Medical Weight Loss for Lasting Results

Medical Weight Loss with GLP-1 medications combines a personalized weight loss program with the power of GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) therapy. GLP-1 medications are a class of drugs that help regulate appetite, improve blood sugar control, and support weight loss. These medications work by slowing gastric emptying, enhancing satiety, and reducing hunger, which helps patients consume fewer calories and achieve their weight loss goals. Medical Weight Loss with GLP-1 is designed to work alongside diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes to provide a comprehensive approach to sustainable weight loss.

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 may be a good candidate for medical weight loss if:

  • 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

At Ione Medical, we believe weight loss is about more than just numbers on a scale—it’s about improving your health, confidence, and quality of life. Our compassionate team will guide you every step of the way toward lasting results.

Benefits of Medical Weight Loss

Medical Weight Loss with GLP-1 medications provides a safe, effective way to manage your weight, reduce appetite, and improve overall health. This approach enhances your weight loss efforts by addressing the hormonal factors that contribute to obesity and poor blood sugar control.

Appetite Control
Medical weight loss with GLP-1 medications helps reduce hunger and promotes feelings of fullness, making it easier to stick to a lower-calorie diet and avoid overeating.
Improved Blood Sugar Regulation
GLP-1 medications, as part of medical weight loss, help improve insulin sensitivity and regulate blood sugar levels, supporting better overall health.
Sustained Weight Loss
By controlling appetite and improving metabolism, medical weight loss with GLP-1 medications facilitates long-term weight loss, leading to lasting results when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
Minimal Side Effects
Medical weight loss with GLP-1 medications typically has mild side effects, such as nausea or digestive discomfort, which are temporary and manageable with monitoring.
