Our Intake Process

We understand that every individual’s weight loss journey is unique. Our intake process is designed to comprehensively evaluate your health, lifestyle, and goals, ensuring a personalized plan for lasting success.

  1. Family History & Personal Factors: We start by understanding your medical history, family background, and personal factors that may influence your weight and overall health. This helps us identify hereditary factors or underlying conditions.
  2. Rule Out Organic Causes: Next, we evaluate and rule out organic causes of weight gain, such as hormonal imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, or other metabolic conditions. Identifying these factors ensures we address the root cause of your challenges.
  3. Body Analysis: Fat vs. Muscle: A thorough body analysis measures your body fat percentage, muscle mass, and visceral fat levels.
  4. Nutrition Planning: We create a tailored nutrition plan, focusing on protein targets and balanced meals to support fat loss while preserving lean muscle.
  5. Exercise Guide: An exercise plan is developed based on your heart rate zone, helping you achieve optimal fat-burning and cardiovascular health.
  6. Medication Options: For some individuals, lifestyle changes may not be enough to achieve significant or sustainable weight loss. In such cases, FDA-approved weight loss medications like semaglutide (Ozempic and Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Zepbound) may be introduced to improve results.
  7. Weight Loss Maintenance: We provide strategies to maintain your progress, including sustainable lifestyle habits and long-term support.
  8. Stress Management: Finally, we address stress management, an often-overlooked factor in weight loss success.

At Prestige Medical Group, we’re committed to supporting you every step of the way on your journey to better health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does “medical weight loss” mean?

Medical weight loss is a supervised program led by weight management doctors to help patients lose weight safely and effectively. Unlike fad diets or over-the-counter supplements, medical weight loss is rooted in science and tailored to meet each individual's specific health goals. This evidence-based approach not only helps you lose weight, but also reduces the risk of chronic conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.

These programs involve a multi-faceted strategy, including nutritional guidance, exercise plans, and behavioral support to help address emotional eating, stress, and other psychological barriers. In some cases, FDA-approved weight loss medications may also be used.

How does Ozempic work?

Ozempic and Wegovy are both brand names for semaglutide, which mimics a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). This hormone is naturally released in the body after eating and plays a key role in appetite regulation and blood sugar control.

Here’s how it works as a weight loss treatment:

  1. Appetite Suppression: Semaglutide works on receptors in the brain to reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness, helping you eat smaller portions and feel satisfied for longer periods.
    Slows Digestion: Semaglutide slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach, which helps maintain stable blood sugar levels and prolongs satiety.
    Improves Insulin Sensitivity: By stabilizing blood sugar, semaglutide reduces the spikes and crashes that can lead to cravings and overeating.
    Clinical studies have shown that semaglutide can lead to significant weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise

How does Zepbound work?

Tirzepatide takes weight loss a step further by targeting two hormones: GLP-1 and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). This dual action allows the medication to not only suppress appetite, slow digestion, and improve insulin sensitivity but also boost metabolism by enhancing the body’s ability to metabolize fat and use energy efficiently. In clinical trials, tirzepatide has demonstrated even greater weight loss results than semaglutide, making it an exciting option for eligible patients. Tirzepatide, an active ingredient of Zepbound, takes weight loss a step further by targeting two hormones: GLP-1 and GIP. These hormones are responsible for regulating appetite, digestion, insulin sensitivity, and metabolism. By targeting both of these hormones, Zepbound is able to provide a comprehensive approach to weight loss.

What are my options if my insurance does not cover medical weight loss?

If your insurance doesn’t cover medical weight loss, there are still options available. You can pay out-of-pocket for our weight loss program. Additionally, you may be able to use Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Accounts (HSA) to cover related expenses. It’s always important to discuss your goals with our providers to find the safest and most effective solution for your needs.
