Redefine Weight Loss Program

Are you struggling to lose weight?
Have you tried the conventional route of diet and exercise, but haven’t gotten the results you’d hoped for?

Medical Weight Loss Injections: Research-backed & Effective
The New England Journal of Medicine published compelling results about the use of injectable medication in weight loss: Over 50% of participants who received the medication in addition to their diet and exercise program achieved weight reductions of 15% or more, compared to the control group’s less than 5% weight loss who relied on lifestyle changes alone. Average weight loss for the medical weight loss injectable group was over 33 pounds, while the control group’s average weight loss was 5.7 pounds.
How It Works
There are three simple steps to starting the Redefine Weight Loss Program in Oakland County, MI:
All potential participants must have current lab work drawn to ensure they are appropriate candidates for the program. This can be done in our Clarkston, MI office or with your PCP.
Once your blood work is done, you’ll attend a virtual consultation with one of our Nurse Practitioners (NPs) to review your lab results and health and family history to identify any potential disqualifiers from program participation.
If you qualify for the program, you’ll visit our office near Lake Orion, MI for an in-person appointment with your NP to review program objectives, discuss diet and exercise guidelines and receive your first medication injection. You’ll leave this appointment with your first full month’s supply of medication and instructions for administering.
The initial phase of the program includes weekly virtual check-ins with your NP who will monitor your progress and provide ongoing guidance and support.
For the duration of the program, you’ll attend monthly in-office appointments where your NP will assess your weight loss and provide you with the next month’s medication supply.
