Weight Loss

What is a medically guided weight loss program?

A medically guided weight loss program considers the factors that influence your weight, including your medical history, medications, activity, sleep, and stress.

At Optimum Peak Wellness, we use this information to develop an individualized plan. Your provider may recommend further evaluation when symptoms or health history suggest a metabolic or hormonal concern. Follow-up visits help the team review your response and adjust your care.

What can my weight loss plan include?

Your plan may combine several approaches based on your needs:

• Medical evaluation: Review of your health history, current medications, and weight-related concerns.
• Prescription medication: Weight-management options when clinically appropriate.
• Movement and exercise: Recommendations that reflect your abilities and support consistent activity.
• Lifestyle coaching: Guidance on sleep, stress, and habits that can affect progress.
• Progress reviews: Ongoing assessment and adjustments as your needs change.

Recommended services and costs depend on your plan.

How do GLP-1 medications fit into the program?

For eligible patients, medications such as semaglutide or tirzepatide may support appetite management and weight reduction as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, while tirzepatide acts on both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. Your provider determines whether a medication is appropriate after reviewing your health history, current medications, and treatment goals.

Ongoing follow-up helps monitor your response, address side effects, and guide treatment decisions. Medication is one possible component of care, and results vary.

How can personal training and semi-private training support my weight loss goals?

For those seeking additional exercise support, personal and semi-private training can complement your weight loss plan.

Personal training provides one-on-one coaching, exercise modifications, and focused feedback tailored to your fitness level and goals.

Semi-private training combines individualized guidance with the motivation and accountability of a small group.

Sessions may include strength training, cardiovascular conditioning, functional movements, mobility work, and corrective exercise. Where included, PhysiTrack provides exercise demonstrations and guidance between appointments.

How do you measure progress beyond body weight?

Your progress may be assessed through changes in body composition, strength, movement, fitness, and daily habits.

Depending on your needs, assessments may include:

• Body composition scanning: Estimates fat mass and lean mass to provide context beyond scale weight.
• Kinetisense 3D movement analysis: Evaluates movement, posture, and balance to inform exercise planning.
• VO₂ max testing: Assesses cardiovascular fitness when appropriate for your goals.

Your team considers these findings alongside your energy, activity tolerance, and feedback to guide adjustments.

Can recovery services complement my program?

Recovery may be included in your broader activity and wellness routine. Depending on your needs, the team may discuss recovery workouts, sauna, compression therapy, or PEMF.

These services have different purposes and suitability requirements. Your team can explain which options may complement your routine and any separate costs.

What happens as I approach my weight loss goal?

Your team helps you plan for maintenance, including sustainable lifestyle habits, ongoing activity, and follow-up care.

For those who choose training, continued sessions can support strength and fitness. Medical reviews guide any treatment changes. If you take prescription medication, decisions about continuing or adjusting it are made with your prescribing provider.
