Overview

Not just a prescription — a metabolic plan.

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.

Benefits

What medically supervised weight loss changes.

Steady loss

Meaningful progress without the crash-diet rebound.

Muscle preserved

Protocols designed to spare lean mass, not sacrifice it.

Metabolic health

Insulin, A1c and lipids moving the right direction.

A result that holds

A plan for after the medication, not just during it.

Who it's for

Who is a candidate for medical weight loss.

Not everyone is a candidate — and we'll tell you honestly at the consultation, before you spend anything.

The Modern Method™

How the weight program is run — and how muscle is protected.

01
Advanced labs

A comprehensive baseline — not a single number — so nothing is guessed at.

02
Physician consultation

You meet Dr. Dean, review what the labs show, and hear honestly whether this is right for you.

03
Personalized plan

A protocol built for your body and goal, explained in plain language and in writing.

04
Treatment

Delivered in office or via telehealth, on the schedule that fits your life.

05
Continuous optimization

Re-test, adjust, repeat. This is ongoing care, not a one-time visit.

Safety

GLP-1 therapy with medical supervision.

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.

Common questions

Medical weight loss questions, answered.

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.
