The Weight Loss Program
How labs, medication and follow-up actually fit together, from the first conversation through to maintaining the result.
More Than a Prescription
It is easy to reduce this to a medication, because that is the part people have heard of. The medication is one component and on its own it is the least interesting part.
What makes it a program is the sequence around it. Testing first, conservative dosing, regular review, adjustment based on your response, and a plan for what happens afterwards.
How the Program Is Ordered
It begins with a consultation, then bloodwork so any plan is built on your numbers rather than an assumption.
From there a medication is chosen if appropriate, either semaglutide or tirzepatide, started low and adjusted as you go.
Planning for Afterwards From the Start
The question everybody asks eventually is what happens when they stop. Leaving that until the end is how people regain what they lost.
It is part of the conversation from the first appointment here. That is a large part of what separates a program from a prescription, and it sits at the centre of medical weight loss.
What the Program Includes
Everything below is part of it. The medication is one line on this list rather than the whole of it.
How the Program Runs
Every stage has a check-in attached to it.
Consultation First
Your goals, your history and what has worked for you before.
Bloodwork
Labs establish your starting point and look for anything working against you.
We Start Low
The opening dose is deliberately conservative to see how you tolerate it.
We Review and Adjust
Progress and side effects are checked regularly and the dose follows them.
Planning the Exit
What happens when you reach your goal is discussed from the start.

Weight Loss Program FAQ
That depends on your starting point and your goal, and it is discussed honestly at the consultation rather than presented as a fixed package.
No, and treating it that way is why people regain weight afterwards. The testing, the dosing, the reviews and the exit plan are what make it a program.
Regularly enough that your dose is being adjusted to your actual response rather than left to run. The exact rhythm is set at your consultation.
Then we look at why rather than simply increasing the dose. That is what the reviews are for and it is why supervision matters.
It is planned from the beginning. How you hold the result is part of the program rather than something you are left to work out alone.
