Weight Management Protocol
Our integrative weight management program includes a tailored approach for both the mind and body which emphasizes kindness and dignity throughout this journey of weight loss. It includes initial medical lab work, weekly to monthly psychotherapy, incorporation of natural remedies, and access to GLP-1 weight loss medications directly from the compounding pharmacy or manufacturer by prescription. This formulation includes Glycine and B12 to preserve integrity of tissue. In addition, key nutritional supplements are recommended to preserve muscle mass, brain function, skin elasticity and hair retention.
*We can also prescribe directly from LillyDirect for Zepbound (Tirzepatide) Vials and self injectable Pens. If you opt to enroll in a subscription, some individuals may be eligible for manufacturer discount.
Weight loss can be achieved by actively managing emotions around weight gain, self-image, and the reasons we self soothe with food to nourish these emotions. Not engaging the emotional relationship with food might lead one to feelings of guilt and loss of control. Moreover, your environment can shift your metabolism so that it doesn't process nutrients efficiently. This is further impacted by lifestyle choices, worry, lack of energy, hormones, and the types of foods one eats.
