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
Insulin resistance, thyroid function, cortisol, your sleep and your hormone status decide what your body does with what you eat, and none of them respond to effort. Establishing which of them is operating is what shapes your care plan and how your therapy is dosed. Starting without that picture means treating a number rather than a person.
This is for you if you have made real changes to your food and training without the result those changes should produce, and you want the metabolic driver identified rather than worked around. It is not right as medication alone, and pregnancy, certain thyroid cancers and pancreatic histories rule it out, so we review yours before prescribing.
Assessment covers fasting insulin and HOMA-IR, a measure of how hard your body is working to keep blood sugar normal, plus full thyroid function, cortisol, inflammation and hormone status. From there: food built around protein and carbohydrate timing, resistance training with Zone 2 conditioning, and sleep and stress correction. Your medication is individualized, with GLP-1 or GIP therapy dosed to you and adjusted as you respond.
Your care plan covers consultation time, coaching and clinical decision-making. Diagnostics and medication are arranged separately. Care runs in Overland Park or by telehealth across Kansas and Missouri. Medication is never your whole plan here, because regain is the predictable outcome when nothing underneath has changed.
Common questions
The ones we are asked most about Medical Weight Loss.
That depends what we find and how much of it corrects. The plan is built so your food, training, sleep and metabolic health take over more of the work. Stopping without those in place usually means regain.
A GLP-1 works on one pathway, a dual GLP-1 and GIP therapy works on two, and the second tends to do more. Which fits you depends on your history, your metabolic picture and how you respond, and we revisit it as you go.
It is individualized rather than protocol-driven. Your history, your response and how you tolerate the therapy set the dose, and it is adjusted as you go rather than fixed at the start.
Conditions treated here
Metabolic Disorders
Glucose and HbA1c move last, so we start with fasting insulin and HOMA-IR and find metabolic dysfunction while correcting it is still realistic.
