GLP-1
Medications such as semaglutide mimic a natural hormone that signals fullness, slows digestion, and helps regulate blood sugar, making it easier to eat less.

Medically guided weight loss that fits your life
Losing weight isn’t simply a matter of willpower. Hormones, metabolism, sleep, stress, and genetics all influence appetite and how the body stores fat. When diet and exercise alone haven’t worked, medical support can make a real difference.
At our Newton office, we combine modern medications such as GLP-1 therapies with lipotropic injections, nutritional guidance, and regular check-ins. Your plan is built around your health, your goals, and the habits that will help you keep the weight off.
