Weight Management in Phoenix | Medical Support + Lifestyle Strategy

Sustainable weight loss starts with understanding your metabolism, habits, risks and goals. We assess properly, investigate when needed, and build a plan that you can actually follow.

- Medical treatment options discussed based on suitability
- Practical nutrition strategy (simple and sustainable)
- Follow-up monitoring to keep you safe and consistent
💉 GLP-1 Options + Oral Agents (Discussed in Consultation)
For suitable patients, we can discuss prescription options such as GLP-1 therapies and oral agents. These are not “shortcuts” — they work best as part of a structured plan.
- GLP-1 options discussed: Ozempic / Wegovy / Mounjaro (where appropriate)
- Oral agents discussed (e.g., Duromine) for selected patients
- Side-effects, contraindications and monitoring explained clearly

IV Therapy in Phoenix | Rehydration, Electrolytes & Wellness Drips
Supportive therapy when clinically appropriate
💧 IV Therapy Options
IV therapy can be useful for dehydration and recovery support — we assess first to confirm what’s appropriate and safe.
- Rehydration drips
- Electrolyte support
- Glutathione (wellness support)
- “Hangover” support (rehydration + symptom relief where appropriate)
- General wellness drips (tailored)
- Iron drips
We check symptoms, vitals and risks before selecting an IV option.
You’ll know what’s in the drip, why it’s chosen, and what to expect afterwards.
IV therapy is done with clinical supervision and safety checks.
Note: IV therapy is not a replacement for treating underlying medical conditions — it can be supportive where appropriate.
What to Expect (Wellness Visits)
We align on your goals and assess medical history, risk factors and what’s realistic.
Where appropriate, we do tests to ensure treatments are safe and guided by evidence.
A clear plan with follow-up milestones — because wellness is a process, not a once-off visit.
What to Bring
Bring medical aid details and ID/passport.
Include supplements, allergies, and any previous weight-loss or acne treatments.
Weight trends, glucose readings (if relevant), BP log, and any fitness goals you’re tracking.
