The Weight is Over ... Finally

Weight Management

Let's be honest...obesity is brutal.

Those who struggle with their weight know how hard it can be. Obesity increases the risk of heart disease, sleep apnea, joint pain, depression, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. The list is endless. There are countless physiological and psychological effects that come along with obesity and weight issues. How many times have you heard "just eat better and move more!" If it was that easy, every one would be doing it!

Our founder, Elizabeth Kitching, is a board certified Nurse Practitioner who has a passion for helping those who struggle with obesity and obesity related conditions. For the past year, she has great success with helping people meet their weight loss goals.

Patients who qualify (and can afford!) name brand weight loss medications have tremendous success but with shortages, price increases, and insurance denials, many people are NOT able to get these medications through their primary care providers. There's also an element of shame associated with asking your doctor for help losing weight and many patients admit they have been told they 'don't need meds, they just need to diet.' Elizabeth has seen the struggle that many patients experience with yo-yoing weight, fad diets, and unsupportive clinicians. She wanted to create a program that was both effective and sustainable.

Today, we take pride in offering effective medication therapy to help you meet your weight loss goals without the hassle of prior authorizations and insurance red tape. We use a compounding pharmacy - medications made with the same active ingredients in the meds you get from your retail pharmacy. Our pharmacy sources only the highest purity peptides and goes through rigorous, third party testing to ensure quality and safety. Our medications are discreetly delivered to your front door and do not require you to jump through hoops to get your insurance to cover them!

Our Programs

We offer personalized medication therapy to help aid with weight loss. Through diet coaching and medical management, we can help you lose the inches and gain the confidence. Our programs are designed to help you not only lose weight but also improve your overall health and well-being. Currently we offer semaglutide and tirzepatide. Our pharmacy adds glycine, an amino acid, to help prevent the breakdown of protein tissue that forms muscles. This helps to ensure that your weight loss is from fat and not muscle mass! They also add b12, an essential vitamin in the body, to help combat the nausea that some patients experience. It also helps with energy levels to allow you to feel your best.

In the future, we look to expand our weight loss medication catalogue as well as add peptides and nootropics to help you reach your wellness goals!

What are weight loss meds?

New medications are on the market specifically designed to aid with weight loss. These medications are called GLP-1 receptor agonists. By increasing feelings of satiety, slowing gastric emptying leading to feeling fuller longer, and reducing appetite, they help reduce caloric intake and increase weight loss. There may even be some evidence that they help reduce inflammation, reduce cravings for cigarettes or alcohol, and lower cholesterol and blood pressure through weight loss. This helps lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. The demand for these medications is so high because they really work! Whether you need to lose 10 pounds or 100 pounds, patients in studies were able to lose up to 20% of their body weight and keep it off with the use of GLP-1 inhibitors.

Price List

Our dosing schedule is based off of manufacturer recommendations - patients may find they need a different dosing schedule. Your provider will discuss this with you.

FAQs

What does the price include?

Our prices include an initial virtual consultation with Elizabeth as well as medication and supplies. Supplies include needles, alcohol swabs, dosing instructions, and next day shipping with cold packaging, shipped to your door. Elizabeth is available for virtual check-ins throughout your journey and will answer all of your questions along the way. She also will share patient education curated by both SlimPhoria and the compounding pharmacy.

How do I know if the medication is right for me?

Weight loss medications are appropriate for most people, but not everyone. That's why we are available for any questions you have- just send us an email (below). We do screen all patients with a medical questionnaire prior to initiating therapy, which may require bloodwork or other health information. Most people ARE great candidates so send us an email if you have any questions!

Can I take semaglutide or tirzepatide even if I am a diabetic?

Yes! You can still take these medications even if you are on other anti-diabetic medications from your primary care doctor. Patients on GLP1s can expect to see a reduction in their A1C levels after just a few months of therapy.

How do I take semaglutide or tirzepatide?

These medications are taken once a week and are administered as an injection under the skin. You will receive directions with your medication that detail how to draw the medication up into an insulin needle from the vial. This can be done in the privacy of your own home! The needles that come with your medication are insulin needles (think tiny!) and are virtually painless.

Our semaglutide is now also available in oral form. These 'troches' are dissolvable doses that are taken under the tongue daily. No needles required!

What happens if I miss a dose?

Life is busy- sometimes we forget to take our medication! Its okay. Try to take the dose as soon as you remember. If its more than 5 days since your missed dose, skip the dose and take the next one on your regularly scheduled day.

What are the side effects?

Both medications are well tolerated. Some patients experience mild nausea or vomiting. Our pharmacy adds b12, an essential vitamin, to their medications to help prevent nausea. We also titrate your dose up slowly so your body has a chance to get used to it. We can prescribe other nausea medications too, if your symptoms are bothersome. Because the medications slows how fast your body digests food, you might become a little constipated too. We recommend adequate water and fiber intake, regular physical activity, and gentle stool softeners in case you get backed up!
