What is medical weight loss?

Medical weight loss is a personalized, supervised program designed to address the root causes of weight struggles. At Glow Health & Wellness, we evaluate hormones, thyroid health, metabolism, inflammation, sleep, stress, lifestyle habits, and overall wellness to create a plan tailored to your body and goals.

How is medical weight loss different from regular dieting?

Unlike restrictive dieting, medical weight loss focuses on correcting the underlying factors that make weight loss difficult. We use evidence-based therapies, medications when appropriate, peptide support, nutritional guidance, and ongoing monitoring for safe, sustainable results.

What medications do you offer for weight loss?

Treatment plans may include medications such as semaglutide or tirzepatide, depending on your needs and medical history. These options support appetite regulation, metabolic health, and blood sugar balance.

Can I do medical weight loss through telehealth?

Yes. Patients throughout Florida and Alabama can complete consultations and follow-ups through telehealth. Medications can often be shipped directly to your home or sent to a local pharmacy.

What symptoms suggest I may need medical weight loss support?

Stubborn weight, fatigue, cravings, slowed metabolism, difficulty losing weight despite dieting, hormonal symptoms, thyroid issues, or weight gain during perimenopause or menopause may indicate a need for medical weight loss support.

Does medical weight loss help with hormone-related weight gain?

Yes. Hormonal shifts related to perimenopause, menopause, or testosterone changes commonly contribute to weight gain. Our approach addresses hormones—not just calories.

Can thyroid issues impact weight loss?

Absolutely. Thyroid health plays a major role in metabolism. We assess thyroid function as part of your weight loss evaluation to ensure it is properly supported.

How long does it take to see results?

Many patients notice improvements in appetite, cravings, and energy within a few weeks. Meaningful weight loss often occurs over 1–3 months, with continued progress over time.

Do I need lab work before starting medical weight loss?

Often yes. Labs help assess metabolism, hormone levels, thyroid function, inflammation, and overall health so your plan is both safe and effective.

What lifestyle guidance is included?

We provide realistic guidance around nutrition, hydration, sleep, stress management, and movement—without extreme or unsustainable dieting.

Can medical weight loss help with emotional or stress-related eating?

Yes. By addressing hormones, stress response, sleep, and metabolic drivers of hunger, many patients experience fewer cravings and improved control around eating.

Do you offer peptide therapy for weight loss?

Yes. Peptides may support metabolism, fat loss, energy, recovery, and inflammation balance. They can be used alone or alongside other weight loss therapies when appropriate.

Is medical weight loss safe?

Yes. Programs are closely monitored and individualized based on your health history, goals, and tolerance. We prioritize safe, sustainable progress.

Does medical weight loss help with cravings and energy?

Many patients experience reduced cravings and improved energy as appetite regulation, inflammation, and metabolic balance improve.

Is medical weight loss helpful for men?

Yes. Men often benefit from medical weight loss, especially when low testosterone, thyroid imbalance, stress, or metabolic issues are involved.

Do you accept insurance for medical weight loss?

Glow Health & Wellness is a cash-based practice. We do not bill insurance, but we accept HSA and FSA cards for eligible weight loss visits, labs, and medications.

Will I need follow-up visits?

Yes. Follow-up visits are important for safety, progress tracking, and plan adjustments. These visits may be done in-office or via telehealth.

What makes Glow’s medical weight loss program different?

Our approach integrates functional medicine, hormone balance, thyroid health, peptide therapy, lifestyle support, and emotional wellness. Care is personalized, supportive, and never rushed.
