Medical Weight Loss at Glow Health & Wellness

Weight gain, stubborn fat, and metabolic slowdown are some of the most frustrating challenges adults face and for many, these issues have nothing to do with willpower. Hormones, stress, inflammation, thyroid patterns, insulin resistance, gut health, perimenopause, and lifestyle demands all quietly influence how easily the body gains or loses weight. At Glow Health & Wellness, our Medical Weight Loss Program is designed to help you identify these underlying factors, correct them, and achieve sustainable results that improve your energy, confidence, and long-term health.

Whether you prefer to visit us in our Destin clinic or choose Telehealth support available throughout Florida and Alabama, our medical weight-loss program makes it possible to lose weight safely, effectively, and sustainably—with ongoing support from a provider who truly listens.

Why Medical Weight Loss Works When Diets Don’t

Traditional dieting often fails because it does not address the deeper metabolic, hormonal, or physiological factors that influence weight. You can eat clean, cut calories, and exercise consistently and still see little to no progress. When this happens, the problem isn’t motivation; it’s biology.

Medical weight loss is different because it evaluates and corrects the factors that are sabotaging your progress, such as:

• Insulin resistance
• Cortisol imbalance
• Thyroid dysfunction
• Hormonal decline or perimenopause
• Chronic inflammation
• Sleep disruption
• Nutrient deficiencies
• Gut microbiome imbalance
• Metabolic slowdown
• Age-related muscle loss

By identifying what your body is struggling with and tailoring a plan around it, medical weight loss finally creates a straightforward path to results.

What Makes Glow’s Weight Loss Program Different

Many weight-loss programs focus solely on cutting calories or prescribing a medication and checking in once every few months. At Glow Health & Wellness, our approach is holistic and medically grounded. We evaluates:

• Blood sugar patterns and insulin response
• Thyroid health
• Cortisol rhythm
• Sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone)
• Inflammation markers
• Nutrient levels
• Gut health
• Metabolic rate
• Lifestyle demands and stress load

This deeper insight allows us to design a program that works with your body, not against it. Our patients often feel better within weeks, not only because they lose weight, but because their energy returns, their sleep improves, their cravings decrease, and their metabolism begins functioning properly again.

Medications and Treatments We Utilize

Glow Health & Wellness offers a wide range of medical tools that support weight loss safely and effectively. We choose the right therapy based on your hormone profile, metabolic health, and personal goals.

Your plan may include:

• FDA-approved weight-loss medications
• Metabolic-enhancing peptides
• Thyroid optimization
• Hormone therapy
• Appetite-regulating treatments
• Supplements that support metabolism and insulin sensitivity
• Nutrient injections or IV therapy
• Gut and microbiome support strategies

These treatments are carefully dosed and monitored so you feel supported every step of the way.

Understanding Metabolism and Hormones

Hormones are often the missing link in weight loss especially for women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond. Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones, and cortisol all influence how your body stores fat, builds muscle, manages cravings, responds to stress, and burns calories.

When hormones decline or fluctuate, weight loss becomes significantly harder. Many women tell us they feel like they woke up one day and their metabolism “broke.” Men often notice decreasing strength, lower energy, and increasing abdominal fat long before they realize testosterone decline is part of the problem.

We are highly skilled in hormone optimization for both men and women, and when appropriate, hormone therapy may be included in your weight-loss plan. When hormones are balanced, your body becomes far more responsive to weight-loss efforts.

Appetite, Cravings, and Stress Eating

Chronic stress and disrupted cortisol patterns dramatically increase cravings for sugar, carbs, and comfort foods. They also increase abdominal fat storage. This isn’t lack of discipline, this is physiology.

We help patients understand their stress patterns and offers targeted strategies, supplements, lifestyle adjustments, and medications (when appropriate) to reduce cortisol-driven cravings. When cravings are controlled, weight loss becomes more predictable and much less frustrating.

Sleep and Weight Loss

Poor sleep disrupts hormones like leptin and ghrelin, which regulate hunger and fullness. It also increases inflammation and insulin resistance. Many patients struggle with sleep without realizing it is directly influencing their weight.

We evaluate sleep patterns and may recommend hormonal support, supplements, peptides, or behavioral adjustments to ensure restorative sleep becomes part of your success plan.

Realistic, Sustainable Nutrition

Unlike restrictive dieting, Glow’s approach focuses on nourishing your body in a way that supports metabolic healing. Casey teaches patients how to eat in a way that:

• Reduces cravings
• Stabilizes blood sugar
• Supports lean muscle
• Improves energy
• Promotes long-term fat loss
• Reduces inflammation
• Fits your real-life schedule

This is not a “chicken-and-broccoli forever” plan. Instead, we focus on realistic, balanced eating patterns that patients can maintain, not just during weight loss, but long after they reach their goal.

Exercise Guidance That Works With Your Metabolism

Exercise recommendations are tailored to your hormone levels, energy, and metabolism. For some individuals, intense cardio can actually stall weight loss due to cortisol spikes. In those cases, we guide patients toward strength training, walking programs, interval workouts, or gentle movement until hormone balance improves.

The goal is not to exhaust your body, it’s to strengthen it.

Weight Loss Through Telehealth

Patients across Florida and Alabama can participate fully in our medical weight-loss program through Telehealth. This includes:

• Virtual consultations
• Lab ordering and interpretation
• Medication management
• Peptide and hormone oversight
• Nutritional guidance
• Ongoing monitoring and support

Medications can be shipped directly to your home, and labs can be completed at a nearby facility, making treatment accessible no matter where you live.

Patients love the convenience of Telehealth paired with the depth of our care. We listen, support, and guide in a way that feels personal, even through a screen.

In-Clinic Support at Glow Health & Wellness

For those who prefer in-person care, our Destin clinic offers a welcoming environment where Casey can evaluate your progress, adjust treatment, and coordinate supportive services such as:

• IV drips for hydration, energy, or nutrient support
• Injections
• Peptide therapy
• Hormone optimization (women & men)
• Functional medicine consultations

What Results Can You Expect?

Results vary depending on each patient’s biology, but most people experience:

• Noticeable fat loss
• Improved muscle tone
• Reduced cravings
• Better sleep
• Higher energy
• Better insulin sensitivity
• Increased confidence
• Improved mood and focus
• Less bloating
• Better digestion

Because your plan targets the root causes, results often extend far beyond weight loss and patients feel healthier, more balanced, and more in control of their lives.

Sustainable Weight Maintenance

After weight loss is achieved, we continue to support patients through a maintenance plan that includes:

• Monitoring hormones
• Optimizing thyroid function
• Supporting metabolism
• Guidance on nutrition and movement
• Long-term medication strategy if needed
• Continued coaching and accountability

This ensures you not only lose the weight, but you keep it off.
