The Weight Loss Plan is where your medical weight management begins. Your first visit sets goals, reviews your health history and lab work, and determines whether a GLP 1 medication such as semaglutide or tirzepatide is appropriate. These once weekly prescriptions slow stomach emptying, reduce cravings and support blood sugar regulation, helping you eat less without constant hunger.
It is designed for adults with excess weight, stubborn fat or related concerns such as prediabetes, PCOS or metabolic syndrome, including those who have plateaued with diet and exercise. At our Merrick practice, your plan includes regular check ins, dose adjustments, weigh ins and lifestyle guidance, with optional IV or vitamin support when helpful.
