Medical Weight Loss

Medical Weight Loss

Medical weight loss is a treatment designed to help individuals lose weight safely and effectively through medications and lifestyle adjustments. This service can benefit those looking to reduce their overall weight and improve their health. Semaglutide (brand name OZEMPIC and WEGOVY®) and Tirzepatide (brand name MOUNJARO®and ZEPBOUND®) revolutionize how patients achieve health and wellness today.
Semaglutide or Tirzepatide can cause:
  • significant weight loss
  • improved blood pressure
  • improved blood sugar
  • improved cholesterol
Semaglutide mimics the GLP-1 hormone (released in the gut in response to eating). A feeling of satiety is created by targeting the part of the brain that regulates appetite and food intake, which curbs your appetite and signals you to feel full. While slowing food exit from the stomach, the medication allows patients to feel full for longer periods. Tirzepatide, on the other hand, is a dual agonist that targets both GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), enhancing insulin sensitivity and further reducing hunger.

By combining Semaglutide and Tirzepatide with exercise and a healthy diet, you can lose weight and improve your health. Depending on the individual’s adherence to the treatment plan and lifestyle adjustments, results can often be seen within a few weeks to a few months.

Our program features an in-depth consultation with our physician, Dr. Thomas, in addition to reviewing your medical history and reviewing your labs. Based on this information, she will determine if you are a good candidate for the program. Dr. Thomas will provide ongoing supervision and support throughout treatment to help you achieve your weight loss goals. The duration of results depends on ongoing maintenance, which can include regular follow-up appointments, medication adjustments, and continued healthy habits. Those ready to take the next step toward their weight loss goals can book an appointment at AURA.
