A Tailored, Expert-Guided Approach for Sustainable Results
When it comes to losing weight, it can be tempting to try the latest fad diet or weight loss gimmick advertised online or on TV. However, these quick fixes rarely lead to sustainable, long-term results.
A medically supervised weight loss program takes a more measured, tailored approach to help you achieve your goals in a safe, effective way.
At Belle Marin Aesthetic Medicine, we understand the frustrations of struggling to lose those stubborn extra pounds. That’s why we offer a personalized medically supervised weight loss program utilizing innovative medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide to boost results.

The Struggles of Excess Weight
In today’s busy world, it can be difficult to maintain a healthy weight. Long work hours, chronic stress, and easy access to high-calorie convenience foods all contribute to unwanted weight gain for many people. Once the pounds creep on, losing them often feels like an uphill battle.
Being overweight or obese comes with increased risks for many serious health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and stroke. Carrying extra pounds can also lead to joint pain, sleep apnea, fatigue, and reduced mobility – negatively impacting your daily quality of life. You may also suffer from low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression.
Why We Gain Weight
There are many interconnected reasons why people gain excess weight, including:
- Genetics – Your DNA plays a role regulating appetite signals, fat storage, and metabolism. Some people are predisposed to hold onto extra weight.
- Imbalanced Hormones – Conditions like thyroid disorders or insulin resistance promote fat storage. Menopause can also trigger weight gain in women.
- Chronic Stress – High cortisol and inflammation from prolonged stress impacts appetite and fat distribution.
- Lifestyle Habits – Lack of activity, poor sleep, and calorie-dense diets of processed foods lead to gradual weight gain over time.
- Medications – Some prescription drugs like steroids, antidepressants, and seizure meds list weight gain as a side effect.
- Health Conditions – Diseases like Cushing’s syndrome and PCOS directly cause obesity in some cases.
Why Customized Treatment Planning is Essential
At the start of a medically supervised weight loss program, each patient undergoes a comprehensive health evaluation. This includes a review of their full medical history, any conditions or medications that may be contributing to weight gain, and a discussion of their weight loss goals and motivations.
Patients also receive a complete blood panel to check for hormonal imbalances like thyroid disorders that could undermine weight loss efforts. An initial physical exam is conducted to establish baseline measurements for tracking progress.
All of this information allows our medical team to create a fully customized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s unique health profile, risk factors, and body chemistry. The plan outlines the medication regimen, diet and exercise recommendations,and counseling throughout the program to help the patient shed pounds safely and effectively.
Belle Marin’s Medically Supervised Weight Loss Program
At Belle Marin Aesthetic Medicine, we offer a physician-guided medically supervised weight loss program that incorporates prescription medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide along with lifestyle counseling.
After a thorough individualized evaluation to identify the factors contributing to weight gain and establish customized treatment goals, we then prescribe appetite-regulating medications like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide based on your individual needs.
Our patients meet regularly with our medical team to monitor progress and adjust dosages as needed. Our goal is to help patients achieve significant yet sustainable weight loss aided by prescription medications for appetite and blood sugar control, along with the lifestyle changes needed for long-term health.
How Our Medically Supervised Weight Loss Program Works
Our physician-guided weight loss program follows a structured protocol optimized for effective, sustainable results:
- Initial Consultation – We conduct a medical history review, physical exam, and testing to assess health status, identify weight gain contributors, and establish weight loss goals. This allows us to create a customized treatment plan.
- Prescription of Medications – We prescribe therapeutic doses of medications like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide that regulate appetite, food intake, and blood sugar levels to assist with weight loss.
- Check-In Appointments – Patients meet with our medical team every 2-4 weeks to monitor progress, adjust medication if needed, and receive coaching.
- Lifestyle Guidance – We offer tools, education, and counseling on managing stress, getting better sleep, building healthy habits, and more to support weight management.
- Maintenance Phase – After goal achievement, we continue providing less frequent monitoring and lifestyle counseling to help patients maintain their new healthy weight.
Our step-by-step medically supervised program incorporates prescription medications for appetite and blood sugar control with significant lifestyle modification support for successful, lasting weight loss.
How Semaglutide and Tirzepatide Aids Appetite and Blood Sugar Control
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are effective for weight loss when combined with lifestyle interventions. These injectable drugs help regulate biological pathways that control appetite, food intake, and blood sugar balance.
- Semaglutide is designed to mimic the appetite-suppressing effects of the hormone GLP-1. By curbing hunger signals and increasing feelings of fullness after meals, it promotes eating less without willpower alone.
- Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1 and GIP agonist, so it targets receptors for both appetite-regulating hormones. This results in reduced calorie intake and improved insulin sensitization for better blood sugar regulation.
By curbing appetite and enhancing feelings of fullness, these prescription injections make it easier to reduce calorie intake and portion sizes. They also improve insulin sensitization and blood sugar regulation, providing better metabolic control.
