Medical Weight Loss Program
HOW DOES A CUSTOMIZED WEIGHT LOSS PLAN WORK?
After a full medical assessment and physical, our team will develop a customized weight loss strategy for you. They will also discuss the existing state of your health, medical history, and weight goals to name your requirements and objectives. Afterward, we will tailor a customized weight loss plan that could comprise of both a nutrition and exercise program, including vitamins and other procedures. We offer two great weight-loss injection options:
- Semaglutide: Initially formulated to help individuals with type 2 diabetes regulate blood sugar levels, semaglutide injections received FDA approval for chronic weight management in 2021. By triggering the brain's response of feeling full or satisfied, these injections can reduce hunger and food cravings. Unlike other weight loss medications, semaglutide does not cause jitters, a racing heart, or sleep issues. Semaglutide injections are typically administered once a week under the skin, usually in the stomach, thighs, or upper arms. Your treatment plan may vary, but it is common for patients to undergo injections for at least 5 – 6 months.
- Tirzepatide: A once-weekly injectable peptide, tirzepatide was initially used as a treatment to help lower blood sugar. With FDA approval, tirzepatide also helps with weight loss in a few ways by signaling the brain that you're full — so you eat less. It also slows digestion, so you feel full longer.
As a part of your follow-up appointments, any needed adjustments can be shaped to your goals, and at the finalization of your plan, our team will ensure you are situated for success to stay at the new ideal weight.

Nutritional counseling is a great first step toward weight loss
While there are many different approaches to weight loss, they all depend on consuming fewer calories than your body burns for energy. When you reduce calories, you face the challenge of getting all the nutrients you need from less food. That’s why the nutrition specialists at Southwest Family Medicine Associates have such essential roles in your weight loss success.
Your weight loss program begins with a complete nutrition assessment and medical history, followed by a discussion about your weight loss goals, lifestyle, and how you’ve tried to lose weight in the past. Every weight loss program is individualized to serve your unique needs and to realistically fit your lifestyle. The nutritionists understand that losing weight is a complex challenge, so they work with you to find an appropriate solution.
Long-term maintenance
No matter how you lose weight, keeping it off depends on learning about portion control and choosing healthy foods. On this plan, you learn everything you need to know to maintain your weight loss. Cheri, a clinical nutritionist, works with you to help you modify your diet, with small attainable weekly goals that result in slow, sustainable weight loss.
hCG weight loss protocol
This is a very-low-calorie diet plus treatment with oral or injected human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which facilitates rapid weight loss and promotes fat burning.
Skinny Shots / Lipotropic
Skinny Shots are a mixture of B vitamins, amino acids, and lipotropic agents. They are used to help patients with generalized weight loss by boosting energy and metabolism and increasing removal of fat from the body. The Skinny shot is a special formula of liver supporting nutrients that can help with energy, fat metabolism, and hormone balance, which are all key liver functions.
Lipotropic injections
This treatment contains natural substances that help increase metabolism and burn more calories.
Natural supplements
Meal replacements
These products reduce calorie intake while providing balanced nutrition with healthy ingredients. PaleoMeal® from Designs for Health is a nutrient-rich powdered meal replacement designed to help promote optimal intake of protein, fats, and carbohydrates. It is different from over-the-counter protein meal replacements because it’s sweetened with stevia, so there is no increased sugar. This is a cost-effective program that allows you to lose weight in a controlled, consistent manner.
Herbal supplements
These improve nutrition and boost metabolism. Two supplements to help with natural weight loss that may be incorporated into your program are:
- EndoTrimTM for fat loss, controlling appetite and cravings, balancing blood sugar, and improving metabolism; you should take it with food
- Thermo-EFxTM helps increase your body’s metabolism without causing any stimulant-associated side effects; it contains bitter orange extract with green tea extract (decaffeinated)
Detox cleansing program
These individualized plans use elimination diets, nutritional supplements, and cleansing shakes to alleviate fatigue, stress, allergies, headaches, and other long-standing problems.
