Why Patients Choose Medical Weight Loss

Many patients have tried countless diets, exercise programs, and supplements without achieving long term success.

Medical weight management helps identify and address the factors contributing to weight gain, including:

✔ Hormonal imbalances

✔ Insulin resistance

✔ Menopause and perimenopause related weight gain

✔ Slow metabolism

✔ Emotional eating patterns

✔ Chronic inflammation

✔ Difficulty losing weight despite healthy habits

✔ Weight regain after previous success

Our goal is not simply rapid weight loss. We focus on improving overall health, body composition, energy levels, and long term success.

What Is Included in Your Weight Management Consultation?

GLP-1 Weight Loss Medications

For appropriate candidates, GLP-1 medications may be incorporated into a comprehensive weight management plan.

These medications work by helping regulate appetite, improving satiety, and supporting healthier eating patterns.

Treatment options may include:

Semaglutide

Semaglutide helps reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness, making it easier to maintain a calorie deficit while preserving healthy habits.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide targets multiple metabolic pathways and has demonstrated significant weight loss outcomes in eligible patients.

Not every patient requires medication. We evaluate each individual carefully to determine the most appropriate approach.

Weight Management for Women

Many women notice changes in body composition during perimenopause and menopause.

Declining estrogen levels can contribute to:

  • Increased abdominal fat

  • Reduced muscle mass

  • Slower metabolism

  • Increased insulin resistance

  • Difficulty losing weight

As a Nurse Practitioner with expertise in hormone health and wellness, Vanessa Peixoto provides a comprehensive approach that considers the hormonal factors affecting weight loss.
