We offer GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide and personal support and guidance for your weight loss journey. These groundbreaking medications mimic a naturally occurring hormone in the body to regulate hunger and glucose levels. Administered via a once-weekly injection at home, semaglutide and tirzepatide work by slowing digestion, reducing appetite, and supporting consistent weight loss. This scientifically backed approach provides a powerful tool for those who have struggled to make progress with diet and exercise alone.
GLP-1 receptor agonists activate the same pathways your body uses to regulate appetite and blood sugar. Targeting these receptors in the brain and gut helps you feel fuller and longer and reduces the urge to overeat. In addition to appetite control, semaglutide, and tirzepatide enhance insulin sensitivity and slow gastric emptying, promoting a more stable metabolism. Combining with healthy lifestyle habits can lead to significant and sustainable fat loss.
Medical weight loss can represent a significant turning point in your wellness journey. Benefits of our medically supervised approach include:
Medication-assisted weight loss is designed for adults with a body mass index (BMI) over 30 or those with a BMI over 27 who also have obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, or high blood pressure. It’s a great option if you have struggled to lose weight or maintain weight loss through lifestyle changes alone. Our team will evaluate your health history, goals, and current lifestyle to determine if this approach is right for you.
After a comprehensive consultation and health screening, your personalized weight loss plan begins with a low initial weekly dose of the injectable medication. Your dosage gradually increases over several weeks to improve tolerability and optimize results.
We will teach you how to self-administer your injections, or you can come into Silkey MD to have them administered for you. Our team will monitor your progress and provide ongoing support, making any adjustments as needed. Most patients begin to notice appetite changes and start losing weight within the first few weeks.
You may notice changes in appetite and energy within the first few weeks. Most people begin to see the scale shift between one and two months. Over three to six months, meaningful weight loss becomes more visible—and more sustainable. The key is consistency and support, both of which we’ll provide.
Yes—but not all at once. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about creating habits you can live with. The medication makes it easier to eat less, feel satisfied, and break the cycle of emotional or impulsive eating.
