Weight loss results backed by science

Medi-Weightloss led a first-of-its-kind, five-year clinical trial called the Prospective Metabolic Indicator Study (PROMIS). This study was used to evaluate the effectiveness of our weight loss solutions and, specifically, how weight loss affected Metabolic Syndrome (MetS).

In our largest and most comprehensive study, our research proved that Medi-Weightloss patients lose weight and can improve their health.

After 13 weeks of our weight loss solutions, our patients, on average, experienced:

FAQs

Your results depend on several factors we actively manage with you: your metabolic rate, medical history, nutrition, activity level, sleep, stress, and adherence to your plan. Hormonal balance and muscle preservation matter, too. That’s why we run labs and body composition analysis, adjust your plan weekly, and offer tools like hormone optimization, supplements, and coaching. The more closely you work with your provider, the better your outcome.

Men and women can both succeed with the Medi-Weightloss Program, but individual results vary based on metabolism, hormones, body composition, and health history. Our program is personalized for your body — we run labs, analyze body composition, and offer hormone optimization therapy for women in perimenopause or menopause and for men with low testosterone, so we can address the underlying drivers of your weight.

Protecting your lean muscle is a core part of the Medi-Weightloss Program. Unlike rapid, unbalanced weight loss, our plans preserve muscle through adequate high-quality protein, branched-chain amino acids when needed, resistance-training guidance, and our Muscle Guard Booster injection. Your provider tracks lean body mass through body composition analysis at your weekly visits so we can adjust your plan if muscle starts to drop.

Metabolism plays a major role in how quickly and sustainably you lose weight, which is why we measure it directly. At your new patient visit, we assess your metabolic rate, body composition, and labs, then build your plan around those results. In our Wellness phase, we run advanced testing and analysis of your metabolism to help you keep weight off long-term. Hormone optimization therapy is also available when hormonal imbalances are slowing your metabolism.

In most cases, yes. We’ve found that very few medications negatively interact with the Medi-Weightloss Program. At your consultation, your provider will thoroughly review your medical history and current prescriptions with you, and coordinate with your primary care doctor if needed. That way we can build a weight loss plan that works safely alongside your existing medications.

Yes — Medi-Weightloss is a physician-supervised program, which makes it a safe option for many older adults. Because we run a full medical assessment — including blood work, EKG, and body composition analysis — your provider can tailor a plan that accounts for your current health, medications, and goals. We can also coordinate care with your primary doctor and specialists when appropriate.
