MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS IN DRAPER, UTAH
Semaglutide & Tirzepatide, Properly Managed
GLP-1 medication with the clinical oversight it warrants — baseline assessment, managed titration, side-effect support, and attention to muscle mass and nutrition.
THE MEDICATION IS NOT THE PROGRAM
GLP-1 medications have changed what is achievable in weight management, and the results are real. What has also happened is that a market of mail-order prescribers has grown up around them where the entire service is getting the medication to your door. That model works until it does not — until side effects need managing, until the dose needs adjusting, until someone notices that a substantial share of the weight coming off is muscle rather than fat, or until someone should have been screened for a contraindication and was not.
Here, a nurse practitioner with more than thirty years of clinical medicine manages your program. That starts with a proper baseline: medical history, medications, personal and family history relevant to these medications, and an honest conversation about what you are actually trying to achieve. Titration is managed rather than run on a fixed schedule, because tolerance varies enormously and the goal is the lowest effective dose rather than the fastest escalation.
We pay particular attention to the parts of GLP-1 treatment that get skipped. Protein intake and resistance training matter enormously for preserving lean mass during rapid weight loss, and patients who ignore them lose weight and strength together. Nausea and gastrointestinal side effects are manageable with the right adjustments rather than something to endure. And there is a plan for what happens afterwards, because coming off these medications without one is where a lot of people end up back where they started.
MIC and B-12 injections and peptide options are available alongside the GLP-1 program where they are appropriate. And because this is a full aesthetic practice, we can address the volume changes that often follow significant weight loss — in the face, where Renuva and structural filler restore what deflated, and elsewhere, where skin tightening or CoolSculpting addresses what remains. That continuity is genuinely difficult to get from a prescribing website.
HOW THE PROGRAM RUNS
Baseline consultation
Full medical history, current medications, relevant personal and family history, and a realistic conversation about goals and timeline.
Candidacy and medication selection
Whether a GLP-1 is appropriate for you, which one, and what the alternatives are if it is not.
Managed titration
Starting dose and escalation matched to your tolerance, with contact between appointments if side effects need addressing.
Ongoing review
Regular check-ins covering progress, side effects, protein intake, activity, and whether the dose still fits.
Maintenance planning
A plan for the transition off medication, built during the program rather than improvised at the end.

Common questions
MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS QUESTIONS
What patients ask about semaglutide and tirzepatide in Draper
They act on different receptor combinations and differ in dosing and side-effect profile. Which is appropriate for you depends on your history, your tolerance, and your goals — that assessment is what the baseline consultation is for.
Because the medication is the easy part. Baseline screening, managed titration, side-effect adjustment, and protecting lean mass during rapid loss are the parts that determine whether you get a good outcome, and those need a clinician who knows your history.
Some lean mass loss accompanies rapid weight loss, and it is the main failure mode of unmanaged GLP-1 use. Adequate protein intake and resistance training substantially mitigate it, and both are part of the program here rather than an afterthought.
Weight regain after stopping is common without a plan, which is why we build the transition into the program from the start rather than leaving it until your last appointment.
No — the program is self-pay with pricing given upfront. Financing and membership options are available if you would rather spread the cost.
Yes, and it is a common reason patients come back. Significant weight loss deflates facial fat pads, and Renuva, structural filler, and biostimulators can restore that. Having both managed by one practice makes the sequencing much easier.
