Medically Supported Weight Loss
Nutrition That Nourishes Your Whole Self
At Nurture Women’s Health & Fertility, we’re excited to offer our medically supported weight loss program that takes a comprehensive, root-cause approach to metabolic health, empowering patients with the tools they need for sustainable, lifelong change. Guided by licensed medical providers and nutritionists, we focus on addressing the underlying factors that impact weight, rather than just treating symptoms.
By integrating education, accountability, and evidence-based strategies, we help patients make informed choices that support long-term wellness. Whether through metabolic testing, individualized nutrition plans, or lifestyle interventions, our goal is to guide you toward achieving sustainable weight loss in a way that feels empowering and aligned with your body’s needs.
Our Approach
Integrating Pharmaceutical Support
For patients who may benefit from additional metabolic support, we offer GLP-1 receptor agonist medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide. These weekly injectable medications help regulate appetite, slow gastric emptying, and improve insulin sensitivity, making weight loss more manageable and sustainable. GLP-1s work with the body’s natural processes to reduce hunger, support healthy blood sugar balance, and enhance metabolic efficiency. When paired with lifestyle changes, they can be a powerful tool in achieving long-term weight loss and overall well-being.
What to Expect with GLP-1 Weight Loss:
While GLP-1 weight loss medications offer incredible support in the weight loss journey achieving optimal results requires commitment and lifestyle changes. Think of medication as a tool—one that works best when combined with healthier food choices, regular physical activity, and a positive mindset. This is not a "quick fix" for unwanted weight; it's a sustainable solution for long-term wellness and a healthier life.
On average, our patients experience a weight loss of 15% - 22% of their body weight, with some achieving even greater results by embracing ongoing lifestyle changes. Our customized medical weight loss program provides the support and guidance needed for optimal metabolic health, helping you gain self-confidence and feel your best along the way.
What are the biggest factors that impact your weight loss goals?
-
Metabolic dysfunction is triggered by hormone changes and lifestyle factors. It is recognized by weight gain, increase in belly fat, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, inability to lose weight, and pre-diabetes/diabetes.
-
Inflammation in the body is responsible for symptoms like joint pain, fatigue, depression, and many more. Unchecked systemic inflammation leads to autoimmune disease and chronic diseases, including high cholesterol, diabetes, and heart disease. Inflammation also has a profound impact on weight loss.
-
When hormones are out of balance, weight loss can become more difficult, belly fat can increase, metabolic rate can slow down, and a loss of muscle mass can occur. This is why a holistic approach to weight loss is the most successful approach for long-term physical and metabolic health.
-
Stress and how we perceive stress has a major impact on our hormones, inflammation, and our body's ability to let go of excess weight. Stress management is one of the most important therapies for hormone optimization and weight loss. Stress can worsen insulin resistance, increase cortisol production, and even lead to weight gain.
