Lose the weight. Keep the muscle.

Factors read together: your scan, your blood work, and your story

Medical weight loss

The scale tells you one number. We track what it's made of.

Most weight loss programs watch one number go down and call it success, even when a meaningful share of what's lost is muscle. That's the quiet failure mode of quick-fix weight loss: you end up lighter, weaker, and primed to regain.

Our program is built around body composition, not just weight. Your baseline scan measures muscle, body fat, and visceral fat, and we track all three as you lose, with protein and resistance training built into the plan so the loss comes from fat.

Where prescription support is clinically appropriate, your provider discusses the options, evidence, and tradeoffs with you at your visit, and anything prescribed is dispensed through licensed pharmacies with monitoring on a real schedule. What we don't do is sell medication from a website or run a one-size-fits-all protocol.

The program

What a real weight loss program includes.

Weight is an output. The program manages the inputs: metabolic health, muscle, nutrition, and accountability, with a provider adjusting as your body responds.

Factor 01

Body composition scan

Muscle, body fat, and visceral fat measured at baseline and tracked as you lose, so we know the loss is coming from the right place.

Factor 02

Metabolic blood work

40+ biomarkers drawn in our office: the metabolic and hormonal picture behind why the old approaches stopped working.

Factor 03

Your story

What you've tried, what your life actually looks like, and what sustainable means for you. Plans that ignore this fail.

Muscle protection

Protein & strength built in

Protein targets and resistance training guidance are part of the program, not a suggestion at the door.

Provider oversight

Check-ins that check things

Structured follow-ups at 30, 60, and 90 days, with scans and labs repeated where indicated, and the plan adjusted to your response.

Honest fit

Hormones checked too

Sometimes stalled weight has a hormonal driver. Because we're a hormone clinic, we check, and we treat the whole picture.

Realistic expectations

What it can, and can't, do.

Setting expectations honestly is part of the work. Here's the straight version.

What the program does well

  • Sustainable fat loss with muscle protection built in
  • A plan matched to your labs, scan, and life, not a template
  • Provider oversight with real check-ins and real adjustments
  • Screening for hormonal and metabolic drivers of stalled weight
  • Clear pricing discussed before anything begins
  • HSA/FSA eligibility for many expenses

What it isn't

  • A medication vending machine: nothing is sold on this site
  • A one-size-fits-all protocol
  • A crash program that trades muscle for scale weight
  • Set-and-forget: programs that aren't working get changed
  • A substitute for the nutrition and training that make results stick
  • Right for everyone: sometimes the honest answer is a different starting point

How it works

From consultation to plan, in real medicine.

The program starts with the full picture, because two of the three factors are just data, and the third is you.

Day 1

Comprehensive consult

In person at our Houston clinic: your history, your goals, and what you've already tried. $349 including labs and scan.

Same visit

Scan & labs

Body composition scan and 40+ biomarker draw, done in our office. No surprise bill at the draw.

Visit 2

Results & program

Your provider reads all three factors together and builds your program: nutrition, training, monitoring, and any clinically appropriate prescription support, explained face to face.

Ongoing

30 · 60 · 90

Structured check-ins with scans and labs repeated where indicated. The program adjusts as your body responds.

The goal

Keep it off

The exit plan matters as much as the loss. We build maintenance into the program from the start.

Before you book

Questions everyone asks.

How much does the program cost?
The Comprehensive Consult is $349, including the 40+ biomarker panel, body composition scan, and both provider visits. Program and any medication costs are reviewed with you at your results visit before anything begins. Many expenses are HSA/FSA eligible.
Do you prescribe weight loss medication?
Where it's clinically appropriate for a specific patient, prescription support is part of the conversation at your visit, with an honest review of options, evidence, and tradeoffs. We don't sell or ship medication from this website, and nothing is prescribed without a provider evaluation.
How is this different from a telehealth weight loss service?
We're an in-person clinic. Your scan and labs happen in our office, your provider knows your full picture, your muscle is tracked and protected, and your plan is adjusted at real check-ins. The difference shows up at month six.
What if my weight problem is hormonal?
Then we'll find it, because the baseline panel covers the hormonal and metabolic markers that drive stalled weight, and we treat hormones under the same roof. That's the advantage of a clinic over a weight loss app.
Will I lose muscle?
Protecting muscle is the point of the program design: composition scans, protein targets, and resistance training guidance are built in, and your follow-up scans verify the loss is coming from fat.
