NOW AVAILABLE-COMPOUNDED GLP-1 FORMULAS
We have partnered with trusted, board-certified compounding pharmacies that have both semaglutide and tirzepatide in stock and available to ship to our California patients. Each batch is tested for stability and potency via 3rd party independent laboratories. Certificate of analysis of medications are available upon request. Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are now available as commercial drugs Wegovy and Zepbound are on the FDA's drug shortage is list as of May 2023. Federal law allows compounding pharmaciesto formulate medications that are on this list to avoid lapse in treatment.
It is still important to receive medication from an informed, board-certified obesity medicine physician, who works with well-established and trusted compounding pharmacies that are able to provide a formulation that does not contain salt forms of semaglutide or tirzepatide. Salt forms have different active ingredients than approved drugs which contain the base form of semaglutide. Patient should only obtain drugs containing semaglutide or tirzepatide with the prescription from a licensed healthcare provider and only obtain medications from state licensed pharmacies or outsourced facilitiesregistered with the FDA.
Customized Weight Loss Plans
We recognize that every individual is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to weight loss. Our weight loss management program begins with a thorough assessment of your medical history, lifestyle, and weight loss goals. Based on this information, we develop a customized weight loss plan tailored to your specific needs. Our comprehensive approach addresses not only your weight but also factors contributing to weight gain, such as nutrition, physical activity, behavior, and emotional well-being.
Nutrition Counseling
Proper nutrition plays a fundamental role in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Our physicians will work closely with you to explain how to meet your macronutrient requirements safely and sustainably. We will educate you on balanced eating, portion control, mindful eating techniques, and strategies to overcome obstacles. We are also able to refer you to a team of therapists that specialize in weight loss counseling if necessary. Our aim is to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to make sustainable, healthy choices and develop a positive relationship with food.
Physical Activity Guidance
Regular physical activity is essential for weight management, improving cardiovascular health, and boosting overall well-being. We will guide you through safe and effective ways to teach you how to maximize fat burn and increase muscle mass. Our goal is to help you incorporate regular exercise into your routine and establish a lifelong commitment to an active lifestyle. We are also able to refer to a team of experienced physical therapists if needed.
Behavioral Modification
Weight loss is not just about what you eat or how much you exercise; it also involves understanding and modifying behaviors that may hinder your progress. Our team will help you identify unhealthy patterns, triggers, and emotional factors related to eating habits and guide you in developing healthier behaviors. We provide strategies for stress management, emotional eating, and behavior change to promote sustainable weight loss and long-term success.
