Medical weight management in San Diego
Medication is one component. The programme also covers nutrition and activity, because medication alone costs you muscle along with fat.
Why this is a programme rather than a prescription
GLP-1 medications carry an FDA boxed warning and a real list of contraindications, and the dose is titrated upward over time with side effects managed as they appear. That is a physician's job, and the contraindications need ruling out before the first injection rather than after it.
The nutrition and exercise components are not an upsell. Reduced appetite is the intended effect of the medication — but without adequate protein and activity, a considerable proportion of what you lose is lean muscle mass, which is not the outcome anyone came for.
Every treatment starts with a free consultation, and part of that consultation is confirming you are asking for the right one.
