Medical weight loss is a physician-supervised program designed to help patients lose weight safely, effectively, and sustainably. Unlike fad diets or quick fixes, our approach at Ione Medical is rooted in science and tailored to your unique body, health history, and goals. Our medical providers use evidence-based strategies to support long-term lifestyle changes and improve overall well-being.
How Medical Weight Loss Works
At your first visit, we begin with a comprehensive medical evaluation. This includes a review of your health history, current medications, lifestyle habits, and lab testing if needed. Using this information, we create a personalized plan that may include:
- Prescription weight loss medications (such as GLP-1 agonists or appetite suppressants, when medically appropriate)
- Nutritional guidance and meal planning
- Behavioral and lifestyle coaching to build sustainable habits
- Regular follow-up visits to monitor progress and make adjustments
Our goal is to address the root causes of weight gain—such as hormonal imbalances, metabolic issues, or emotional triggers—and provide continuous support throughout your journey.
Who Is a Good Candidate?

- You have a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related health concerns (such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol), or a BMI over 30
- You have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone
- You are looking for a supervised, medically safe way to lose weight
- You are ready to commit to a healthier lifestyle with professional support
