Weight Management Support

At VitaFusion Doctors, our medical weight management program takes a personalized approach to helping patients work toward healthier, sustainable weight goals. Our healthcare providers consider your medical history, current health, lifestyle, nutrition, weight management goals, and other relevant factors when developing recommendations.

For patients who qualify, prescription medications may be considered as one part of a comprehensive weight management plan. Treatment recommendations are individualized and are made only after consultation with a qualified healthcare provider.

Weight management can be influenced by many factors, including nutrition, physical activity, metabolism, sleep, medications, medical conditions, and lifestyle.

Our program begins with a medical evaluation to determine an appropriate approach for each patient. Depending on your individual needs, your plan may include:

• Medical evaluation and ongoing provider oversight
• Weight monitoring
• Nutrition and healthy lifestyle guidance
• Physical activity recommendations appropriate for your needs
• Regular progress assessments
• Prescription weight management medication when medically appropriate

Not every treatment is appropriate for every patient. Your healthcare provider will discuss available options, potential benefits, possible risks, and alternatives based on your individual circumstances.

Certain prescription medications may be used as part of medical weight management for eligible patients. Some medications work by affecting biological pathways involved in appetite, digestion, blood sugar regulation, and feelings of fullness.

Whether medication is appropriate depends on factors such as your medical history, current medications, health conditions, weight management needs, and treatment goals.

A healthcare provider will determine whether you are an appropriate candidate and discuss the medication options that may be suitable for you.

GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of prescription medications that mimic the activity of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a naturally occurring hormone involved in appetite and blood glucose regulation.

Certain GLP-1 medications have received FDA approval for specific indications, including chronic weight management in qualifying patients. Other medications within this class are approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

These medications require a prescription and medical supervision. The appropriate medication, dose, and treatment schedule depend on the individual patient and the specific medication prescribed.

Semaglutide belongs to the GLP-1 receptor agonist class of medications. FDA-approved semaglutide products are available for specific medical indications, including certain products approved for chronic weight management and others approved for type 2 diabetes.

Semaglutide is not appropriate for everyone. A healthcare provider should evaluate your health history, current medications, potential contraindications, and other factors before determining whether a semaglutide-containing medication or another treatment option is appropriate.

GLP-1 is a hormone involved in several processes related to digestion, appetite, and blood glucose regulation. Medications that act on GLP-1 receptors may influence feelings of fullness, appetite, gastric emptying, and insulin and glucagon activity.

Individual responses to treatment vary. Medication is generally used as part of a broader medical weight management plan that also addresses nutrition, physical activity, lifestyle habits, and ongoing medical care.

Medication is only one potential component of medical weight management.

Healthy eating habits, appropriate physical activity, adequate sleep, and sustainable lifestyle changes can play important roles in long-term weight management. Our goal is to help patients develop practical habits that support their overall health while working toward their individual weight goals.

Recommendations are personalized because nutritional and lifestyle needs can vary considerably from one patient to another.

Medical weight management requires ongoing evaluation. During your program, your healthcare team may monitor your weight, body composition, response to treatment, and overall progress.

Your provider may also adjust recommendations when appropriate based on your response, tolerance, medical needs, and goals.

Medical weight management may be appropriate for adults who have had difficulty achieving or maintaining their weight goals through lifestyle changes alone or who have health considerations that may benefit from medically supervised weight management.

Eligibility for prescription medication is determined individually. Your healthcare provider will review your medical history and discuss whether medication or another approach is appropriate for you.

Prescription weight management medications can cause side effects and may not be appropriate for people with certain medical conditions.

Depending on the medication being considered, your healthcare provider may discuss considerations involving gastrointestinal symptoms, pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, kidney problems, hypoglycemia when used with certain diabetes medications, hypersensitivity reactions, diabetic retinopathy, pregnancy, and certain personal or family medical histories.

Tell your healthcare provider about your complete medical history, current medications and supplements, allergies, and whether you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

Seek prompt medical attention for severe or concerning symptoms.

In certain circumstances, a healthcare provider may determine that a compounded medication is medically appropriate for an individual patient whose needs cannot be met by an available FDA-approved medication.

Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The FDA does not review compounded medications for safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed in the same manner as FDA-approved medications.

If a compounded medication is being considered, your healthcare provider can discuss why it may be appropriate for your individual medical needs as well as potential risks, benefits, and alternatives.

Your experience begins with a consultation and medical evaluation. If you are an appropriate candidate for medical weight management, your healthcare provider will discuss available treatment options and develop recommendations based on your individual needs.

Your program may include regular weight and body composition assessments, lifestyle and nutrition support, medical monitoring, and follow-up visits.

Prescription medication is provided only when determined to be medically appropriate by a qualified healthcare provider.
