Achieve Your Weight Loss Goals
At Body by Barker, we know that maintaining a healthy weight is about much more than diet and exercise alone. Weight gain and difficulty losing weight can be influenced by a variety of medical, hormonal, and lifestyle factors. Our Medical Weight Loss Program is designed to identify what’s truly going on in your body — and to create a personalized plan that works for you.
Two Options for Your Weight Loss Journey
We offer two consultation options to meet your needs and goals:
1. Weight Loss–Only Consultation
If you’re ready to begin your weight loss journey right away, our Weight Loss–Only Consult provides a focused approach to managing weight.
During this visit, we’ll:
Review your medical history and current health goals
Discuss evidence-based weight management medications that may support your progress
Develop a personalized plan including lifestyle and nutrition strategies
Schedule follow-up visits for continued monitoring and support
This is an excellent choice for patients who have already explored their health background and want to move directly into a medically guided weight loss plan.
2. Comprehensive Weight Loss Consultation with Lab Work
For a deeper, more investigative approach, our Comprehensive Weight Loss Consultation includes lab testing to uncover possible underlying causes of weight gain or difficulty losing weight.
Common contributing factors we often evaluate include:
Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid)
Hormone imbalances, such as estrogen or testosterone irregularities
Insulin resistance or early metabolic dysfunction
Cortisol imbalance related to chronic stress
Vitamin deficiencies or other metabolic concerns
With these insights, we develop a targeted, individualized treatment plan that addresses the root causes of weight issues while incorporating effective medical weight management strategies.

Advanced Weight Loss Solutions
Other Prescription Weight Loss Options
At Body by Barker, we recognize that GLP-1s are not the right fit for everyone — and we offer several other clinically proven options to support your weight loss journey. Our medical team may recommend additional FDA-approved medications such as:
Contrave® (naltrexone/bupropion) – helps reduce appetite and control cravings.
Phentermine – a short-term appetite suppressant that can jump-start weight loss when used under medical supervision.
Qsymia® (phentermine/topiramate) – combines appetite control with enhanced satiety for effective results.
Frequently Asked Questions

These medications activate hormone receptors in the brain and stomach to suppress appetite, reduce cravings, and improve metabolic function.

Some patients notice weight loss after the first injection, while others may require higher doses to sustain results.
What are the common side effects?
Mild side effects include nausea and constipation. Our providers work with you to minimize any discomfort.
Will I regain the weight after stopping the medication?
With a gradual weaning schedule recommended by our providers, most patients maintain their results without rapid weight regain.
How long will I need to be on this medication?
The duration varies by individual and weight loss goals. Many patients achieve significant results within a year, including a weaning phase.
Are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide safe for everyone?
