By conducting a comprehensive health history, complete with full lab analysis and hormone testing, we can identify a safe and effective treatment regimen that will help you successfully lose weight!

GLP-1 Medications: Fight Weight With Biology
GLP-1 medications target essential metabolic pathways to support sustained weight loss, which is different than older drug classes like phentermine. At EliteBio, I prescribe various GLP-1 medications, including semaglutide and tirzepatide, which are compounded in FDA-approved compounding pharmacies.

These medications are administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection, which you can perform at home or have administered in our office. Approved by the FDA for weight loss, these medications enhance insulin secretion to improve sugar metabolism. They also slow gastric emptying, helping to reduce appetite.

Clinically proven to lower inflammation markers, GLP-1 medications decrease inflammatory responses, curb cravings, promote quicker satiety, and boost energy expenditure. (Medicare clients should consult their primary care provider for managed weight loss services, although supplement and peptide services are available for booking).

How It Works

Initial Consultation $100

During your consultation, we will review your past medical history, symptoms, and goals. You'll be required to complete several forms and questionnaires to help me better understand your needs.

Lab work must be completed prior to initiation of treatment. You may opt to bring recent labs from your primary care provider (within last 6 months), or they can be drawn at EliteBio.

The consultation fee will be applied toward your first treatment costs.

Treatment Initiation

At the start of your treatment we will review your lab results and discuss your personalized treatment plan in detail. We can also talk about in-depth hormone testing during your visit.

Each package includes medication, dietary counseling, exercise guidance, behavior modification counseling, and a discount on additional supplements.
Additionally, you can receive one Lipo-Mino or Vitamin B12 injection at no cost each month. Additional injections can be purchased at a discounted rate.

If you’re struggling to lose those extra pounds, you are not alone! Approximately 70% of American adults are considered overweight or obese. We are pleased to offer medications like semaglutide, a breakthrough treatment that has changed the landscape of weight loss solutions, delivering real results that last. Take control of your weight loss journey and reduce your risk of future health complications!

Lipo-Mino Injection

Olympia pharmacies Lipo-Mino mix starts with a special lipotropic fat burning combination of methionine, inositol, choline, carnitine, and B12. Each of these ingredients helps the body turn fat into energy and are also powerful antioxidants. In addition to the Lipotropics blend, Lipo-Mino also contains a mixture of B vitamins which further help to facilitate fat loss and increase energy. The formula is then completed by adding ingredients to reduce appetite, build muscle and promote a healthy immune system. Established weight loss clients can receive additional shots at $15.

B12 Injection

B12 is needed to form red blood cells and DNA. It is also a key playing the function and development of brain and nerve cells. Existing weight loss clients can purchase at $10 each.

$25

Glutathione Injection

The "mother of all antioxidants" is such a great detox! Want that glow back to your skin? Glutathione protects the mitochondria, ensuring cells are able to make energy the body needs. Glutathione makes sure that heavy metals, organic toxin and free radicals generated for normal metabolism do not damage the mitochondria. Without glutathione, your body would not be able to neutralize and eliminate toxins effectively. There are a number of environmental factors and medical conditions that increase your risk of deficiency. Glutathione depletion is thought to be associated with certain health conditions such as neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Parkinson's disease), and age related diseases.

$40

NAD+ 1 Vial (SQ or IM home use)

NAD and NAD+ naturally occur in the body and are crucial for energy generation, with NAD+ playing a key role in enhancing mitochondrial function, the cell's "energy powerhouses." These mitochondria convert macronutrients into ATP, a vital energy source, and NAD helps in breaking down fats essential for energy and ATP production. Boosting NAD+ levels can manage diseases ranging from diabetes to cancer and improve mental clarity, alertness, concentration, and memory, as well as athletic endurance and symptoms of chronic fatigue. NAD therapy is especially beneficial for addiction treatment as it replenishes depleted NAD stores caused by excessive substance use, facilitating energy production in the brain. This therapy clears drugs from the system, reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings for substances like alcohol and opioids, and allows for more natural energy production without the negative side effects of other substances.

$250

In Office Weight loss/ Hormone Labs

Lab draws can either be done in office or at LabCorp. If drawn at EliteBio, labs can be billed to insurance. If drawn at LabCorp, labs must be pre-paid. Lab draws within 6 months from primary care will be accepted.

FAQs

  • Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication specifically designed for adult weight management. Semaglutide is a type of medication called a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist, which mimics the hormone GLP-1 that the body naturally produces. The breakthrough weight loss solution lowers blood sugar levels after meals. It regulates blood sugar by stimulating glucose-dependent insulin secretion.

    Semaglutide slows down the release of sugar into your blood, so your body burns more fat. It also delays stomach emptying, leaving you feeling fuller longer and limiting your overall calorie consumption.

    Several clinical studies show that weekly Semaglutide injections are highly effective at promoting weight loss. In one study, individuals treated with Semaglutide lost an average of 9-13 percent of their body weight over the course of a year without making any changes to their diet and exercise habits.

  • Most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, diarrhea, tiredness, dizziness, or constipation. Initial side effects usually lessens as you continue to use Semaglutide.

  • It’s crucial to know that semaglutide results don’t manifest right away. Having realistic expectations and attending all your treatment sessions will increase your chances of satisfactory results. Men and women who eat well, exercise, and stick to their treatment plans observe a stunning transformation.

    One way to stay motivated and observe your progress is by taking before and after photos. Session after session, you’ll see how your body is reacting to the treatment.

    Semaglutide is a promising option for those looking to lose weight. Its ability to suppress appetite, reduce cravings, and increase fullness can lead to faster weight loss. Those with Type-2 diabetes especially benefit from an extra perk—improved blood sugar control.

  • Semaglutide is ideal for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater or adults with a BMI of 27 and at least one complication related to body weight, such as hypertension, insulin resistance, high cholesterol, or heart disease.

  • Most patients will begin to see weight loss after their initial dose has increased one to two times, typically within a month.

  • Semaglutide is injected just under the skin (subcutaneously), typically in your abdomen.

  • Despite semaglutide being a good weight loss tool for many people, it's not for everyone. Certain people shouldn't take it:

    -Pregnant or breastfeeding women

    -People with a history of pancreatitis

    -People with Type-1 diabetes

    -People with an allergy to semaglutide (or any of its ingredients)

    -People with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2

    Always consult a medical professional before taking semaglutide. Be open and honest about any pre-existing conditions and allergies, so we can make sure it's a good fit before beginning treatment.
