Micro Dosing
Medical Weight Management
GLP-1 medical weight management is often followed with a maintenance program. This is dependent upon the individual patient’s needs, however micro dosing is very effective and offers many ongoing health benefits.
Micro dosing requires similar attention and coaching as our medical weight loss program as we continue to review your overall health and provide proper custom dosing of the medications.
Along with lasting weight loss results, we offer continual support, additional therapies to enhance your well being and the guidance to retain a lifestyle that is both healthy and manageable. Visit our pricing page for more details.

My Weight Loss Journey
In September of 2022, I was at my highest weight and simultaneously, my self-esteem and my health were at an all-time low. I was physically inactive with only three outfits that fit my body. I refused to buy larger sizes and often canceled social plans- I was so unhappy with myself.
Until then, I’d believed I could lose weight on my own, remembering how easy it was when I was younger, but making healthy choices seemed pointless because even when I was being consistent, the scale didn't move.
At that same time, friends and family members were succeeding with medical weight loss programs, and though hesitant and skeptical, I decided to try a GLP-1 medication.
Subtle and significant changes began to show up. I had less bloating, more energy, a newfound desire to be active and my social life began to improve as I felt more positive while losing weight. The journey was challenging, definitely, but worth every effort. I lost 45 pounds! To call medical weight loss life-changing is an understatement.
The Turning Point
Deciding to use GLP-1 medicine marked a turning point in my weight loss journey. Initially skeptical of its effectiveness, my doubts were soon put to rest as I started seeing real results. While the process was slow, the steady progress kept me motivated. Each pound shed was a victory and confirmation of my commitment to a healthier lifestyle.
Embracing a New Lifestyle
As the weight continued to drop, my entire outlook on life began to change. The increase in energy levels made physical activities more enjoyable. I no longer saw exercise as a chore but as an opportunity to celebrate my body's capabilities.
The changes in my diet were equally transformative. GLP-1 medicine helped curb my cravings and allowed me to enjoy smaller, healthier meals. This control over my eating habits was empowering. I loved the satisfaction of nourishing my body with the right foods, knowing that each choice was a step toward my goal.
Overcoming Obstacles
The journey wasn't without its hurdles. There were moments of doubt, times when the scale didn't budge, and days when the temptation to revert to old habits was strong. However, I reminded myself of why I had started this journey. I drew strength from my progress, no matter how small. Each small victory reinforced my determination to keep going.
Celebrating Success
Reaching my current weight loss of 45 pounds is a milestone I celebrate with immense pride. The journey has not only changed my physical appearance but also reshaped my mental and emotional well-being. I feel more confident, more self-assured, and more in tune with my body than ever before.
The impact on my social life has been profound. I no longer shy away from gatherings or events. Instead, I embrace them with enthusiasm, eager to reconnect with loved ones and forge new relationships. My improved health and vitality have opened doors to experiences I once avoided.
Looking Ahead
While I am proud of the progress I've made, I recognize that my journey isn't over. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle requires continuous effort and commitment. I am determined to stay the course, making choices that honor my body and well-being.
The lessons I've learned along the way are invaluable. I have discovered the strength within myself to overcome challenges, the importance of patience, and the power of self-love. My weight loss journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the incredible transformations that can happen when we believe in ourselves.
