Medical Weight Loss
Losing weight isn’t always as simple as eating less and moving more. For many people, underlying factors such as metabolism, hormones, and medical conditions play a significant role in how their bodies store and burn fat. Medical weight loss employs a comprehensive, science-backed approach that combines expert physician guidance, use of supervised weight loss medication, and ongoing support to help you achieve meaningful, lasting results.
Dr. Josef Hadeed and his team at his Wellness and Longevity Spa are proud to offer medical weight loss and other programs essential to achieving optimal health and wellness so you can live your best life.

Schedule A ConsultationWho Benefits From Medically Supervised Weight Loss?
A medical weight loss program can be incredibly beneficial for nearly everyone, but those who have struggled to see results with traditional dieting or exercise alone are especially good candidates.
You may benefit from medical weight loss if you:
- Have a slower metabolism or difficulty losing weight despite consistent efforts
- Are frequently hungry or have strong food cravings
- Have health conditions like insulin resistance, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes
- Are dealing with weight-related health concerns, such as high blood pressure or joint pain
- Have experienced weight gain due to hormonal changes, stress, or medications
Medical weight loss programs are also ideal for people who want a structured, medically guided approach to weight loss rather than trying to do so on their own. With the professional oversight of Dr. Hadeed’s program, you gain access to tools and treatments that are not available through standard diet plans.
Am I a Good Candidate for Medical Weight Loss?
Medical weight loss is designed for people who:
- Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) in the overweight or obese range
- Have been unable to maintain weight loss through diet and exercise alone
- Are motivated to follow a structured plan
- Are open to incorporating prescription treatments if recommended
- Want to improve their overall health, not just the number on the scale
Even if you don’t meet the overweight or obese BMI thresholds, you may still qualify if you have weight-related health concerns or specific weight loss goals.
How Does the Medical Weight Loss Program With Dr. Hadeed Work?
Comprehensive Consultation & Assessment
Your medical weight loss journey with Dr. Hadeed begins with a detailed questionnaire. You will answer questions about your medical history, current condition and concerns, and your personal weight loss goals. Using information from this detailed assessment, Dr. Hadeed will evaluate your needs and design a weight loss approach that’s specifically tailored to you.
Individualized Treatment Strategy
Once your assessment is complete, you will receive a fully customized medical weight loss plan. Depending on your needs, this may involve prescription therapies such as:
- GLP-1 medications, including semaglutide, or a combination of GLP-1 and GIP, such as tirzepatide, to help regulate your appetite and stabilize your blood sugar levels
- Metformin to support improved insulin function
- Additional medications to help boost your metabolism or minimize cravings
Using a combination of medication and lifestyle adjustments, your medical weight loss plan is designed to:
- Decrease your appetite and reduce cravings
- Enhance the efficiency of your metabolism
- Promote steady, long-term weight loss and management
Some weight loss plans may also include additional supplements, such as B12, to boost your energy levels and optimize your overall wellness. Every treatment recommendation is carefully selected based on your specific health profile needs and only prescribed when appropriate.
Personalized Oversight
When you choose medical weight loss with Dr. Hadeed, your progress is regularly tracked so that he can fine-tune your plan along the way. Whether that involves adjusting or changing your medications, adding wellness options, or guiding you into a maintenance phase once your goals are reached, you can easily reach out with questions and concerns. You can be certain you’ll receive personalized support every step of the way.
