Medical Weight Loss
A physician-led weight loss program that goes beyond a prescription. Brand-name tirzepatide is usually the starting point, and your plan also takes on what’s been holding you back: gut and liver health, pain that keeps you from moving, hormones, sleep and the emotional side of eating.

Our Approach
Losing weight and keeping it off is complicated. Medication helps, but the goal is a stronger, more energetic body, not just a smaller number on the scale.
That’s why Dr. St. Marie looks at your gastrointestinal and liver health, metabolism and hormone balance, along with the aches and injuries that keep you from being active, and uses osteopathic treatment to help you move comfortably again.
Your Plan
The preferred first choice, prescribed as the brand-name, FDA-approved medication (Mounjaro or Zepbound). It’s never compounded here.
Case by case, tesamorelin for stubborn abdominal fat or bupropion (Wellbutrin) for cravings and appetite.
Fast weight loss on GLP-1 medications can take muscle with it. Strength guidance, protein targets and, when it helps, a growth-hormone peptide protect lean mass.
Digestion, liver health and nutrition are part of the plan from day one, because they shape how your body stores and burns fuel.
Osteopathic treatment for the back, hip and knee pain that makes exercise hard, so you can move more comfortably.
Stress and emotional eating are real, and they’re addressed as part of your care, not left for you to handle alone.
Getting Started
A short call to talk through your goals and history and see whether we’re the right fit.
A full history and exam with the lab work your plan depends on, including metabolic and hormone markers.
Medication if it fits, plus nutrition, movement, muscle protection and the other pieces that matter for you.
Regular check-ins to track progress, adjust doses and keep your plan working.
Questions
No. Tirzepatide is prescribed here as the brand-name, FDA-approved medication (Mounjaro or Zepbound).
Fast weight loss can take muscle with it, which is why your plan includes strength guidance and protein targets, and can include a growth-hormone peptide to help protect lean mass.
The practice doesn’t bill commercial insurance, so visits are self-pay. Whether your pharmacy plan covers brand-name tirzepatide depends on your insurance.
That’s one of the reasons this program is different. Osteopathic treatment for back, hip and knee pain is part of your care, so you can be more active as you lose weight.
