Medical Weight Loss
If you’re struggling with stubborn weight gain, slow metabolism, or frustration despite “doing everything right,” you’re not alone. At 518 Medspa, we offer medically guided weight loss plans that address the root causes—hormones, metabolism, lifestyle, and overall health—so results are realistic and sustainable.
Is Medical Weight Loss Right For You
Medial weight loss may be a good fit if you are experiencing
- Stubborn weight gain that won’t budge despite diet and exercise
- Weight gain during perimenopause, menopause, or hormonal shifts
- Slowed metabolism or persistent fatigue
- Blood sugar irregularities or insulin resistance
- Previous weight loss that plateaued or didn’t last
- Desire for medical guidance and accountability
- Preference for a personalized, non-judgmental approach
How it works
At 518 Medspa, we will begin with a comprehensive consultation to review your health history, goals, and previous weight loss attempts – because understanding what’s gotten in the way matters as much as the treatment itself. We order and review labs to identify any metabolic or hormonal factors contributing to weight gain and ensure your treatment plan is safe and appropriate for you. From there, we develop a medication protocol, dosing schedule, and lifestyle recommendations built around you, not just a template. For many patients, this includes a prescription for evidence-based injectable GLP-1 or dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist medications – a class of treatments that work with your own hormones to promote weight-loss by suppressing appetite, slow gastric emptying, improve insulin sensitivity, and support meaningful, sustained fat loss. Our approach focuses on understanding your body and building a plan that supports long-term success. We monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed to maximize success in achieving desired results.
Why the Program Behind the Medication Matters
What Sets 518 Medspa Apart from Other GLP-1 Programs
Not all GLP-1 programs are the same — and when it comes to your health, the difference matters. Injectable weight loss medications have become increasingly accessible, and that’s a good thing. But medication alone is only part of the equation. What makes the difference between results that last and results that don’t is the support, oversight, and personalization built around it.
At 518 Medspa, your weight loss program is a membership — meaning you have a real provider in your corner from day one and throughout your entire journey. That includes:
- Regular follow-up appointments to assess how you’re feeling and how your body is responding
- Ongoing lab review and monitoring to keep your plan safe and effective as you progress
- Medication and dosing adjustments tailored to your response — not a one-size-fits-all protocol
- Direct access to your medical provider when you have questions, concerns, or need guidance between visits
This level of clinical oversight isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s what allows us to catch issues early, optimize your results, and support you through the inevitable plateaus and adjustments that come with any meaningful health journey. Weight loss that lasts requires more than a prescription. It requires a plan, a provider, and a partnership.

Hormones & Weight: More Connected Than You Think
Estrogen, testosterone, thyroid function, and insulin all play a significant role in how your body stores fat, regulates appetite, and responds to exercise. For many patients — especially women in perimenopause or menopause — addressing hormonal imbalances alongside a weight loss protocol leads to dramatically better and more lasting results. We look at the full picture, not just the number on the scale.
