Medical Weight Management at Grace Health Clinic And Urgent Care
At Grace Health Clinic And Urgent Care, we understand that weight loss can be a complex challenge. Traditional diet and exercise plans may not always be enough, especially if underlying medical conditions or hormonal imbalances are contributing to weight gain. That’s where our Medical Weight Management program comes in, offering the latest advancements in weight loss medication, including the most recent developments with Semaglutide.
What is Medical Weight Management?
Medical weight management is a personalized approach to weight loss that combines traditional lifestyle changes with medical expertise and, in some cases, medication. It’s overseen by a qualified healthcare professional, often a doctor or registered dietitian, who works with you to develop a safe and effective weight loss plan tailored to your specific needs.

• Have struggled with weight loss in the past

Weight loss medication (when appropriate): We may discuss the potential benefits of FDA-approved weight loss medications as part of your comprehensive plan.
Some examples of these medications include:
Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy): This injectable medication works by increasing GLP-1, a hormone that promotes feelings of fullness and reduces appetite.
Liraglutide (Saxenda): Similar to Semaglutide, Liraglutide is an injectable GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels.
Phentermine-topiramate (Qsymia): This combination medication combines a stimulant (phentermine) that suppresses appetite with topiramate, which may help regulate mood and cravings.
Naltrexone-bupropion (Contrave): This medication combines naltrexone, which can decrease cravings for food and alcohol, with bupropion, an antidepressant that may also help with weight management.Important Note: It’s crucial to understand that medical weight loss medications are not a magic bullet. They are most effective when used alongside lifestyle changes like healthy eating and regular exercise. Our healthcare professionals will carefully evaluate your individual needs and medical history to determine if Semaglutide or other medications are a suitable option for you.
