Customized Weight Loss

You may have heard various opinions on social media from those in the weight loss and fitness industries. The fact is, current prescription drugs used in weight loss have been used for almost 20 years and demonstrate an excellent safety profile when used under the care of a qualified healthcare provider. These medications are not for everyone though, so it is important to come in for a consultation to go over your health history and determine what medications are right for you.

Common side effects of weight loss medications are nausea, constipation, poor appetite, diarrhea and abdominal pain. This has a lot to do with dosage and diet. We keep you on the lowest dose required for your personal weight loss, teach you how to choose foods that will reduce these adverse effects and can use prescribed medications if necessary to help your body adjust.

If dosed incorrectly, prescription weight loss medications can also cause rapid weight loss. That may sound like a good thing, right? Wrong! When weight comes off too quickly, the body starts breaking down muscle. Muscle loss can lead to many health problems, such as low bone density, reduction in energy and decreased metabolism. This is why people who lose weight rapidly on weight loss medications often gain it back or have a harder time keeping it off. Here at Damn Girl! we titrate these medications with a goal of a 1-2 lb loss per week, while monitoring your body fat percentage, muscle mass, protein intake and movement.

Each treatment plan is unique to the individual's own health and weight loss history, as well as other factors such as age, menopause status, goal weight and disease history. Because of this, pricing can vary. We may recommend hormone therapy in combination with weight loss medications, or you may require more labwork or medications for example.

While our practice itself is cash pay, we do offer clients the option to use their private insurance for labs and prescription medications should they choose for as low as $199/month. Once your goal weight is acheived, we offer enrichment programs to help you maintain and build on your results for as little as $99/month.

If private insurance isn't an option for you, or if your insurance doesn't cover frequent labs or certain medications, we have private-pay options available starting at $300/month. Private pay rolls the cost of labs, medications, nutrition visits, wellness consultations and supplements into convenient monthly payments. For these programs, we accept all standard methods of personal payment or HSA/FSA accounts.

We don't want cost to be a determining factor when it comes to your health and wellness, so we work diligently with our labs and pharmacies to bring down overall costs and are committed to working with you to create a solution that works for you and your budget.

Yes! Several weight loss medications offer numerous health benefits. These include improved blood sugar control, reduced appetite, enhanced insulin sensitivity, reduced cravings for food and alcohol and weight loss.

The latest research has also found that these drugs can reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke, protect blood vessels, reduce inflammation, improve kidney function and reduce the risk of kidney and liver disease. Some studies suggest that prescription weight loss medications may even have additional benefits, such as improving sleep and promoting gut health.

Once your goal weight is reached, we recommend an enrichment program to build on your results. This often includes maintaining your weight while slowly weaning you off your weight loss medications. Our enrichment programs start as low as $99/month and ensure you get the support you need to continue your healthy lifestyle changes and improve your overall health.
