Premiere Weight Loss + Wellness is a medically managed weight loss program that connects you with a licensed healthcare team that will develop a comprehensive weight loss plan tailored to your goals. Our comprehensive evaluation includes lab work, full body scan, EKG and complete medical history.

In order to properly screen potential clients and to best calibrate your treatment plan, our medical staff requires all diagnostic testing to be performed by our staff. Your lab work includes panels specifically designed to screen for any health issues that might preclude you safely and effectively utilizing our treatment plans.

Results will vary. However, on average, most clients lose 5%-10% of total body weight in 6 weeks and 10%-15% total body weight lost after 12 weeks.

To successfully lose weight, it is essential to burn more calories than you consume. Appetite suppressants can be useful in aiding this process, as they reduce food cravings and give a sensation of satiation even when consuming fewer calories.

Our medically supervised programs feature cutting-edge diagnostics to screen for eligibility and proper dosing. Our in-person approach ensures weekly consultations, personal accountability, and ongoing recalibration of your treatment plan. Our compounded versions of semaglutide and tirzepatide are produced by leading American-based pharmacies under the strict guidance of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

These GLP-1 agonists are effective in weight loss as they delay gastric emptying, and enhance sensation of fullness, thus decreasing food intake. These agents have been successfully studied in obese, non-diabetic patients. Weight loss results can be seen as early as 1-2 weeks into treatment.

Clients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 27 should seek to lose weight through a combination of a healthy diet and exercise. GLP-1 medications can aid in this process significantly by reducing appetite and cravings. Use of GLP-1 medications is not recommended if you or any family members have ever had thyroid cancer or thyroid tumors, Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC), Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2) or have had a serious allergic reaction to semaglutide or tirzepatide. You should not start on a GLP-1 program if you are pregnant or planning on getting pregnant.

Common side effects of GLP-1 agonists may include: nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, stomach (abdomen) pain, headache, tiredness (fatigue), upset stomach, dizziness, feeling bloated, belching, gas, stomach flu and heartburn.

Phentermine is a prescription medication used to suppress appetite and aid in weight loss. It belongs to a class of drugs known as sympathomimetic amines and works by stimulating the release of certain chemicals in the brain that decrease hunger and increase feelings of fullness.

Phentermine is recommended for overweight persons with a BMI greater than 27. Phentermine is not recommended for use in individuals with a history of heart disease, high blood pressure, or glaucoma. It is also not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Heart palpitations, high blood pressure, restlessness or hyperactivity, insomnia, dry mouth constipation or diarrhea headache dizziness blurred vision nausea or vomiting and Rash or hives.
