Medical Weight Loss
GLP-1. Done Right.
Physician-supervised semaglutide and tirzepatide. Monthly bloodwork. Real dosing adjustments. And the aesthetic follow-through to handle what changes after the weight does.
GLP-1 Medications Have Changed Weight Loss. But They're Not Enough Alone.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide have transformed medical weight loss. The results are real: 15–25% body weight reduction in clinical trials. But here's what the telehealth providers and pharmacy ads don't tell you:
Weight loss creates a second wave of needs. Patients who lose significant weight often experience loose skin, facial volume loss, reduced muscle mass, and body contour changes that require aesthetic intervention. A pill or injection doesn't address those.
GLP-1 therapy here is one part of a comprehensive plan. Dr. Valle prescribes and monitors your medication, tracks your health markers, adjusts dosing, and provides nutrition guidance. When you're ready, he connects you to the aesthetic services that complete your transformation: laser treatments, Botox, and more.
This is what the second wave of GLP-1 looks like: the phase where you don't just lose weight, you look and feel like the version of yourself you've been working toward. No telehealth provider can offer this. No pharmacy app. No prescription mill.
Your First 6 Months With Us
Performance & Longevity Health Assessment
You sit down with Dr. Valle, a board-certified physician, for a full Performance & Longevity Health Assessment. He reviews your health history, your current medications, your BMI, and your metabolic markers, then gives you an honest read on whether a GLP-1 program is right for you, and he will tell you if it isn't. That is what the $250 buys: his time, his expertise, and a straight answer. A real medical evaluation, not a sales call. You leave knowing where you stand, either way.
Comprehensive Bloodwork
We run a full metabolic panel, thyroid function, fasting insulin, HbA1c, lipids, and other relevant markers. This baseline informs your treatment and lets us track objective improvement.
Medication Initiation
If appropriate, Dr. Valle prescribes semaglutide or tirzepatide at a starting dose, with a clear titration schedule. Medication is sourced from licensed compounding pharmacies.
Monthly Monitoring
Every month, you meet with Dr. Valle. We track your weight, body composition, lab markers, side effects, and overall health. Dosing is adjusted based on your response, not a standard protocol.
Nutrition & Lifestyle Guidance
GLP-1 medications work best when combined with proper nutrition and activity. We provide guidance on protein intake, resistance training, and lifestyle factors that maximize results and minimize muscle loss.
Aesthetic Integration
As you reach your goals, we transition focus to the “second wave,” addressing loose skin, body contour changes, facial volume loss, and overall appearance. Body sculpting, skin tightening, fillers, and other treatments are available under the same roof.
GLP-1 Medications We Prescribe
Semaglutide (Compounded)
- How it works: GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces appetite, slows gastric emptying, and improves insulin sensitivity
- Administration: Weekly subcutaneous injection
- Typical weight loss: 15–20% of body weight over 12–18 months in clinical trials
- Program pricing is set during your assessment with Dr. Valle.
Tirzepatide (Compounded)
- How it works: Dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist that targets two pathways for potentially greater efficacy
- Administration: Weekly subcutaneous injection
- Typical weight loss: 20–25% of body weight in clinical trials
- Program pricing is set during your assessment with Dr. Valle.
Beyond the Prescription
What Physician-Led Weight Loss Actually Looks Like
Monthly in-person visits with Dr. Valle.
Comprehensive lab panels drawn in-office.
Nutrition guidance included, not generic PDFs.
Body composition tracked in-office, not self-reported weight.
Aesthetic follow-through under one roof: body sculpting, skin tightening, fillers.
Hormone integration: TRT and thyroid optimization as needed.
Not Everyone Is a Candidate. That Is the Point.
GLP-1 therapy is powerful medicine, and it is not for everyone. It is generally appropriate for a BMI of 30 or above, or 27 and above with a weight-related condition like high blood pressure or insulin resistance. Dr. Valle evaluates every patient individually, reviews your labs and history, and prescribes only when it is genuinely the right call. If you are not a candidate, he will tell you honestly and point you toward what makes more sense. The online sellers approve almost everyone. A physician willing to say no is the one worth seeing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Generally, patients with a BMI of 27+ with weight-related health conditions, or BMI 30+. Dr. Valle evaluates each patient individually. We do not prescribe to patients who do not meet medical criteria.
This is a real concern. Rapid weight loss can include muscle mass. We emphasize adequate protein intake (0.8–1g per pound of body weight), resistance training, and monitor body composition, not just the scale.
This varies by patient. Some use GLP-1s for 6–12 months and transition off with lifestyle changes. Others benefit from longer-term use. Dr. Valle will discuss a realistic timeline during your consultation.
Yes. In fact, TRT can help counteract the muscle loss that sometimes accompanies GLP-1 therapy. Many of our male patients combine both.
This is exactly why we offer GLP-1 as part of a comprehensive practice. As you lose weight, we can address skin quality with laser treatments, fine lines with Botox, and overall appearance with our full aesthetic menu. One practice. One plan.
It is a full Performance & Longevity Health Assessment with Dr. Valle, a board-certified physician. He reviews your health history, your current medications, your BMI, and your metabolic labs, then gives you a straight read on whether a GLP-1 program fits, including telling you if it does not. The $250 is a flat, standalone fee for his time and evaluation. It is a real medical assessment, not a sales call.
Because the right program depends on you. Your medication, your dose, and your plan are set once Dr. Valle understands your health and your goals, which is what the assessment is for. The one published price is the flat $250 assessment fee, and that is where every program starts.
