Weight Management
We go beyond diets. Our evidence-based weight management program combines medical evaluation, GLP-1 therapies, nutritional guidance, and ongoing accountability to help you reach and maintain a healthy weight.
What's Included
Every patient gets a fully personalized program. No cookie-cutter plans, no one-size-fits-all prescriptions. We look at the full picture — your metabolism, lifestyle, medical history, and goals.
Comprehensive metabolic assessment including labs, body composition analysis, and health risk evaluation to build your baseline.
FDA-approved medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide, prescribed and monitored by your provider when clinically appropriate.
Personalized meal guidance that fits your life. Sustainable changes grounded in science, not restriction or deprivation.
Tools and strategies for building lasting habits. We address emotional eating, stress, and the psychological side of weight loss.
Regular check-ins, lab reviews, and medication adjustments. We stay with you through every phase — not just the beginning.
A long-term strategy for keeping the weight off. Includes transition protocols and continued access to your provider.
What to Expect
We make the process straightforward. Here's what a typical weight management journey looks like at DalaHealth.
A 45-minute visit with your provider. We review your medical history, current medications, lifestyle, and weight loss goals. Labs are ordered if needed.
Based on your evaluation, we build a plan that may include GLP-1 medication, dietary adjustments, activity recommendations, and behavioral strategies.
Short follow-up visits every two weeks during your active weight loss phase. We monitor progress, adjust medications, and troubleshoot any challenges.
Once you reach your goal, we shift to a maintenance protocol. Monthly visits for the first 6 months, then quarterly. We don't disappear after the prescription.
Common Questions
GLP-1 medications are typically appropriate for adults with a BMI of 30+ or a BMI of 27+ with weight-related health conditions. During your initial consultation, we'll review your full medical history to determine if GLP-1 therapy is right for you.
Results vary by individual, but clinical studies show average weight loss of 15-20% of body weight with GLP-1 therapy combined with lifestyle changes. We set realistic, personalized goals based on your starting point and health profile.
We're membership-based, not insurance-based. One clear monthly membership covers your visits and provider access; medication is priced openly and shown before anything is ordered, and we'll point you to manufacturer savings programs when available. No claims, no surprise bills.
Many of our patients come to us after trying multiple approaches. What makes our program different is the medical component — we address the biological factors that make weight loss difficult, not just the behavioral ones. This is healthcare, not a diet plan.
The active weight loss phase typically lasts 6-12 months depending on your goals. After that, we transition to a maintenance program. We believe in long-term partnerships — you'll have continued access to your provider for as long as you need.
