WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
GLP-1, GLP-2, GLP-3 MEDICAL WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Built on your measured metabolism, not a generic calorie target
Most weight plans start with an estimate: a formula based on your age, sex, height and weight. We start with a measurement. Resting metabolic rate testing shows the calories your body actually burns at rest, and DEXA body composition shows what you are made of, so a plan can protect muscle and bone while fat comes off.
WHY BODY COMPOSITION MATTERS MORE THAN WEIGHT
Two people at the same weight can carry completely different amounts of muscle, visceral fat and bone. Losing weight quickly often costs lean tissue, and lean tissue is what carries you through your seventies and eighties. That is why weight belongs inside the measurement of intrinsic capacity, the physical and mental reserve that shapes how well you’ll live at 80.
WHAT A PROGRAM CAN INCLUDE
-
Measured RMR and DEXA at baseline, then repeated to see what is actually changing
-
Metabolic labs: glucose, insulin, A1c, lipids, thyroid, liver and inflammatory markers
-
A calorie and protein target built from your measured numbers
-
Strength training through Living Strong to protect lean mass
-
Medication where clinically appropriate, discussed with its risks, costs and limits
-
Peptide therapy, supervised, including GLP-1s
-
Sleep, stress and hormone review, since both drive appetite and fat storage
-
Retesting on a schedule, so the plan changes when your body does
WHO THIS IS FOR
-
Weight that has climbed slowly through the forties and fifties
-
Dieting that used to work and no longer does
-
Metabolic syndrome, prediabetes or a family history of diabetes
-
Regain after previous weight loss, including after medication
-
Anyone who wants to lose fat without losing muscle
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you prescribe weight loss medication?
Sometimes. Eligibility depends on your history and labs, and medication is one tool inside a plan, not the plan itself.
How fast will I lose weight?
No honest program can promise a rate. Measured plans usually move slower and hold better, because they protect lean tissue.
Do I have to join the gym?
No, but strength training is the part that protects muscle, so we build it in one way or another.
Is testing included?
RMR and DEXA are separate services, and they are also included in some CogSpan tiers.
MEASURE FIRST. THEN CHANGE SOMETHING.
Book a consultation and start with real numbers instead of an estimate.
Weight management is individualized following medical evaluation. Results vary and no specific amount of weight loss is guaranteed. Medications, where prescribed, carry risks that are discussed at your visit.
