Medical Weight Loss
Physician-supervised GLP-1 programs with monthly monitoring, nutrition guidance, and aesthetic integration for comprehensive body transformation.
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.
At True Roots, GLP-1 therapy is one part of a comprehensive plan. Dr. Valle prescribes and monitors your medication, tracks your health markers, adjusts dosing, provides nutrition guidance — and when you're ready, connects you to the aesthetic services that complete your transformation: body sculpting, skin tightening, facial restoration, and more.
This is what “the second wave” of GLP-1 looks like. And no telehealth provider can offer it.
How It Works
Physician Consultation
Dr. Valle evaluates your health history, current medications, BMI, metabolic markers, and weight loss goals. Not everyone is a candidate — and we'll tell you honestly if GLP-1 isn't the right path for you.
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.
