Medical Weight Loss in Illinois: How It Works & What to Expect
Are you struggling to lose weight despite diet and exercise? Medical weight loss offers a science-backed approach to help you achieve sustainable results. At D.O.S.E MedSpa, we provide customized weight loss treatments, including GLP-1 medications and personalized health plans, to support your journey. Here’s everything you need to know about our medical weight loss services in Illinois.
What Is Medical Weight Loss?
Medical weight loss is a supervised program designed to help individuals lose weight through clinically proven treatments. Unlike fad diets, medical weight loss focuses on long-term success using a combination of:
- Prescription weight loss medications (such as GLP-1 receptor agonists and other oral medications)
- Lifestyle coaching
- Metabolic and hormonal assessments
How Do GLP-1 Medications Help With Weight Loss?
GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro), are prescription medications that regulate blood sugar, slow digestion, and reduce appetite. These medications can help:
- Decrease hunger and cravings
- Improve insulin sensitivity
- Promote long-term weight management
Who Is a Good Candidate for Medical Weight Loss?
You may benefit from medical weight loss if you:
- Have a BMI of 27+ with weight-related health conditions
- Struggle with weight loss despite diet and exercise
- Want a medically supervised approach to weight management
- Are committed to making sustainable lifestyle changes
During your consultation, we will assess your health history and goals to create a customized weight loss plan.
What to Expect During Your Weight Loss Program
- Initial Consultation: We evaluate your medical history, lifestyle, and weight loss goals.
- Personalized Plan: A tailored approach using prescription medication, nutrition guidance, and lifestyle changes.
- Ongoing Support: Regular check-ins to monitor progress, adjust treatment as needed, and provide accountability.
How Fast Will You See Results?
Most patients experience noticeable weight loss within the first few weeks, with continued progress over several months. On average, patients using GLP-1 medications can lose 10-15% of their body weight over time when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.
