Medical Weight Loss
Personalized medical weight loss combining GLP-1 and GIP therapies with evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle strategies to improve metabolic health and support sustainable results.
Medical Weight Loss, in detail
Your weight is affected by more than diet and exercise. Insulin resistance, thyroid function, cortisol, sleep, and hormone levels all affect how your body stores and burns fat. At EvoHealth, we check these first so your plan, and any medication, is based on what is actually going on in your body.
This is for you if you have made real changes to how you eat and exercise but are not seeing the results you expected, and you want to find out why. It is not a medication-only program. Some conditions, including pregnancy, certain thyroid cancers, and certain pancreatic conditions, mean this treatment is not safe for you. We review your health history before prescribing anything.
Your assessment includes fasting insulin and HOMA-IR, which shows how hard your body is working to keep blood sugar normal, along with full thyroid function, cortisol, inflammation, and hormone levels. From there, we build a plan that includes protein-focused nutrition with carbohydrate timing, strength training and Zone 2 cardio, and support for sleep and stress. If medication is right for you, GLP-1 or GIP therapy is dosed to your needs and adjusted as you respond.
Your care plan includes consultations, coaching, and ongoing medical decision-making. Lab testing and medication are arranged separately. Care is available in person in Overland Park or by telehealth across Kansas and Missouri. Medication is only one part of your plan, because weight often returns when the underlying causes have not been addressed.
Common questions
The ones we are asked most about Medical Weight Loss.
Not necessarily. It depends on what we find and how your body responds. Your plan is designed so that nutrition, exercise, sleep, and better metabolic health take on more of the work over time. Stopping medication before those are in place often leads to weight regain.
GLP-1 medications work on one hormone pathway that affects appetite and blood sugar. Dual GLP-1 and GIP medications work on two pathways and often have a stronger effect. The right choice depends on your health history, your metabolic results, and how you respond, and we review it as you go.
Your dose is based on you, not a standard protocol. We look at your history, how you respond, and how well you tolerate the medication, then adjust your dose over time.
Conditions treated here
Metabolic Disorders
Standard blood sugar tests change late. We start with fasting insulin and HOMA-IR to find metabolic problems early, when they are easier to correct.
