Why Medical Weight Loss Is Different—and More Effective

 

Most commercial weight loss programs treat everyone the same. But your body, history, metabolism, and lifestyle are unique. At MRHS, we take all of that into account to create a safe, sustainable path forward—custom-tailored to you.

​

Unlike generic diet apps or group programs, our medical weight loss services include:

​

• Clinical assessments and lab testing

• Supervision by a licensed medical provider

• A plan tailored to your metabolic health, hormone levels, and goals

• Ongoing one-on-one support, coaching, and medication oversight

• Evidence-based nutrition, fitness, and behavior modification tools
   

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about building a better relationship with your health, step by step.

 

What to Expect: Your Weight Loss Journey at MRHS

 

We believe in transparency, support, and structure. Here's what your experience will look like when you begin a medical weight loss program at MRHS.

 

Step 1: Initial Consultation & Health Assessment

 

Your first visit is all about understanding you. We’ll begin with a 360-degree look at your medical history, lifestyle, and goals. Your consultation includes:

​

• A review of your personal and family medical history

• Weight and BMI evaluation

• Vital signs and cardiovascular risk assessment

• Review of previous weight loss efforts, barriers, and successes

• Discussion of eating patterns, physical activity, sleep, stress, and emotional health

• Lab work to assess thyroid function, cholesterol, insulin resistance, inflammation markers, and liver/kidney function
   

By identifying why weight loss has been difficult in the past, we can design a smarter plan going forward.

 

Step 2: Customized Medical Weight Loss Plan

 

Your provider will develop a tailored plan that works with your biology, not against it. This may include:

​

🔹 Nutrition Guidance

 

Forget rigid rules and calorie obsession. We help you establish a balanced eating plan that supports fat loss while preserving energy, muscle, and quality of life. Whether you're interested in low-carb, Mediterranean, intermittent fasting, or need culturally sensitive meal ideas—we'll adapt your plan to your reality.

​

🔹 Activity Strategy

 

We work with your starting point. Whether you're sedentary, recovering from injury, or already active but stuck at a plateau, our team provides realistic movement plans that promote metabolic health and prevent injury. Walking, strength training, yoga, or clinical exercise referrals—we’ll help you find what works.

​

🔹 Weight Loss Medications

 

For patients who qualify, we may prescribe FDA-approved appetite suppressants or hormone-regulating medications that can make weight loss more achievable. Options may include:

​

• GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) or liraglutide (Saxenda)

• Phentermine or Phentermine/Topiramate

• Bupropion/Naltrexone (Contrave)

• Metformin (especially in PCOS or insulin resistance)
   

These medications are not “magic pills”, but when used alongside a well-designed plan, they can enhance fat loss, reduce cravings, and improve insulin sensitivity.

​

🔹 Behavioral & Habit Support

 

Weight loss isn’t just physical—it’s psychological. Our team helps you identify emotional triggers, build healthy habits, and stay accountable. We can refer you to licensed therapists if emotional eating, trauma, or disordered patterns are impacting your progress.

 

Step 3: Ongoing Monitoring, Support & Adjustments

 

As your body changes, your plan should evolve too. You'll meet with your provider regularly (usually every 2–4 weeks) for:

​

• Progress tracking (weight, inches, labs)

• Medication dose adjustments (if applicable)

• Management of side effects or roadblocks

• Updates to your meal or movement plan

• Mindset support and relapse prevention
   

We celebrate every victory—from scale changes to non-scale wins like better sleep, reduced joint pain, or improved lab results.

 

Step 4: Transition to Maintenance

 

Sustainable weight loss doesn’t end when you hit a number. Once you’ve reached your target weight—or feel comfortable in your new habits—we’ll help you transition into long-term maintenance.

​

You’ll continue to have access to:

​

• Check-ins as needed

• Refills and medication management

• Preventive screenings and lab work

• Continued lifestyle coaching and accountability
   

We want to see you succeed not just now—but for life.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How much weight can I expect to lose?

 

Weight loss varies, but many patients lose 1–2 pounds per week with consistent adherence. We focus on fat loss, not just water or lean muscle.

 

Do I have to take medication?

 

No. While medications can be helpful, many patients succeed through dietary and lifestyle changes alone. We will only recommend medication if it’s safe, appropriate, and aligned with your goals.

 

Will my insurance cover this?

 

Some elements of our program—such as labs, visits, and certain medications—may be covered. We’ll help you verify benefits and provide clear pricing for self-pay options.

 

Can you help if I have diabetes, high cholesterol, or another condition?

 

Yes. Our providers specialize in metabolic health and can manage or co-manage chronic conditions alongside your weight loss plan.

 

How long is the program?

 

There’s no fixed end date. Some patients work with us for a few months, others continue long-term. We adjust to your progress and comfort level.

 

Is this program available to people of all genders and ages?

 

Yes. We work with adults of all gender identities, including men, women, non-binary individuals, and those transitioning. We offer culturally sensitive, inclusive care for all patients.
