Weight Loss Medications

Get Started

For telehealth appointments

Your first consultation with one of our weight loss medication nurse care practitioners will be by telehealth. They will ask for your most recent blood work and prescribe the best weight loss medication, which you can pick up at your pharmacy on the same day or have shipped to you. For GLP-1s, they will teach you how to inject yourself and most likely refer you to a nutrition program, such as nutrition counseling with one of our telehealth licensed dietitian nutritionists, our fast weight loss diet, or GLP-1 diet, which includes meal plans with our optional preferred shakes

If your provider is in-network with your insurance plan, your telehealth visits will be covered with only a co-pay. Your insurance may or may not cover your prescription. You will follow up monthly with your weight loss medication nurse care practitioner. If your nurse care practitioner refers you for a nutrition consultation, you will make a separate appointment with one of our dietitian nutritionists, which may also be covered by insurance. Our dietitian nutritionists are in network with Blue Cross/Blue Shield (Anthem & CareFirst), with some also accepting Cigna (Evernorth), United (Optum), and Aetna.

For weekly and monthly in-office appointment memberships

Your initial consultation will be with a weight loss medication nurse care practitioner at one of our office locations. They will ask you for your most recent blood work or draw your blood at the office for a comprehensive blood work panel, give you a B12 lipo shot, perform a body fat scan, and prescribe the best weight loss medication. You can pick it up at your pharmacy on the same day or have it shipped. Your provider will also recommend one of our nutrition programs, such as nutrition counseling with a telehealth licensed dietitian nutritionist, our fast weight loss diet, or meal plans with our optional preferred shakes.

For GLP-1, you will follow up with your weight loss medication nurse care practitioner the same week with your medication, and they will teach you how to perform weekly injections.

Follow-ups are monthly on the monthly office appointment membership or weekly on the weekly office appointment membership.

Monthly Membership: Includes a B12 shot, body fat scan, and a GLP-1 injection administered by a provider each month.

Weekly Membership: Includes a monthly B-12 shot, plus weekly body fat scans and GLP-1 injections. Your provider will also recommend the annual blood tests for comprehensive care.

Weight Loss Meal Plans

The synergy between our weight loss meal plans and weight loss medications offers a powerful approach to weight management. This combination addresses lifestyle factors and biological mechanisms contributing to weight gain, and patients are more likely to lose weight and more fat than muscle on weight loss medications when they follow a healthy diet plan with the right amount of calories and macronutrients.

We recommend 2 nutrition support meal plans to support patients on weight loss medications, including our fast weight loss program, jump-start weight loss kit, and GLP-1 diet guide. You can meet with one of our preferred dietitian nutritionists covered by insurance for more assistance and recommendations.

Fast Weight Loss Diet

The Fast Weight Loss Diet includes a jump-start weight loss kit with portion-sized packaged high protein foods shipped to your home. We have offered this fast weight loss diet with meal replacements in our practice for years with amazing results. Patients on this plan lose 13 to 20 pounds in the first month, 7 to 15 in the second month, and 1 to 2 pounds a week thereafter.

Signature GLP-1 Diet Guide Meal Plan

Our Signature GLP-1 Diet Guide Meal Plan provides meal plans that are high in protein and moderate in carbohydrates and fat for optimal fat loss. Patients on this plan lose about 1 to 2 pounds a week. The plan also features optional protein shakes to help ensure protein needs are met.

For more nutrition assistance and recommendations, we recommend meeting with one of our dietitian nutritionists covered by insurance.

Protein Shakes and Supplements

For optimal health, we recommend protein shakes and electrolytes to maintain lean muscle while losing fat, plus pharmaceutical-grade supplements for enhanced wellness. STELLAR LABS® Whey Protein Shakes are available in chocolate, vanilla, and caramel. Patients on GLP-1 medications find these a good option because they are a quick, high-protein option and low-FODMAP, meaning they do not contain carbohydrates that will cause gas and bloating.

These shakes are also gluten-free and non-GMO, with 24 grams of protein and less than 5 grams of carbohydrates. They have no artificial flavors, colors, or additives, and less than 3 grams of sugar flavored with only the best ingredients, sweetened to perfection with Stevia, a low-calorie, natural sweetener.

STELLAR LABS® Raw Vegan Plant Shakes are available in chocolate and vanilla. They are high-protein and low-FODMAP, gluten-free and non-GMO, with 20-21 grams of protein and less than 7 grams of carbohydrates. There are no artificial flavors, colors, or additives, and less than 4 grams of sugar. They are also sweetened with Stevia. For personalized guidance, meet with one of our insurance-covered dietitian nutritionists.

Pricing

There is an initial cost for an evaluation, blood work, and an EKG administered and read by our medical provider. There is a monthly cost for GLP-1 medications, which are provided on the same day. Monthly visits also include a B12 or lipotropic shot, a meeting with our medical provider, a weight check, and an STYKU body fat scan. We provide a meal plan and recommend weekly nutrition counseling visits with our dietitian nutritionist for a more customized approach during the first month and then monthly, covered by most major insurance plans.
