Medical Weight Loss in Naples, Florida
Weight management is rarely as simple as following another diet. We take a personalized medical approach that considers your health history, lifestyle, appetite, existing conditions, and long-term goals.
A Medical Approach to Weight Management
If you have struggled to lose weight or maintain your progress, the problem may involve more than willpower.
Appetite regulation, sleep, stress, medications, metabolic concerns, and daily routines can all influence your health and your ability to manage weight.
Our approach begins by understanding your individual circumstances. We discuss your goals, review your medical history, and help you explore options that fit into a broader plan for your well-being.
Weight-management services may be coordinated through Faces of Marco, our related physician-led wellness and aesthetic practice.
What Medical Weight Loss May Include
Your individualized plan may include:
- Review of your medical and weight-management history.
- Discussion of nutrition, physical activity, and lifestyle.
- Evaluation of existing health concerns.
- Assessment of medication eligibility when appropriate.
- Ongoing follow-up and monitoring.
- Adjustments based on your response and changing needs.
- Practical support for sustainable habits.
We focus on helping patients make informed decisions rather than promising a specific number on the scale.
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide
For some patients, medications containing semaglutide or tirzepatide may be considered as part of a clinician-supervised weight-management plan.
Semaglutide works through the GLP-1 pathway. Tirzepatide acts on both the GIP and GLP-1 pathways.
The appropriate medication, formulation, and treatment plan depend on your medical history, eligibility, potential risks, and the professional judgment of your clinician.
Not every medication is suitable for every patient, and availability should be confirmed directly with our team.
Support Beyond Medication
Medical weight management is about more than a prescription.
We can help patients consider realistic changes related to nutrition, physical activity, hydration, sleep, and daily routines.
Our goal is to support your health with a plan that reflects your circumstances and can evolve over time.
