We support patients in Las Cruces, NM with personalized plans, close provider guidance, and access to medications that can make a meaningful difference when lifestyle changes alone are not enough.

What Is Medical Weight Loss?
Medical weight loss is a provider-supervised program designed to help patients achieve and maintain a healthy weight through evidence-based strategies. It goes beyond traditional dieting by addressing the underlying factors that contribute to weight gain, including metabolic function, hormonal health, and behavioral patterns.
How Our Weight Loss Program Works
- We start with a health evaluation including labs, weight history, and a review of your goals.
- Your provider creates a personalized plan that may include nutrition guidance, lifestyle recommendations, and medication options.
- We monitor your progress with regular check-ins and adjust your plan as needed.
- We address any health conditions that may be affecting your ability to lose weight.
This is not a quick fix. It is a sustainable approach with real support behind it.
Weight Loss Options We May Discuss
Depending on your health and goals, your plan may include:
- GLP-1 receptor agonist medications such as semaglutide
- Nutritional and dietary counseling
- Metabolic and hormonal evaluation
- Medication review to identify any weight-contributing prescriptions
- Regular monitoring and accountability check-ins
Your provider will walk you through all available options and help you decide what makes sense for your situation.

A medically supervised weight loss program gives you a team on your side, not just a plan on a page. Provider oversight helps ensure your approach is safe, sustainable, and tailored to what your body actually needs to respond.
Is medical weight loss different from dieting on my own?
Yes. Medical weight loss involves provider oversight, lab-based evaluation, and access to tools like prescription medications that are not available through standard diet programs. It is a more comprehensive and personalized approach.
Do I have to take medication?
No. Medication is one option, not a requirement. Your provider will discuss all available approaches and let you decide what feels right for your goals and lifestyle.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Results vary depending on your starting point, health conditions, and how consistently you follow your plan. Your provider will set realistic expectations based on your individual situation.
Is this program covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on your insurance plan. Some components may be covered, while others, including certain medications, may not be. Our team can help you understand what to expect.
