Services and Programs

Weight Loss Program

The clinic will provide custom medical-based weight loss programs, which involve one-on-one nutritional and physical exercise guidance.

Prescription medications are offered for appetite control and metabolic support, including:

• GLP-1 receptor agonists approved by FDA: Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, once weekly injected subcutaneously.
• Prescription appetite suppressants like Adipex (Phentermine) to eligible patients which is a controlled drug that requires physical appointments.

Vitamin B6, B12 and lipotropic injections are provided as well.

In Alabama and Georgia, telemedicine visits can be obtained by residents. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are non-controlled drugs that can be prescribed remotely. Monthly in-office visits are required of controlled substances.

Other observations related to weight loss drugs are:

• Semaglutide is reported to enhance the performance of insulin, decrease cardiovascular risk, hunger, and blood sugar levels.
• Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are delivered to patients through 2-day UPS delivery at a cost of $25.
• Whenever medications are received, it is the duty of the patients to refrigerate them.

There is a conflict and verification note saying that the clinic offers Semaglutide and Tirzepatide injections but does not directly specify that they are the FDA-approved formulations or the compounded ones.

Verification Notes

• The clinic does not cover office visits with insurance and the patients are advised to enquire about medicine coverage independently.
• Telemedicine prescription is limited to non-controlled substances. Adipex is a controlled drug, and therefore there should be monthly in office follow-ups.
• Medication integrity should involve proper handling and refrigeration. The patients that need to pick up medication are advised to use coolers or ice.
• It does not clearly mention that Semaglutide and Tirzepatide injections are either FDA approved or compounded and this places a loophole of verification.
• Law enforcement in Alabama has already acted against clinics that offer unproven weight-loss medications under the label of research and patients should verify the validity of medication and regulation.
• There is not much pricing transparency and pricing estimates are based on the common compounded medications weight loss programs and medications.
