TREATMENT OPTIONS

Treatment Options, Guided by Your Provider.

Our medical team evaluates your individual needs, health history, and goals to determine which treatment option may be appropriate for you.

PRESCRIPTION

Phentermine & Phendimetrazine

Short-Term Weight Management Support

Phentermine and phendimetrazine are prescription appetite-support medications that may be used short term as part of a medically supervised weight management program. 

These medications are intended to complement a broader plan that may include nutrition, physical activity, behavioral changes, and ongoing medical guidance.

Available Options:

Phentermine
15 mg · 30 mg · 37.5 mg

Phendimetrazine
35 mg

Medication selection, dosing, and eligibility are determined by a medical provider based on individual health history and treatment needs.

COMPOUNDED GLP-1

Compounded Semaglutide

GLP-1 Receptor Agonist

What Is It?

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist administered as a once-weekly injection that works with a pathway involved in appetite regulation and calorie intake.

How It Works?

By activating GLP-1 receptors, semaglutide can help reduce hunger and calorie intake, promote feelings of fullness, and slow gastric emptying.

What Makes It Different?

Semaglutide targets the GLP-1 receptor alone, offering a single-receptor approach focused on appetite regulation and satiety.

COMPOUNDED DUAL-INCRETIN

Compounded Tirzepatide

GIP + GLP-1 Receptor Agonist

What Is It?

Tirzepatide is a once-weekly dual-incretin injection that activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors involved in appetite, food intake, and metabolic regulation.

How It Works?

By activating both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, tirzepatide can help reduce appetite and calorie intake while also supporting glucose-dependent metabolic responses and delaying gastric emptying.

What Makes It Different?

Tirzepatide works through two receptor pathways—GIP and GLP-1. This dual-receptor action is the key difference between tirzepatide and semaglutide.

Personalized Medical Guidance

Treatment selection and dosing are determined by a medical provider based on individual health history, needs, goals, and response to treatment.

EMERGING THERAPY

Retatrutide

Investigational Triple Agonist 

GIP • GLP-1 • Glucagon

What Is It?

Retatrutide is an investigational once-weekly triple hormone receptor agonist currently being studied for obesity, weight management, and related metabolic conditions. It activates three receptor pathways: GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon.

How It Works?

By targeting three hormone receptor pathways simultaneously, retatrutide is being studied for its effects on appetite, food intake, energy expenditure, and metabolic regulation.

What Makes It Different?

Semaglutide acts primarily through the GLP-1 pathway, while tirzepatide targets GIP + GLP-1. Retatrutide adds a third pathway—glucagon—creating its triple-agonist mechanism.

Retatrutide is investigational and is not currently FDA-approved.

SUPPORTIVE CARE

Supportive Prescription Medications

Certain prescription medications may be considered to support individual needs during a medically supervised weight management program.

PRESCRIPTION DIURETIC

Hydrochlorothiazide

Water Pill / Fluid Management

What Is It?

Hydrochlorothiazide is a prescription thiazide diuretic, commonly referred to as a “water pill.” It works by helping the body remove excess sodium and water through increased urine production.

In Our Program

For appropriate patients, a medical provider may consider hydrochlorothiazide when fluid retention is a concern. It is not intended as a fat-loss medication and is not appropriate for every patient.

Provider Evaluation

Use is determined individually based on medical history, current medications, health status, and provider evaluation.

Prescription use is subject to medical evaluation and eligibility.

PRESCRIPTION ANTIEMETIC

Ondansetron

Nausea & Vomiting Support

What Is It?

Ondansetron is a prescription anti-nausea medication that works by blocking certain serotonin (5-HT3) receptors involved in nausea and vomiting.

In Our Program

During a medically supervised weight management program, a provider may consider ondansetron when nausea management is clinically appropriate.

Provider Evaluation

The need for supportive medication is evaluated individually based on symptoms, treatment plan, medical history, and provider assessment.

Prescription use is subject to medical evaluation and eligibility.

HCG PROGRAM

hCG Weight Management Program

Medically Supervised. Structured Around You.

Our hCG program is designed as a structured weight management approach that combines scheduled hCG injections, individualized nutrition guidance, and ongoing medical supervision.

01 — Personalized Plan

Your medical provider reviews your health history, goals, and treatment needs before creating your program.

02 — Active Treatment Phase

Patients follow their prescribed injection schedule along with a provider-directed reduced-calorie nutrition plan.

03 — Maintenance

After the active phase, the focus shifts toward maintaining progress and building sustainable nutrition habits.

Individualized Medical Guidance

Every hCG program is personalized. Treatment schedule, duration, and nutrition recommendations may vary based on individual needs and provider evaluation.

No hCG drug product is FDA-approved for weight loss. Program eligibility and treatment recommendations are determined by a medical provider.
