a B vitamin that is known to help with fat metabolism, cholesterol reduction, and chronic conditions such as PCOS and depression. Choline is a B vitamin that is known to help with energy and metabolism. Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) works to boost energy, metabolism, and the overall feeling of wellbeing. Lipo-C also contains pyridoxine (B6), thiamine B1, and riboflavin B2 for energy, as well as carnitine for fat metabolism.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is a nutrient that must be obtained through diet, in foods such as meat and dairy. The synthetic form of B12 (also known as cyanocobalamin) works to naturally boost energy, metabolism, and the overall feeling of wellbeing. Patients state they have improved mood, concentration, sleep, and more. By injecting the medication, you receive a quick elevation of the medication if deficient. It is often combined with other medications for weight loss.
