Our approach to supervised weight loss involves more than medication we focus on wellness support, building healthy habits, and creating a plan that works for you now and in the long run.
Everyone’s weight loss journey looks different, and we’re here to honor that. At Refreshed M.D. we provide support that goes beyond the basics. If you’ve been dealing with hormonal imbalance, low energy, or cravings, we’ll help you understand what’s going on and how to work with your body, not against it. We combine medical guidance, nutrition support , lifestyle changes, and, when appropriate, medication.
You’ll work closely with Dr. Taylor and Nurse Tracy, our expert team to build a plan rooted in your goals. We focus on evidence-based methods to improve metabolic health and help you move toward sustainable results with personalized programs.
Tirzepatide injections available under brand names like Mounjaro and Zepbound are making waves in weight management and diabetes care. As a GLP-1 receptor agonist, tirzepatide works by helping your body regulate blood sugar and reduce appetite. It also slows how quickly food leaves your stomach, helping you feel fuller for longer.
In short, tirzepatide supports appetite control, encourages fat reduction, and boosts insulin sensitivity all of which can help with weight loss when paired with healthy habits and the right treatment plan.
Tirzepatide is often recommended for people who haven’t seen results with lifestyle changes alone and who have a BMI of 27 or more, mainly if they also deal with conditions like high blood pressure, sleep apnea, or high cholesterol. But we also use it in cases where someone has more modest goals sometimes, small changes can make a significant impact.
It’s not for everyone. If you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, MEN 2 syndrome, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, it’s not the right fit. During your initial evaluation, Dr. Taylor will review everything with you and make sure this option aligns with your needs and health history.
We’ll also cover the basics of dosage guidance and what to expect if you begin this medication as part of your personalized care plan.
We start by discussing your medical background, challenges, and goals. This lets us take a truly individual approach and determine what has worked in the past. You’ll also complete an intake form and may have some bloodwork done before proceeding.
Once we have your lab results, we’ll discuss your personalized treatment plan again. This roadmap includes your goals, key milestones, and clear steps to get you there. We tie everything back to our Foundations of Holistic Wellness to ensure you’re supported in every way, mind, and body.
We’ll check in every two weeks, either by phone or video, and schedule in-person visits monthly. These are great times to review your progress, tweak your plan, and keep you feeling motivated and encouraged. Our goal is to provide expert support and help you stay on track.
Eventually, we’ll shift gears from weight loss to maintenance. We’ll help you phase off medication when it’s time and build lasting habits that support your health long-term. We also offer a supportive care plan for tapering, so you’re not navigating that transition alone.
