At our Health and Wellness Center in Nyack, NY, we offer a personalized Medical Weight Loss Program designed to help you lose weight safely and effectively — with real medical support every step of the way. This program is not a one-size-fits-all plan or crash diet. It’s a science-backed, doctor-monitored approach tailored to your body, your goals, and your health.
Our program is built on three powerful treatment options: Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and oral weight loss medications. After a full health assessment, we work with you to find the best path forward based on your needs, medical history, and lifestyle.
Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication originally used for diabetes but now widely used to support weight loss. It works by helping you feel full longer and reducing cravings. Given through a once-weekly injection, it’s a great option for those struggling with portion control or emotional eating. Many patients experience steady, healthy weight loss when Semaglutide is paired with lifestyle adjustments.
Tirzepatide is one of the latest advancements in medical weight loss. It helps regulate blood sugar and appetite by mimicking two natural hormones in your body. This dual-action medication is especially helpful for patients with insulin resistance or metabolic issues. Like Semaglutide, it’s given as a weekly injection and is doctor-prescribed and monitored for safety and results.
For those who prefer pills over injections, we also offer oral weight loss medications that support appetite control, metabolism, and fat reduction. These treatments can be ideal for patients who are just beginning their weight loss journey or need a more flexible option. All oral plans are prescribed based on your health profile and adjusted as needed to ensure they’re working effectively for you.
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are part of a class of medications known as incretin mimetics, specifically GLP-1 receptor agonists (and GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists in the case of Tirzepatide). These medications work by mimicking natural gut hormones that help regulate blood sugar and appetite. They assist the pancreas in producing more insulin while also reducing glucose production in the liver, helping the body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
GLP-1 medications also influence the brain’s appetite centers, helping regulate hunger and food intake. They slow down digestion, which leads to a feeling of fullness that lasts longer—naturally resulting in smaller portions and reduced calorie intake. Over time, this can support meaningful and sustainable weight loss.
When combined with a calorie-conscious diet and regular physical activity, these medications may also lower the risk of serious health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers.
This treatment is generally recommended for individuals with a BMI of 27 or higher who have at least one weight-related condition (such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes), or for those with a BMI of 30 or above.
With our doctor-guided weight loss program using Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and a personalized wellness plan, many patients are able to achieve and maintain 15–20% body weight loss per year.
Semaglutide works on the GLP-1 hormone, while Tirzepatide works on both GLP-1 and GIP, offering a dual benefit. Both are available as part of our safe and supportive medical weight loss program at our Health and Wellness Center in Nyack, NY.
What We Offer:
Medications Available:

Medical weight loss is a physician-supervised approach to weight management that combines medical expertise with personalized plans. It often includes nutritional counseling, exercise recommendations, behavioral therapy, and, when appropriate, prescription medications to assist with weight reduction.
Unlike commercial diets or over-the-counter supplements, medical weight loss programs are tailored to the individual’s health status and needs. They are overseen by healthcare professionals who monitor progress and adjust treatments to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Individuals who have struggled with weight loss through traditional methods, have a body mass index (BMI) over 30, or have weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or hypertension may benefit from a medical weight loss program.
Our comprehensive program may include:
When prescribed and monitored by a qualified healthcare provider, weight loss medications can be a safe and effective component of a comprehensive weight loss plan. We assess each patient’s medical history to determine the most appropriate treatment.
Weight loss varies by individual, depending on factors like starting weight, adherence to the program, and metabolic rate. On average, patients may lose 5-10% of their body weight over six months.
The duration varies based on individual goals and progress. Some patients may achieve their desired weight in a few months, while others may participate in the program for a year or longer for sustained weight management.
Coverage depends on your insurance provider and plan. Some aspects of the program, like consultations and certain medications, may be covered. We recommend checking with your insurer for specific details.
