Medical Weight Loss & GLP-1 Therapy in Englewood, FL
Physician-supervised weight loss combining GLP-1 medications, hormone optimization, personalized nutrition, and lifestyle coaching. In collaboration with Dr. Sklar, M.D.
Safe, effective, and tailored to your body — not a one-size-fits-all diet.
Why Medical Weight Loss Works
Most diets fail because they ignore the underlying biological, hormonal, and metabolic factors that drive weight gain. Our program, developed in collaboration with Dr. Sklar, M.D., is not a diet — it is a comprehensive medical approach that identifies and treats the root causes of your weight struggles.
We start with a full medical evaluation, including hormone panels, metabolic markers, and a review of your health history. Then we build a personalized plan that may include GLP-1 receptor agonist medications (like semaglutide), hormone optimization, anti-inflammatory nutrition, and targeted lifestyle modifications.
Every patient is different. Some struggle with insulin resistance. Others have thyroid dysfunction, low testosterone, or estrogen dominance. Many have tried every diet and gym routine without lasting success. We find out why your body resists weight loss, and we fix it.
What is GLP-1 Therapy?
GLP-1 receptor agonists are FDA-approved medications that have revolutionized medical weight loss. They work with your body's natural biology — not against it.
How GLP-1 Medications Work
- Slow gastric emptying — you feel full longer and eat less naturally
- Regulate appetite signals in the brain, reducing cravings and food noise
- Improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control
- Target visceral fat — the dangerous fat around organs linked to disease
- Preserve lean muscle mass better than traditional dieting alone
Is GLP-1 Right for You?
GLP-1 therapy is ideal for adults with a BMI of 30+ (or 27+ with weight-related conditions like hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or sleep apnea) who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone.
"GLP-1 medications are not a magic pill — they are a powerful tool that, when combined with proper nutrition, movement, and medical oversight, can produce transformative and sustainable results."
— Dr. Sklar, M.D.
Medical Supervision is Non-Negotiable
GLP-1 medications require a prescription and ongoing medical monitoring. Side effects like nausea, digestive changes, and rare complications must be managed by a qualified physician. Our program includes regular follow-ups, dosage adjustments, and full metabolic monitoring to keep you safe while maximizing results.
We do NOT prescribe GLP-1s without a comprehensive medical evaluation and ongoing supervision.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormonal imbalance is one of the most overlooked causes of weight gain, fatigue, low libido, brain fog, and mood changes. As we age, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormone, and cortisol can drift out of optimal range — often without obvious symptoms until the damage is done.
In partnership with Dr. Sklar, M.D., we offer comprehensive hormone testing and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) tailored to your labs, symptoms, and goals.
Low Testosterone
Fatigue, low muscle mass, weight gain, low libido
Thyroid Dysfunction
Slow metabolism, cold intolerance, hair loss, weight gain
Estrogen Dominance
Bloating, mood swings, stubborn fat, sleep issues
Cortisol Imbalance
Stress belly, anxiety, sugar cravings, poor sleep

Maintenance Transition
As you reach goals, we taper medications gradually and lock in sustainable habits for lasting results.
Candidacy & Safety
GLP-1 therapy is powerful and safe for most people — but not everyone is a candidate. We screen carefully.
Good Candidates
- BMI 30 or higher, or BMI 27+ with weight-related health conditions
- Adults who have struggled with diet and exercise alone
- Patients with insulin resistance or prediabetes
- Those with no history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN2
- Patients willing to commit to medical supervision and follow-ups
Not Candidates
- Personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC)
- Multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN2)
- Current pregnancy or breastfeeding
- History of pancreatitis or severe gastrointestinal disease
- Type 1 diabetes or diabetic retinopathy complications
A full medical evaluation by Dr. Sklar, M.D. is required before any prescription. We will review your complete health history, current medications, and lab results to determine the safest and most effective approach for you.
What Results Can You Expect?
Clinical trials for semaglutide (Wegovy / Ozempic) show average weight loss of 15-20% of total body weight over 68 weeks — roughly 30-50 pounds for many patients. Tirzepatide (Mounjaro / Zepbound) has shown even stronger results in trials.
But numbers on a scale are not the whole story. Our patients report:
- Reduced hunger and food cravings within the first 2-4 weeks
- Improved energy, mental clarity, and mood
- Better sleep quality and reduced inflammation
- Normalized blood sugar and improved cholesterol profiles
- Significant fat loss while preserving muscle mass
- Reduced joint pain and improved mobility
"The patients who see the best long-term results are the ones who use GLP-1 medications as a tool alongside real lifestyle change — not a replacement for it. That is why we combine medication with nutrition, movement, and habit coaching."
— Dr. Sklar, M.D.
