How it works...
Losing weight isn’t easy, and it may take time for your body to react to your lifestyle changes. Losing weight isn’t about the latest fad diet or starving yourself; it’s about long-term changes that include:
Exercise
Being physically active is a vital component of losing weight. You don’t have to run a marathon or work out for hours every day. Adding 30 minutes of physical activity into your daily routine increases your chances of weight loss and a healthier mind and body.
Diet
Your diet plays the most significant role in your weight loss success. At Sage Wellness and Medspa, Ms. Gonzalez offers customized diet plans to help you shed excess weight effectively. You should steer clear of heavily processed foods and refined carbohydrates. To lose weight, modify your diet to include lean proteins, plenty of fruits and vegetables, and focus on hydration.
Medications
Sometimes, diet and exercise aren’t enough to lose weight. In this case, Ms. Gonzalez may prescribe medications to help you initiate long-term weight loss, improve your diet, and add exercise.
OUR PROCESS
Your medical weight loss program will be charged on a monthly basis. The length of time you will need is dependent on your weight loss goals discussed during your initial consultation. Your monthly package includes your initial assessment, weekly visits for support, weight ins, diet and exercise plans, prescription medication and more.

Medical Weight Loss Benefits
- Lowers BMI
Losing weight when your body mass index (BMI) exceeds the recommended height and weight is crucial. According to the CDC, even a modest weight loss of 5%-10% of your weight significantly improves your health.
- Regulates Hunger
Weight loss injections communicate with the part of your brain that controls the feeling of being full and satisfied. This helps regulate how much you eat. Paired with custom diet plans, you'll fuel your body with what it needs to succeed.
- Slows Digestion
Weight loss injections slow down how quickly food is digested in your stomach, which helps you feel fuller and satisfied for a longer period of time. With less intense feelings of hunger, you'll slow your caloric intake.
- Fights Chronic Medical Problems
When you’re overweight or obese, you’re at risk for several chronic diseases. The excess weight you’re carrying around puts extra stress on your body and your organs, leading to chronic medical problems, such as Sleep Apnea, Type 2 Diabetes, heart Disease, Osteoarthritis, High Cholesterol, and High Blood Pressure.
- Provides Real Results
It's time to stop relying on will power alone only to end up resorting back to old habits. Sage Wellness and Medspa medical weight loss plans help you discover a new, lower weight in just 1 month!

Treatment Tips
- Drink plenty of water prior to your treatment. Extra hydration can help reduce the chances of nausea that some may experience on medication.
- Nervous for your first time? Bring a friend! Friends help friends stay accountable on their weight loss journey, and they may even be inspired to join you.
- Avoid fatty foods, processed foods, and foods with added sugar before and after your treatment. These can be the toughest for your body to digest.
- Keep alcohol to a minimum, or not at all. Alcohol can irritate your stomach while taking weight loss medication and can also influence your blood sugar levels.
- You are not a candidate for these injections if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Do not take other medications during the time of using weight loss medication unless they have been discussed with our team.
