One of the primary benefits of medical weight loss is the personalized care you receive. Our healthcare professionals at Prime Medicine develop customized plans based on your unique needs, ensuring that the approach is both safe and effective.
Medical weight loss programs involve regular monitoring by healthcare providers. This means you get frequent check-ins to track your progress, adjust your plan as needed, and address any concerns you may have.
Unlike quick-fix solutions, medical weight loss aims for sustainable results. Our programs focus on lifestyle changes that you can maintain long-term, helping to prevent the yo-yo effect often associated with other weight loss methods.
Losing weight under medical supervision can lead to significant health improvements, including reduced blood pressure, improved cholesterol levels, and better management of chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease.
Weight loss can be a challenging journey, both physically and emotionally. At Prime Medicine, we offer psychological support to help you overcome obstacles and stay motivated throughout your weight loss journey.
Medical weight loss is suitable for a wide range of individuals, including:

Before seeking professional medical weight loss services, consider trying the following at home:
Focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and excessive amounts of unhealthy fats.
Incorporate at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week, along with muscle-strengthening exercises on two or more days a week.
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Sometimes, thirst can be mistaken for hunger, leading to unnecessary snacking.
Ensure you are getting enough quality sleep. Poor sleep can negatively impact your metabolism and increase cravings for unhealthy foods.
Practice mindful eating by paying attention to your hunger and fullness cues. Avoid distractions like watching TV while eating, which can lead to overeating.
At Prime Medicine, we follow a thorough process to determine if you are a suitable candidate for medical weight loss:
Your journey begins with an initial consultation where we discuss your medical history, previous weight loss attempts, and overall health goals. This helps us understand your unique needs and challenges.
We perform a comprehensive evaluation that includes physical examinations, blood tests, and other diagnostic tests to assess your overall health and identify any underlying conditions that may affect your weight loss journey.
Based on the results of your evaluation, our healthcare providers develop a personalized weight loss plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan may include dietary recommendations, exercise guidelines, and, if necessary, medications or other interventions.
Once your plan is in place, we provide ongoing support and monitoring to ensure you stay on track. This includes regular check-ins, adjustments to your plan as needed, and access to psychological support to help you overcome any emotional challenges.
