TLC Weight Management Strategies

We have many options to help you reach your health-related goals whether you want to reduce body fat, improve your energy, or increase your strength. As always, any medication that is prescribed will only be recommended along with a healthy diet and exercise program. 

Meeting with an APRN at the Lotus Center can help you determine if any of the options below are appropriate for you in an individualized weight management strategy.

Our most popular injections are our Lipo-Mini injection and our GLP-1 options. We offer compounded GLP-1 receptor agonist (semaglutide and tirzepatide) medications to clients who are seeking pharmaceutical support for weight loss and metabolic health as part of our robust weight loss protocol; including education in proper diet and exercise practices.

While brand-name GLP-1s can cost over $1,000 monthly, compounded versions provide comparable therapeutic benefits at a fraction of the price and are sourced from reputable 503B-certified pharmacies.

Studies show GLP-1 receptor agonists effectively aid weight loss, improve glycemic control, and support cardiovascular health. Compounded forms have demonstrated similar outcomes when properly manufactured and monitored.

At The Lotus Center, our program ensures safety through careful dosing guidance, ongoing provider oversight, and side-effect monitoring. Patients self-administer injections at home under our supervision and are supported by a multidisciplinary team that tracks progress and monitors for muscle loss and side effects.

We additionally provide recommendations for evidence-based Thorne supplements to preserve muscle mass, enhance results, and support nutritional balance.

Here is an article that provides a good overview on how compounded GLP-1 medications came about and where we are right now with the FDA oversight on these medications.

Call us at 385-272-4292 to make an appointment to learn more about how these medications might benefit your weight management strategy.
