Long-Term Care for Lasting Weight Loss
Medical Weight Loss is a non-surgical, clinically supervised program designed to help you lose weight safely and effectively.

It works by regulating appetite, improving metabolic function, and supporting long-term fat loss, all tailored to your unique body and medical history.

- Unregulated Appetite
- Health Issues Related to Obesity
How It Works
Medical Weight Loss is a clinician-led, evidence-based approach that combines nutrition counseling, prescription medications, and lifestyle changes to support sustainable weight management. This treatment is ideal for individuals struggling with obesity, weight gain, or related health conditions. It goes beyond traditional dieting by targeting the biological and behavioral factors that contribute to excess body weight.
The Science of Semaglutide
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are prescription medications that mimic a naturally occurring hormone in your body that activates the GLP-1 receptor in your brain. This activation signals to your brain that you’re full and helps regulate your appetite.
Additionally, semaglutide and tirzepatide slow your stomach down, keeping food in your stomach longer and making you feel less hungry. Combined with diet and exercise, these medications are powerful tools for sustained weight loss.

Your Medical Weight Loss Treatment
At your first visit to Anora Integrative Health and Aesthetics, you’ll meet with a licensed provider for a comprehensive, one-on-one consultation. During this appointment, we will assess your body weight, body mass index (BMI), medical history, lifestyle habits, and personal weight loss goals. Lab work may be ordered to evaluate metabolic health, blood sugar levels, and hormone balance. This initial evaluation allows us to create a highly personalized medical weight loss plan tailored to your needs.
Based on your concerns and desired outcomes, we’ll recommend a combination of FDA-approved weight loss medications, nutritional guidance, and lifestyle strategies. We’ll also walk you through what to expect during treatment, including how often you’ll follow up, potential side effects, and realistic timelines for progress.
PREPARATION
To prepare for your Medical Weight Loss program and ensure the most accurate baseline assessment, we recommend the following:
- Make a list of your current medications and supplements
- Write down any weight loss strategies you’ve tried in the past
- Be ready to discuss eating habits, physical activity, and sleep patterns
- Avoid alcohol and large meals before your lab testing, if required
- Bring your insurance information to check eligibility and coverage
- Wear comfortable clothing for your initial body measurements
Preparing ahead of time allows us to fully customize your treatment and helps us set realistic, achievable goals.
TREATMENT
Once your plan is in place, your provider may prescribe FDA-approved weight loss medications such as semaglutide, tirzepatide, phentermine, or naltrexone/bupropion. These medications work by reducing appetite, improving insulin sensitivity, and supporting fat loss. Some may be taken orally, while others are injectables administered weekly.
You’ll also receive structured nutrition and physical activity recommendations, often developed with our registered dietitians. For those who benefit from additional structure, meal replacement options may be suggested to help with portion control and nutrient intake.
Follow-up visits typically occur every 2 to 4 weeks to track your progress, adjust your treatment as needed, and offer continued support. These check-ins are essential to monitor side effects, encourage healthy habits, and celebrate milestones along the way.
RESULTS
Many patients begin noticing changes in appetite, energy levels, and mood within the first 1 to 2 weeks. Weight loss usually begins within the first month and continues steadily with adherence to your personalized plan. Over time, you may also see improvements in related health markers such as blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels.
With consistent follow-through, patients often lose 5% to 15% of their starting body weight within 3 to 6 months. Results vary depending on individual health conditions, medication response, and lifestyle changes. Regular follow-up and ongoing support increase the likelihood of maintaining your progress.
For long-lasting results, we encourage healthy eating habits, consistent physical activity, stress management, and maintenance visits every few months after your initial treatment phase. Medical weight loss is not a quick fix—it’s a structured, supportive path to lasting transformation.
Holistic Treatments, Amazing Results
After 1 month: Patients typically begin noticing improved energy levels and modest reductions in weight and waist circumference.
After 3 months: Most patients report significant changes in body weight, body mass index (BMI), and a drop in blood sugar levels. Clothes may fit better, and sleep apnea symptoms may improve.
After 6 months and beyond: Patients can expect a more dramatic transformation, including decreased reliance on medications for hypertension and diabetes, and sustained weight loss when following their custom weight loss plan and treatment recommendations.
Risks and Side Effects of Medical Weight Loss
Medical Weight Loss is a safe and clinically guided approach when monitored by qualified health care providers. However, as with any medical treatment, there are potential risks and side effects—especially when prescription medications are involved.
Common side effects may include:
- Nausea or upset stomach
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Headache or fatigue
- Dizziness or dry mouth
- Injection site irritation (for injectables like semaglutide or tirzepatide)
- Mild increase in heart rate (more common with stimulants like phentermine)
These side effects are often temporary and can be managed with proper dose adjustments and hydration. Your clinician will monitor you closely to ensure your treatment remains safe and tolerable.
Less common or serious side effects can include:
- Gallbladder issues or pancreatitis (associated with certain GLP-1 medications)
- Mood changes or insomnia (especially with bupropion-containing medications)
- Elevated blood pressure or heart rate (phentermine-related)
- Allergic reactions (rare, but possible with any medication)
Medical Weight Loss is not suitable for everyone. Individuals with a history of certain cancers, untreated thyroid disease, severe gastrointestinal disorders, or a personal/family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma may not be candidates for specific medications.
At Anora Integrative Health and Aesthetics, we conduct a thorough review of your medical history, lab work, and lifestyle factors to customize your treatment plan and minimize risks. Your safety is our top priority, and all medications and protocols are selected based on evidence, clinical experience, and FDA guidance.
