My Mission

Obesity is a complex issue, and many doctors receive little training in the science of obesity or how to counsel people with this disease. This can leave patients feeling frustrated and unsupported in their weight management journeys.

That’s why I take a personalized approach to weight management, including healthy dietary habits, intermittent fasting, regular exercise, and clinically trialed, FDA-approved medications such as Wegovy and Ozempic. I am dedicated to educating and supporting my patients, so they can make sustainable lifestyle changes and achieve their wellness goals.

My mission is to empower you to take control of your health and well-being, despite the challenges posed by obesity. I strive to bridge the gap in education and support for patients struggling with this disease, and I am committed to providing compassionate care to each and every patient I serve. So, let’s work together to achieve your weight management goals and improve your overall health and well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wegovy and Ozempic are prescription medications used to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes. Like all medications, they come with potential risks and side effects that should be carefully considered and discussed with a healthcare provider.

However, both Wegovy and Ozempic have been approved by the FDA and have undergone extensive testing and clinical trials to evaluate their safety and effectiveness. They have been shown to help patients achieve significant weight loss and improved glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes, under the guidance and supervision of a healthcare provider.

It’s important to note that these medications are not appropriate for everyone and should only be used as directed by a healthcare provider. If you have questions or concerns about the safety or suitability of these medications for your specific situation, it’s best to discuss them with a healthcare provider.

The most common side effects of GLP-1 medications include:

Nausea: This is the most common side effect and usually occurs during the first few weeks of treatment. It may improve over time or can be managed with medication adjustments or other strategies.
Diarrhea: Some people may experience diarrhea or other gastrointestinal issues, which may also improve over time.
Decreased appetite: GLP-1 medications can decrease appetite, which can be helpful for weight loss but may also lead to unintended weight loss in some cases.
Headache: Headaches may occur, especially during the first few weeks of treatment.
Abdominal Pain: Abdominal pain or discomfort can occur in some patients taking GLP-1 medications. This may be related to gastrointestinal effects or other factors, and should be evaluated by a healthcare provider if severe or persistent.

It’s important to note that not everyone will experience these side effects, and some people may experience other side effects not listed here. If you’re considering taking a GLP-1 medication or are currently taking one and have concerns about side effects, it’s best to discuss them with a healthcare provider.

The cost of Wegovy or Ozempic can vary depending on a number of factors, including your insurance coverage, dosage, and the pharmacy you use.

Some insurance plans cover GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Ozempic, which can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs for patients. Some manufacturers also offer copay assistance programs to help patients with the cost of their medications.

If you’re considering taking Wegovy or Ozempic, it’s a good idea to check with your insurance provider to see if these medications are covered and what your out-of-pocket costs might be. Additionally, you can talk to your healthcare provider about any available copay assistance programs or other strategies to help make the cost of these medications more manageable.

The length of time you’ll need to stay on GLP-1 medications can vary depending on several factors, including your individual health needs and treatment goals.

In some cases, GLP-1 medications may be used long-term to help manage blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of complications. However, the medication may be discontinued or adjusted if it’s no longer necessary or if there are concerns about side effects.

For people using GLP-1 medications to manage obesity, the medication is typically used as part of a comprehensive weight loss program that includes dietary changes, exercise, and other lifestyle modifications. The duration of treatment may depend on factors such as how much weight you need to lose and how well you’re responding to treatment.

Ultimately, the decision to start or stop taking Wegovy or Ozempic should be made in consultation with a healthcare provider, who can help determine the appropriate duration of treatment based on your individual needs and goals.
