Is It Right for Me? The Program GLP-1 Options FAQ
This is a clinical program, not a product. Weight loss is medical. Every client undergoes metabolic evaluation, baseline labs, and a comprehensive MD consultation before any medication is prescribed. Monthly follow-up visits monitor progress, side effects, and lab markers — this is how weight loss should be practiced.

Is Medical Weight Loss Right for You?

For the adult
who has tried
everything else.

Most of our medical weight loss clients are adults 30 to 65 who have lost — and regained — weight multiple times across their lives. They're not lazy, uninformed, or lacking discipline. They've tried the diets. They work out. They know what a macro is. And they've run into the biological reality that diet and willpower alone often aren't enough, especially after 40, after pregnancy, after certain medications, after years of stress-driven metabolic shifts.

Medical weight loss is not a shortcut. It's a clinical framework that combines metabolic testing, nutritional strategy, lifestyle work, and — where clinically appropriate — GLP-1 and dual agonist medications (semaglutide, tirzepatide) that measurably shift the appetite signaling your prior efforts were fighting against.

We'll be direct with you. If medication isn't appropriate for your profile, we'll tell you. If another approach suits you better, we'll recommend it. Our goal is sustainable change — not selling you the most expensive option in the room.

The Program

How Medical
Weight Loss Works Here.

Integrated medicine, not isolated prescriptions. Every element is designed to support a change you can actually keep.

I.

Metabolic Evaluation

Baseline labs (HbA1c, lipids, thyroid, kidney, liver), BMI and body composition assessment, medication review. A clear picture of your metabolic starting point.

II.

Nutritional Strategy

Protein-forward eating to preserve lean mass during weight loss. Meal structure, restaurant navigation, travel protocols. Practical, not restrictive.

III.

Pharmacological Support

When clinically appropriate, FDA-approved GLP-1 or dual agonist medications are prescribed with careful titration and side effect management.

IV.

Monthly Monitoring

In-person or telehealth follow-ups assess progress, side effects, and lab markers. Dose adjustments made as tolerated. Course-correct early, not late.

V.

Lifestyle Integration

Sleep, stress, movement, and hydration are addressed as metabolic levers — not optional extras. Sustainable weight loss is multi-factorial, so the program is too.

VI.

Maintenance Planning

When you reach your goal, the plan changes. We design a maintenance protocol — medication tapering (if appropriate), ongoing nutritional support, and regular check-ins.

Pharmacological Options

GLP-1 & Dual
Agonist Medications.

Prescribed only when clinically appropriate — never as a first-line solution without evaluation.

Semaglutide

A GLP-1 receptor agonist (active ingredient in Wegovy for weight management and Ozempic for diabetes). Slows gastric emptying, improves insulin response, and reduces appetite. Once-weekly injection. Clinical trials show ~12–15% body weight loss over 12+ months.

Tirzepatide

A dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist (active ingredient in Zepbound for weight management and Mounjaro for diabetes). Trials show ~18–22% body weight loss — higher average than semaglutide. Once-weekly injection with structured titration.

Adjunctive Support

When appropriate, we may discuss additional tools: lipotropic injections (B12, MIC), metabolic-support IV drips, and in select cases, appetite-regulation medications. Only in service of the broader plan — never as standalone solutions.

Questions, Answered

Medical Weight Loss FAQ.

Common questions from our consultations. Call (973) 567-7492 if yours isn't here.

How much does medical weight loss cost in Saddle Brook, NJ?
The program is structured as an initial evaluation plus ongoing monthly visits. Medication, when prescribed, is priced separately — cost varies by GLP-1 medication, dosage, and whether compounded or branded options are used. Transparent, itemized pricing is provided during your complimentary consultation. Oasis Circle members receive 15% off in-house program fees.
Do you prescribe GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide?
Yes — when clinically appropriate. GLP-1 receptor agonists (semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic) and dual GIP/GLP-1 agonists (tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Mounjaro and Zepbound) are prescribed by our physicians after thorough medical evaluation. We discuss the full range of options — benefits, side effects, costs, and alternatives — so you can make an informed decision. Not every client is a candidate; our MDs will tell you honestly if another approach is better.
Am I a candidate for medical weight loss?
Eligibility depends on BMI, medical history, prior weight loss attempts, and overall health profile. Generally, adults with a BMI of 27+ with weight-related conditions, or BMI of 30+, may be candidates for pharmacological support. Those with lower BMI who need targeted metabolic or lifestyle intervention may still benefit from the structured program without medication. A consultation determines fit.
What's the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that slows gastric emptying, improves insulin response, and reduces appetite. Tirzepatide is a dual agonist — it activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which in clinical trials has produced higher average weight loss than semaglutide alone. Side effect profiles, dosing, and cost differ. Your physician will discuss which is appropriate for your medical profile and goals.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Clinical trials show average weight loss of 12–15% of body weight on semaglutide over 12+ months and 18–22% on tirzepatide — when combined with lifestyle changes. Your individual result depends on adherence, dose, lifestyle support, and physiology. We set realistic goals during your initial consultation and measure progress monthly.
Are there side effects to GLP-1 medications?
Yes — most commonly gastrointestinal (nausea, constipation, diarrhea), especially during initial dose escalation. These typically improve over time and with dose titration. Rarer but important side effects include pancreatitis, gallbladder issues, and (in those with family history) thyroid concerns. Our physicians review the full risk profile before prescribing and monitor throughout treatment.
How long will I need to stay on the medication?
There's no single answer — and honest discussion of this is part of informed consent. Obesity is a chronic condition, and research suggests that stopping GLP-1 medication without robust lifestyle support often results in weight regain. Our program emphasizes lifestyle and nutritional foundations alongside medication so that, for those who choose to taper, results are more sustainable. For some, long-term medication use may be appropriate. Your physician discusses your individual trajectory at each visit.
Do you offer nutritional counseling?
Yes — nutritional guidance is built into every medical weight loss program, not treated as an add-on. This includes protein intake strategy (critical during weight loss to preserve lean mass), meal structure, and practical navigation of restaurants, travel, and events. For complex cases, we coordinate with dietitians.
Can I combine medical weight loss with body contouring?
Yes — many clients benefit from combining medical weight loss with non-invasive body contouring (RF or ultrasound) to address stubborn areas that don't respond proportionally to weight loss, and to tighten skin during or after significant weight loss. We often wait to complete contouring until your weight has stabilized.
Is medical weight loss covered by insurance?
Insurance coverage for medical weight loss varies widely. Many plans cover portions of medical visits but not the full cost of GLP-1 medications. Some GLP-1 medications are specifically covered for diabetes but not for weight loss. We provide detailed receipts suitable for HSA/FSA reimbursement and insurance submission, though we do not directly bill insurance for weight loss services.

Yes. Our clinic at 350 Market St, Saddle Brook, NJ is minutes from Paramus, Hackensack, Fair Lawn, Ridgewood, Lodi, Garfield, Teaneck, and throughout Bergen County. All visits are by appointment; initial consultations are complimentary.
