Medical Weight Loss

Achieve lasting results with Medical Weight Loss—a personalized, doctor-guided approach to help you lose weight safely and effectively.

What is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss is a personalized, physician-led approach to achieving a healthy weight — one that focuses on long-term results, not quick fixes. At First Call DPC, medical weight loss is more than a diet plan or a prescription. It’s a comprehensive, data-driven health strategy that takes into account your metabolism, hormones, lifestyle, energy levels, sleep patterns, stress, and personal health goals.

 

Instead of trial-and-error dieting, our physicians use diagnostic lab testing, advanced metabolic medicine, and modern therapies like GLP-1 medications, peptide support, and hormone optimization to help your body burn fat more efficiently and restore sustainable metabolic balance.

 

This is health you can feel — more energy, better mood, improved focus, and confidence in how your body performs. And because First Call DPC is a direct primary care model, you have direct access to your doctor, ongoing check-ins, and personalized adjustments every step of the way.

 

Medical weight loss is not about eating less — it’s about helping your body operate the way it was meant to.

What Are the Benefits of Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss focuses on improving your health, longevity, and daily performance — not just the number on the scale. When guided by a physician who understands your metabolism, weight loss becomes simpler, safer, and more sustainable.

Benefits may include:

Reduced body fat and improved muscle composition

Lower inflammation and blood sugar levels

More stable energy levels throughout the day

Reduced risk of chronic disease, including diabetes and heart disease

Better sleep and stress balance

Greater confidence, mobility, and overall well-being

Improved hormone function and metabolic efficiency

Most importantly, medical weight loss treats the why behind weight gain — not just the symptoms. We identify underlying metabolic blocks such as insulin resistance, cortisol dysregulation, thyroid imbalance, or changes in sex hormones that make weight loss difficult.

When your body is optimized, weight loss becomes natural — not a battle.

Who is Medical Weight Loss Right For?

Medical weight loss is ideal for anyone who feels like they’ve “tried everything” and still struggles to lose weight — or keep it off.

You may be a good candidate if you are experiencing:

Weight gain that doesn’t respond to healthy eating or exercise

Low energy, mood swings, or hormonal imbalance

Slowed metabolism or stubborn fat around the midsection

Difficulty sleeping or managing stress

Sugar cravings, carb dependence, or appetite changes

Weight fluctuations related to menopause or andropause

It is also supportive for individuals who are:

Preventing metabolic disease

Looking to improve body composition and performance

Seeking a long-term, lifestyle-based approach to health

This is for people who want a partnership in their health — someone who listens, guides, and adjusts care as your body evolves.

What Conditions Can Medical Weight Loss Treat?

Medical weight loss can be beneficial for those managing or trying to prevent:

Obesity or BMI-related health concerns

Insulin resistance and prediabetes

Type 2 diabetes

Metabolic syndrome

Thyroid dysfunction

PCOS-related weight gain

Perimenopause and menopause-related weight changes

Low testosterone and hormonal decline

Chronic inflammation and fatigue

Sleep apnea or conditions worsened by excess weight

Because our approach is whole-body focused, patients often report improvements in digestion, mental clarity, joint comfort, mood, and cardiovascular health — even early in treatment.

What Should I Try At Home Before Seeing a Provider for Medical Weight Loss?

There are meaningful steps you can explore on your own — but lasting results come when the root cause is identified. Still, here are supportive first steps:

Increase protein intake at each meal: Helps stabilize blood sugar and support lean muscle.

Walk daily or move consistently: Even light movement improves metabolic flexibility.

Aim for consistent sleep: Poor sleep directly affects hunger and stress hormones.

Reduce processed foods and sugars: Lowers inflammation and improves energy.

If you’ve been doing these things and still feel stuck, that’s a sign your metabolism may need medical support — not more willpower.
