That’s why we offer a medically supervised weight loss program tailored to your unique needs, lifestyle, and health goals. Whether you’re looking to shed a few pounds or embark on a significant weight loss journey, our team of healthcare professionals will guide you through safe, effective, and evidence-based strategies that support long-term success.

How Medical Weight Loss Works

Our medical weight loss program goes beyond simple calorie counting and generic advice. We take a holistic approach to weight management by examining the underlying causes of weight gain—whether it’s hormonal imbalances, metabolic issues, or lifestyle factors. With this comprehensive view of your health, we develop a personalized treatment plan that can include a combination of prescription medications, nutritional guidance, and lifestyle coaching to help you achieve sustainable weight loss.

Prescription Weight Loss Drugs

In recent years, prescription weight loss medications have become a powerful tool in helping individuals achieve their weight loss goals. These medications are designed to work by regulating appetite, increasing metabolism, and improving fat burning. They are particularly effective for individuals who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone.

At TAG Family NP, we provide access to a variety of FDA-approved weight loss medications. Our team carefully evaluates your health history, lifestyle, and weight loss goals before recommending the right medication for you.

➡️ Phentermine:

An appetite suppressant that helps reduce hunger by affecting certain chemicals in the brain. Phentermine is often used for short-term weight loss to kick-start the process.

➡️ Contrave:

A combination of naltrexone and bupropion, this medication helps control cravings and overeating, particularly for individuals with emotional eating tendencies.

➡️ Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN):

LDN is increasingly being used in weight management to modulate the immune system, reduce inflammation, and regulate endorphins, which may improve mood and reduce cravings. LDN can help in stabilizing appetite, particularly for those struggling with emotional or stress-related eating. vv

➡️ Orlistat (Alli): Orlistat (Alli):

A medication that blocks the absorption of some of the fat you eat, reducing overall calorie intake.

The Latest in Weight Loss Medications: GLP-1 Agonists

In recent years, a new class of weight loss medications has emerged, focusing on hormones that regulate appetite and insulin levels. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists are gaining widespread attention due to their effectiveness in promoting weight loss, especially in individuals with obesity and related health conditions like type 2 diabetes.

Semaglutide (Wegovy):

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that works by mimicking the effects of a hormone that targets areas of the brain responsible for regulating appetite and food intake. It slows down how quickly the stomach empties, helping you feel fuller for longer, and reduces the frequency of hunger. Wegovy has shown significant success in clinical trials, with patients losing up to 15% of their body weight.

Cutting-Edge Weight Loss Treatments: Retatrutide and Cagrisema

As the field of weight loss medications continues to evolve, two exciting drugs are on the horizon: retatrutide and cagrisema.

  • Retatrutide:

    Retatrutide is a new investigational weight loss drug that acts as a triple agonist, targeting the GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors. This triple-action approach has shown promise in early studies for significant weight loss and improved metabolic health. Retatrutide offers the potential for enhanced fat burning while preserving lean muscle mass, making it an exciting development for the future of medical weight loss.

  • Cagrisema:

    Cagrisema combines semaglutide with cagrilintide, a long-acting amylin analogue. Together, these drugs provide complementary effects by enhancing satiety and reducing food intake. Cagrisema is being explored for its potential to deliver even greater weight loss results than semaglutide alone, providing a multi-hormonal approach to weight management.
