Physician-Supervised Weight Loss in Draper, Utah

Real medical supervision

A provider reviews your history and labs, sets dosing, and adjusts as you progress. Side effects are managed, not ignored.

GLP-1 done properly

Semaglutide and tirzepatide programs with a titration schedule and nutrition guidance, so results hold.

Integrated with the rest of your health

Hormone and metabolic optimization available in the same clinic when relevant to your goals.

GLP-1 medication is only half the program

Semaglutide and tirzepatide are genuinely effective — they quiet the food noise, slow gastric emptying, and make a calorie deficit sustainable in a way willpower alone rarely is. But the medication is a tool, not a plan. The difference between patients who keep the weight off and those who rebound usually comes down to everything around the injection: a sensible titration schedule, enough protein to protect muscle, resistance training, and a provider actually watching the labs.

Our Draper program is built around that supervision. A provider reviews your history and baseline bloodwork, sets your starting dose, and adjusts it as you go — moving up only as fast as your body tolerates, managing nausea and other side effects instead of leaving you to tough them out. This is not a mail-order vial and a guess.

Protecting muscle while you lose fat

The honest downside of rapid weight loss on any GLP-1 is that some of what you lose can be lean muscle, not just fat. That is the thing a good medical program is designed to prevent. We emphasize adequate protein intake and strength work, and because Elements is a full medical clinic, we can layer in peptide therapy or hormone optimization when your labs and goals call for it — support that helps preserve lean mass and metabolic rate as the scale moves.

The aim is a body-composition change you can hold onto, not a number that snaps back the moment you stop the medication.

What the first few months look like

You start with a consult and baseline labs. Once your provider clears you, you begin at a low dose and titrate up on a schedule, with regular check-ins to adjust dosing and troubleshoot side effects. Most patients feel appetite changes within the first week or two and see steady, sustainable loss over the following months — many reach 15–20% of body weight over roughly a year, though your starting point and adherence matter.

Because this is real medical care, we are also watching for the things that matter beyond weight: your energy, your bloodwork, and how the program fits with the rest of your health. If something needs to change, your provider changes it.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Many patients on GLP-1 therapy lose 15–20% of body weight over roughly 12 months, with individual results varying based on adherence, starting point, and whether you pair it with strength training and adequate protein.

What medications do you use?

Primarily semaglutide and tirzepatide (GLP-1 receptor agonists), selected and dosed by your provider after review of your history and labs.

How much does the program cost?

Pricing depends on the medication and dose. We quote your program transparently after your consult and review it with you before you start — no hidden add-ons.

Do I need labs first?

In most cases yes — baseline labs let us prescribe safely, rule out contraindications, and track your progress over time.

Will I lose muscle?

Some lean-mass loss is a known risk with any rapid weight loss. Our program is built to limit it: emphasis on protein and resistance training, plus optional peptide and hormone support when appropriate, so more of what you lose is fat.

What happens when I stop the medication?

Weight can return if the habits behind it do not change, which is exactly why we build nutrition, training, and metabolic support into the program rather than relying on the injection alone. Your provider will map a maintenance plan with you.
