Weight Management
At Pragma Family Medicine we are committed to helping you with weight loss in a healthy and sustainable manner. Struggling to lose weight can be a lifelong challenge for some and for others a more recent issue as they age. Regardless of where you fall, it is important to have the help of a doctor during this journey as you explore the correct lifestyle changes and medications that can help. Too often, fad diets, supplements, and even medications are recommended without proper guidance and monitoring which leads to more yo-yo-ing and frustration and ultimately failure.
Your weight management program at Pragma includes:
- Personalized approach based on your habits and lifestyle.
- 1:1 nutrition counseling.
- Exercise recommendations and injury assessments.
- Medications at lower than retail cost or in some cases, no cost, including semaglutide, tirzepatide, buproprion, naltrexone, phentermine, topamax and others.
- Laboratory assessment of hormones and vitamin status to assess root causes of weight gain and to follow progress.
- All of this is INCLUDED with your direct primary care membership.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you prescribe Ozempic and Mounjaro for weight loss?
Yes we do! Ozempic (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) are in a class of medications known as GLP-1 agonists. While many insurance companies do not cover these for weight loss, we are able to procure these for our patients at a fraction of the price through a compounding pharmacy.
