Based on this information, we will discuss which medications and program can deliver your desired results. We will also perform a body composition analysis to monitor your progress throughout your journey.

At this appointment, we will order labs to compile a full metabolic profile and assess hormone levels, if appropriate. Here, we will help you select a program option and curate a lifestyle plan that is distinctly tailored to your needs. Our trained staff will review your program guide, including dietary recommendations, App access, and all of your program components.

Weight Loss Program Benefits

What are the benefits of Medical Weight Loss?

When considering medical weight loss Kirkland patients that visit us find our program is founded on evidence-based science and the understanding of the complex interrelated factors that contribute to weight gain and difficulty losing weight. These include physical (neurochemical, metabolic, and endocrine imbalances and dysfunction) psychological, environmental, genetic, and lifestyle factors that can overlap. These complex variables demand a comprehensive approach informed by what researchers and weight loss experts know. Blending a proven program methodology, medication management, nutrition and dietary counseling, mindfulness coaching, and accountability check-ins, our program offers the tools and inspiration to help you achieve and maintain your ideal weight.

Here’s what our weight loss programs offer:

  • A science-backed approach for steady, lasting progress.
  • Better energy and mood—because feeling good matters.
  • Tools and resources to make eating well feel easy, not restrictive.
  • A healthier relationship with your body and food.
  • Reduced risks for weight-related health conditions like diabetes and heart disease.
  • Complimentary perks like discounts on body contouring and aesthetic treatments to help you feel amazing inside and out.

Is a Weight Loss Program right for me?

Ask yourself:

  • Are you tired of crash diets that leave you frustrated and stuck?
  • Have you noticed your weight creeping up despite eating well and staying active?
  • Do you feel ready for a structured, medically supported plan that fits your life?

If this feels like you, you’re likely a great candidate. Our team will help you find the right program and tailor everything to your unique health profile, lifestyle, and goals. While our weight loss programs are safe for most adults, a thorough medical evaluation ensures your safety. We’ll work closely with you to navigate any health concerns or contraindications so you feel confident every step of the way.

Weight Loss Program Results

For most people, positive changes begin within weeks—think better energy, a trimmer waistline, and a renewed sense of control. Significant fat loss and body composition improvements typically unfold over the course of six months, and these results are built to last. With the right maintenance plan, you’ll stay on track with your weight loss program for the long haul without falling into the cycle of yo-yo dieting.

Weight Loss Program Aftercare

Your weight loss program results deserve staying power, and we’re here to help with that. Our aftercare plans are about more than maintenance—they’re about thriving in your new lifestyle. You’ll have access to ongoing support, follow-up appointments, and tools to keep your nutrition and fitness habits on point.
