Medically supervised weight loss, led by a physician who understands obesity

It is medicine, not a membership. Your program begins with lab work, body composition analysis, and a physician's evaluation of the metabolic factors behind your weight. Then everything from nutrition to medication is prescribed and adjusted by a physician who specializes in medical weight loss.

Yes, when they are medically appropriate. GLP-1 therapy can be a powerful part of a supervised program, but it works best alongside nutrition, muscle preservation, and lifestyle support, and it is not the right choice for everyone. Your evaluation determines whether medication belongs in your plan.

In published clinical trials reported in the New England Journal of Medicine (the STEP program for semaglutide and the SURMOUNT program for tirzepatide), participants averaged roughly 15% and 20% body-weight reduction respectively over about a year or more of treatment. Your results depend on your dose, consistency, and the habits built alongside the medication. Expect gradual, steady loss over months, not a crash.

Online platforms sell a prescription; we run a medical program. Your candidacy is screened by a physician who specializes in medical weight loss, your dose is titrated to your response, your labs are monitored, and you leave with a maintenance plan, not just a vial. We tell you what others will not, including when a GLP-1 isn't the right answer.

Nausea and constipation are the most common, especially in the early weeks as your dose increases. Careful titration keeps most cases mild and temporary. Serious risks, such as pancreatitis, are exactly what our screening and follow-up schedule exist to catch. You'll always have a physician team to call, not a chatbot.

It varies, and any clinic that promises a specific number is not being honest with you. Published research shows that losing even 5–10% of body weight can meaningfully improve blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol. We set realistic, individualized targets at your evaluation and track them together.

Most patients begin to see measurable change within the first several weeks, with steady progress building over months. Clinical guidance generally considers a gradual pace of about one to two pounds per week both safer and more sustainable than rapid loss. Regular visits keep the pace honest and the plan adjusted.

Coverage varies widely by plan. Some insurers cover portions of lab work or prescribed medications, while program visits are typically self-pay. We review all costs transparently at your consultation so there are no surprises.

Physician supervision is precisely what makes this approach safe: every recommendation follows a full health history, lab work, and screening. The program is not appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and certain medical conditions or medications may change what we recommend. That is exactly what your evaluation is designed to sort out.

You move into maintenance: a deliberately planned phase, not an afterthought. Dr. Ghumman adjusts your nutrition, your medication if you are on one, and your monitoring schedule so your metabolism and habits can hold the new weight. Regain is common without a maintenance plan, which is why we build yours from day one.
