Medical Weight Loss

What Is A Medical Weight Loss PLAN?

Even when following a diet and exercise regimen, we understand that many individuals might find weight loss to be a difficult journey. Factors such as hormonal fluctuations and various health issues can further hinder progress. At Old Mission Lifestyle Medicine, we work closely with our clients to assess their current health status and weight loss goals to create a personalized medical weight loss program. Depending on one’s specific needs, this program may include dietary and exercise recommendations, peptide and vitamin supplements, appetite control aids, and regular follow-up meetings with our nutrition specialist. We are here to offer our proven weight loss solutions and support you with patience, communication, and compassion on your path to achieving a better balance of life and sustainable health and fitness goals.

How Does A Medical Weight Loss Plan Work?

Our medical weight loss plan begins with an initial consultation with one of our team members who will perform an in-depth medical assessment. This includes discussions about your current health, medical background, weight loss goals, and any other health-related needs or issues. Based on this evaluation and further diagnostic tests, we tailor a weight loss plan to your specific requirements. This comprehensive strategy may encompass dietary and exercise objectives enhanced by additional treatments and supplements as dictated by your health status. During follow-up visits, we can fine-tune your plan and goals to maximize your chances of successfully achieving and maintaining your target weight. Some of the supplements we may prescribe include:

  • CJC-1295 growth hormone
  • AOD-9604 human growth hormone
  • MOTS-C mitochondria hormone or mitokine
  • Metformin/DHEA/sermorelin
  • GLP-1 inhibitors
