Millions of patients across Utah and the entire U.S., have been stuck in a frustrating loop where they diet, lose some weight only to rapidly gain it back. Have you tried dieting? Maybe counted calories? Perhaps you have tried some restrictive eating? And maybe you even exercise? Most of you are frustrated that the results that are achieved with the various dieting programs or exercise routines, are simply not sustainable. Many times even the body seems to fight against losing weight. It may have seemed like weight loss wasn’t possible for the patient or that they just weren’t disciplined enough to achieve weight loss. But the truth is, it really has to do with the biology and hormone and metabolism of the individual. In short, we’ve changed the game when it comes to medically supported weight loss for the future.

GLP-1 Therapies are available through Utah Medical Weight Loss Clinic and Salt Lake City GLP-1 Physician Prescribers, MD Diet.

MD Diet Weight Loss & Nutrition is a 46-year-old Salt Lake City GLP-1 weight loss clinic. The MD Diet Weight Loss and Nutrition is familiar with all the fads of losing weight, and all the new breakthrough in science and we are proud to bring the breakthrough in the next 100 years of weight loss. The breakthrough in medical science is the introduction of GLP-1, which is the Glucagon-Like-Peptide-1, and GIP, a Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide. These medical drugs are prescribed by a Salt Lake GLP-1 Physician Prescriber such as Semaglutide, known under the trade name as Ozempic® and Wegovy® and Tirzepatide, Mounjaro® and Zepbound®.

All of our Salt Lake City Medical Weight Loss programs are done by physicians, meaning that they are prescribed to the patient under strict physician guidance, and are not “diet pills”. These GLP-1 and GIP therapies are powerful tools that help your body lose massive amounts of weight and maintain the weight loss long term. All the GLP-1 therapies and weight loss programs that we offer here at MD Diet are done by our team of Salt Lake City weight loss physicians and are not a website that does an online consultation or some MedSpa or weight loss center that has little medical support. We are a physician-led Medical Weight Loss Clinic in Utah.

What are Semaglutide & Tirzepatide for weight loss?

The medical drugs Semaglutide (Ozempic® and Wegovy®) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro® and Zepbound®) are both GLP-1 medications and act like natural hormones within the body to significantly decrease appetite and food cravings and assist in regulating blood sugar levels to maintain weight. GLP-1 is a hormone released by your gut after eating to communicate satiety to your brain and to slow gastric emptying which helps with a sensation of “feeling full”. Tirzepatide is an injectable that works on both GLP-1 and a GIP (Glucagon-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide). When these medications are used, your body is mimicking the normal hormones it produces when you eat. By doing this, patients notice that their cravings for food and constant sense of hunger is controlled much easier for the patients, and this allows the patient to adhere to a lower-calorie diet without the constant battle of food cravings. Studies have shown with Tirzepatide, 15% to 22% total body weight loss clinically has been shown in studies.

It is the GLP-1 weight loss medication, that is a huge breakthrough. However, when it is paired with a Medically Supervised Weight Loss program and monitored by your Salt Lake physician who is knowledgeable in weight loss medicine, the patient will experience the breakthrough results for which they are seeking! MD Diet Weight Loss & Nutrition boasts a comprehensive care approach that is safe, effective, and results-oriented. When you undergo GLP-1 Weight Loss Treatments with our Salt Lake City Weight Loss doctor and clinic, you will have:

  • Bioanalysis conducted before medications are prescribed to ensure proper weight loss and metabolic needs are met.
  • Licensed MDs or NPs managing our weight loss program and monitoring your progress with a focus on safety, which is very important. This oversight ensures the medication is properly managed and effective.
  • Weekly weighing in and team support.
  • Nutrition coaching to help you create lifestyle changes to sustain your weight loss after the medication program.
  • B-vitamin injections (e.g., B12), which is an included service in our GLP-1 program to help with energy, metabolism, and general well-being.
  • Pre-filled injection for your convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions About GLP-1 Weight Loss

Q1: What are GLP-1 meds like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, and how do they actually help with weight loss? GLP-1 medications are drugs that mimic certain naturally-occurring hormones (known as GLP-1 and in the case of tirzepatide, GIP) in the human body. They work by slowing digestion to help you feel full longer, by reducing appetite, and by aiding in the regulation of blood sugar. When you take them, you typically eat fewer calories which leads to weight loss.

Q2: Is it safe to take GLP-1 meds for weight loss, and what are some common side effects? When monitored by a physician, GLP-1s are considered safe medications for effective weight loss. Some common side effects that occur with the use of GLP-1s can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. However, if you take the medication as directed and work closely with MD Diet, the side effects will be minor and generally resolve in a short time frame. MD Diet is always ready to monitor for the presence of any side effect during your program to help alleviate any problems as soon as they are detected.

Q3: Why do GLP-1 clients choose MD Diet over an online or med spa weight loss program? Many online and med spa programs are not staffed with experienced physicians and nurse practitioners who are dedicated to weight loss care. Many also lack accountability and personalized bio-analysis. At MD Diet, patients have the ability to have their treatment plans and bio-analysis adjusted for the patient’s unique body composition, and to come see us weekly for personalized weight loss accountability. Our GLP-1 patients also see nutrition counseling and are medically monitored for side effects by their physician. In addition, MD Diet is a nationally accredited, 46 year-old weight loss company, which means your treatment is being handled by the best in the industry.

Q4: How much weight can my GLP-1 meds at MD Diet help me lose? Results can vary from person to person. However, our GLP-1 medical weight loss patients lose on average 8-10 pounds a month while using GLP-1 meds through our program. Studies show a significant loss of body weight in a much higher percentage than what our clients experience at our facility. Our weight loss programs are designed for weight loss to happen and for you to be successful with your weight loss goals.

Q5: How much does an MD Diet GLP-1 program cost, and is insurance able to cover it? MD Diet offers monthly, no commitment pricing for our programs; however, pricing for our GLP-1 medical weight loss clients is discussed during your initial consultation so that your financial situation can be taken into consideration. We are currently not accepting insurance; however, we will help you to find information regarding insurance if you would like to pursue that route. We look forward to helping you with your GLP-1 weight loss at our clinic and to helping you be the healthiest you for your whole life!
