Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight isn’t about willpower alone, it’s about biology, hormones, and sustainable habits. At What the Wellness IV, Solutions for Healing, our Weight Management program takes a personalized, medically guided approach to help you lose weight safely, improve metabolic health, and feel more confident in your body.
We offer compounded Semaglutide and Tirzepatide (generic names Wegovy®, Mounjaro and Zepbound®), combined with lifestyle guidance and ongoing provider support. Every plan is customized to your body, your goals, and your long-term health.
A Tailored, Whole-Body Approach to Weight Management
Weight loss is rarely just about calories. Hormones, sleep, stress (internal and external), nutrition, and metabolism all play a role. That’s why our Weight Management program focuses on addressing all contributing factors, not just the number on the scale.
Our team supports you with:
- Medical weight loss prescriptions when appropriate
- Nutrition and appetite guidance
- Lifestyle and movement support
- Long-term habit building for lasting results
If you’ve tried other programs without success, your body may simply need a more personalized approach.
Prescription Weight Loss Support
Compounded Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are prescription medications that mimic GLP-1, a natural hormone that helps regulate appetite, food intake, and blood sugar levels.
These therapies are widely recognized for supporting meaningful, sustainable weight loss when paired with lifestyle changes.
Key Benefits
- Appetite control and reduced cravings
- Improved satiety (feeling full sooner)
- Better blood sugar regulation
- Once-weekly dosing
- Supports long-term weight management
*Compounded Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are generic forms of FDA-approved medications such as Wegovy®, Mounjaro and Zepbound®.
How GLP-1–Based Weight Loss Works
GLP-1 medications help signal your brain that you’re full, slow digestion, and reduce hunger cues. This allows you to naturally eat less without extreme restriction or crash dieting.
In clinical studies:
- Patients lost an average of 12.5% of body weight
- Over one-third lost 20% or more of their body weight
When combined with proper nutrition, movement, and medical guidance, these therapies can help reset appetite patterns and support metabolic health.
What to Expect from Our Weight Management
Weight loss is not a quick fix, it’s a process. While medication can be a powerful tool, lasting results come from consistency and lifestyle support.
Our approach emphasizes:
- Balanced, nutrient-dense meals
- Understanding hunger cues and meal timing
- Daily movement and strength-building exercise
- Sustainable, long-term behavioral change
We do not support extreme restrictions or fad diets. Instead, we help you build habits you can maintain even after tapering off medication, reducing the risk of weight regain.

Common side effects may include:
