Step 5: Achieve Your Goal – And Keep Going

Your weight loss goal is personal and based on what is best for your health. We celebrate your success and provide you with a maintenance plan to help keep the weight off. If you have additional weight loss goals, we will continue guiding you to help you achieve them safely and effectively.

Alternative combinations – Under expert medical supervision, combining a GLP-1 with another weight loss medication may allow for a lower GLP-1 dosage while maintaining effectiveness. This approach, guided by a team with extensive experience in both GLP-1 treatments and weight loss, can optimize results and potentially reduce cost

“It’s honestly the best thing I ever did for myself, and I couldn’t be happier! Dr. Scinta ran a full lab and told me I was like a car that just needed some maintenance—new tires and new windshield wipers, LOL. I started following her strict program and recommendations.

A year later, I’m down 50 lbs and have maintained it! I have exceeded my original goal, feel amazing, have more energy than ever, and am now on their maintenance program. I am truly grateful for all their help and support!”
