What it is
Medical weight management is an individualized program: a medical evaluation, nutrition and lifestyle guidance, and prescription medication when it's appropriate for you.
When medication fits, Dra. García may prescribe semaglutide or tirzepatide, which may reduce hunger and help you feel full sooner. Your plan also looks at nutrition, keeping muscle, physical activity and long-term maintenance.
It's ongoing medical care, not a crash diet, and results vary.
