A clinically supervised pathway pairing GLP-1 medication (semaglutide or tirzepatide, prescribed when appropriate for your full medical picture) with ongoing oversight, periodic labs, and nutrition and lifestyle guidance. Eligibility, dose, and continuation are decisions your medical team makes with you. We won't prescribe if it's not the right path.
Side effects matter and we don't bury them. Most clients have some GI effects (nausea, slower stomach emptying) in the first few weeks, which usually settle as the body adjusts. We adjust the dose as needed and watch for the less common, more serious effects throughout.

The consultation is $50 and medication pricing is reviewed there. Patients come from Yorktown, Newport News and James City County.
Candidacy is confirmed at your $50 consultation. Medication pricing is reviewed there, before any commitment.
GLP-1 medicines copy a hormone your gut releases after eating, which tells your brain you're full. Here is what the landmark trials found, each against placebo.
The medicine acts like GLP-1, a hormone released after meals that signals the brain you've had enough.
Food noise drops and you feel full sooner and for longer, so eating less doesn't feel like a fight.
Food leaves the stomach more slowly, which helps fullness last; it's also why early nausea can happen.
We start low and step up with monthly check-ins, matching the pace to how you feel.
Trial results are averages across large groups and included lifestyle support; individual results vary. Candidacy, medication and dose are decided at your consultation. Sources: Wilding et al., STEP-1, NEJM 2021, Jastreboff et al., SURMOUNT-1, NEJM 2022.
