Medical
Weight Loss
If losing weight has been difficult, a medically supervised program may help you reach a healthier weight and maintain it. Medical weight loss is an increasingly popular, personalized approach — built around your body, your history, and your goals. Individual results vary.
What is Medical
Weight Loss?
Medical weight loss uses medically supervised interventions — alongside improvements to nutrition and activity — to help you lose weight and support your physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing for a more balanced lifestyle.
At Ideal Medical & Wellness, we look closely at each individual and how they respond, then build a plan tailored to you. Our programs may include GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide — sometimes called weight loss injections — as well as tesamorelin, prescribed when medically appropriate. We're a concierge program and aim for the lowest effective dose for each person, which can help limit side effects.
Programs are designed and supervised by our clinical team, with regular check-ins to support you along the way. Medical weight loss is best suited to those who are ready to commit to a tailored, sustainable plan.
What Are the Benefits of
Medical Weight Loss?
The main benefit of medical weight loss is weight loss, especially if getting to your ideal weight has been challenging. However, medical weight loss programs offer a multitude of health and confidence-boosting benefits to patients, including:
-
A Tailored Treatment
Each plan addresses the factors contributing to weight gain, with a customized approach and support for healthier eating and activity.
-
Physician-Supervised
The medications we may use (such as semaglutide, tirzepatide, and tesamorelin) are well studied, prescribed only when appropriate, and monitored by our team throughout your program.
-
A Complete Wellness Program
Weight loss is just one part. We evaluate your overall health with lab tests, medical evaluations, and ongoing support.
-
Support for Overall Wellbeing
Many people report better energy, sleep, and day-to-day comfort as they reach a healthier weight; individual results vary.
-
Long-Term Health Goals
Reaching and maintaining a healthier weight is broadly associated with better overall health. Your provider will discuss what's realistic for you.
Who is Medical
Weight Loss For?
Medical weight loss is best for people who are serious about losing weight and getting healthier. A licensed provider determines whether the program is appropriate for you.
It may be right for you if:
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher — or 27+ with conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol
- You've tried to lose weight on your own, only to regain it
- You have more than ~20 pounds to lose
- You're ready to commit to lasting, healthier habits
THE RESULTS
Everyone is different, and results with medical weight loss vary by person, starting point, and commitment. Rather than promising a set rate of loss, your provider sets realistic, individualized goals with you and monitors your progress.
We focus on steady, sustainable change and adjust your plan based on how your body responds, not on a fixed weekly number.
You'll have regular check-ins for support throughout the program. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed.
Frequently Asked Questions

- How Much Does Medical Weight Loss Cost?Cost depends on your specific program and medication, which we'll review transparently during your consultation. Flexible monthly financing is available through Cherry.

- Once I lose the weight, how can I keep it off?Lasting results come from sustainable habits, not just medication. We build nutrition, activity, and a maintenance plan into your program, with ongoing support. Individual results vary.
- How can I choose between the different medical weight loss options available?You don't choose alone — your provider recommends an approach based on your health history, goals, and how you tolerate treatment. Not every option is right for every person.
