What Makes Medical Weight Loss Different

Most commercial weight loss programs rely on generic plans that don’t account for individual biology, health history, or metabolic factors. Medical weight loss takes a different approach.

​

At MRHS, your care is guided by clinical assessment and ongoing provider oversight. Programs typically include:

​

• Comprehensive clinical evaluation and lab testing

• Ongoing supervision by a licensed medical provider

• Plans tailored to your metabolic health, hormone levels, and goals

• One-on-one support, coaching, and medication oversight when appropriate

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

• Regular follow-up and plan adjustments

The goal is steady, realistic progress that can be maintained long term.

What to Expect 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.

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 as indicated to assess thyroid function, kidney function, liver function, cholesterol, insulin resistance, and inflammation markers

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

Your Personalized Weight Loss Plan

Based on your evaluation, your provider will develop a customized program. Plans may include one or more of the following components:

​

Nutrition Guidance

Rather than rigid rules, we focus on sustainable eating patterns that support fat loss, energy, and overall health. Plans may incorporate approaches such as Mediterranean-style eating, lower-carbohydrate strategies, intermittent fasting, or culturally appropriate meal planning—adapted to your preferences, schedule, and medical needs.

​

Activity Strategy

We meet you where you are. Whether you're sedentary, recovering from injury, or already active but stuck at a plateau, we create realistic movement plans that support fat loss, metabolic health, and injury prevention. This may include walking programs, strength training, low-impact exercise, or referrals for supervised activity when needed.

​

Weight Loss Medications (When Appropriate)

For patients who qualify, FDA-approved medications may be used as part of a broader plan. Options may include:

​

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

• Phentermine or Phentermine/Topiramate

• Bupropion/Naltrexone (Contrave)

• Metformin (especially for PCOS or insulin resistance) 

Medications are prescribed only when medically appropriate and are always paired with lifestyle and behavioral support.

​

Behavioral & Habit Support

Weight management often involves emotional and behavioral factors. Our team helps you identify triggers, build healthy habits, and stay accountable. We may coordinate care with behavioral health professionals when needed.

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

• Medication monitoring or adjustments

• Lab review when indicated

• Management of side effects or roadblocks

• Updates to your meal or movement plan

• Mindset support and relapse prevention 

Success is measured not only by weight, but also by improvements in energy, labs, mobility, sleep, and overall well-being.

Transition to Long-Term 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.

​

Ongoing support may include:

• Periodic check-ins

• Ongoing medication management if needed

• Preventive care and monitoring

• Continued lifestyle coaching and accountability
