Medical Weight Loss in Lehi, Utah

Our Medical Weight Loss program helps support sustainable weight management through a personalized approach. The Medical Weight Loss service begins with an integrative assessment of your overall health, addressing factors that may have hindered past weight loss efforts. Under the guidance of Ruma’s experienced provider, a tailored plan is developed incorporating diet, exercise, nutrition, and medications such as tirzepatide. Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) Weight Loss receptor agonist suppresses appetite by affecting brain regions that regulate hunger and slow stomach emptying to maintain satiety. This holistic strategy ensures that each aspect of your wellness is optimized, making it suitable for various areas, such as reducing body fat and enhancing overall health.

Candidates for this program undergo a comprehensive lab panel to identify any underlying issues and evaluate suitability for weight loss medications.
