Weight that won't move is a signaling problem, not a willpower problem. We treat the metabolism first, protect lean mass through the loss, then help you keep the result.
GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are genuinely effective, but handed out without oversight they cost you muscle and often come back. Insulin and leptin signaling drive your hormones as much as hormones drive them — treated together, the loss holds.
We pair medication with the labs, protein and training targets, and monitoring that keep the weight you lose the right kind of weight — and keep the result once you taper.
Meaningful progress without the crash-diet rebound.
Protocols designed to spare lean mass, not sacrifice it.
Insulin, A1c and lipids moving the right direction.
A plan for after the medication, not just during it.
Not everyone is a candidate — and we'll tell you honestly at the consultation, before you spend anything.
A comprehensive baseline — not a single number — so nothing is guessed at.
You meet Dr. Dean, review what the labs show, and hear honestly whether this is right for you.
A protocol built for your body and goal, explained in plain language and in writing.
Delivered in office or via telehealth, on the schedule that fits your life.
Re-test, adjust, repeat. This is ongoing care, not a one-time visit.
GLP-1 medications have side effects and aren't appropriate for everyone. We screen candidacy, start low, monitor labs and body composition, and manage the metabolic picture around the medication. Individual results vary.
It depends on your history, goals and tolerance. We choose from your labs and adjust; both are tools, not a one-size answer.
That's the risk with unsupervised GLP-1 use. Our protocol is built specifically to protect lean mass with protein, training and monitoring.
We plan the taper and the after — hormones, metabolism and habits — so the result is durable instead of temporary.
This is cash-pay; HSA/FSA often applies and financing is available. You'll see the price before you start.
GLP-1 and dual-agonist medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide where they are appropriate, alongside the part most programs leave out — thyroid, insulin, cortisol and sex hormones corrected, protein and resistance training structured, and body composition tracked rather than scale weight alone. Not everyone needs medication, and Dr. Dean will say so if you do not.
Fasting glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, a lipid panel including ApoB, full thyroid, sex hormones, kidney and liver function and inflammatory markers, plus body composition. Medication is not started against a weight alone.
This is a cash-pay practice and the cost depends on which medication, if any, is part of your plan and how long you stay on it. You are given the figure before you commit. Medication pricing moves with the market, so we quote it at the consultation rather than publishing a number that will be wrong in a month.
The core program — comprehensive labs, an individualized plan, and dose adjustment driven by repeat testing.
Prescription peptide protocols chosen from your labs and reviewed alongside the rest of your plan.
Deep diagnostics, hormone and metabolic optimization and recovery support for adults who train.
In-office nutrient and NAD+ infusions as part of a physician-directed plan, not a drip menu.
The same medicine measured over years: deeper diagnostics and risk found early enough to change.
Hormones, metabolic health and cardiovascular risk held by one physician instead of three clinics.
Perimenopause, menopause and the symptoms most often dismissed as normal, properly evaluated.
Start with labs and a conversation. You'll leave knowing your plan and your price — no pressure.
