Weight Loss in Fort Pierce

A Medical Approach to Lasting Weight Loss

Weight management is about far more than willpower. Metabolism, hormones, genetics, and chronic health conditions all play a role — and sustainable weight loss requires a plan designed around your specific biology. At Midway Primary Care in Fort Pierce, we take a physician-supervised approach that combines medical evaluation, FDA-approved medications, and individualized lifestyle guidance.

GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) have transformed medical weight loss. These medications reduce appetite, slow gastric emptying, and improve metabolic function — producing average weight reductions of 15–22% of body weight in clinical trials. We prescribe and monitor these medications as part of a comprehensive care plan.

Whether you've struggled with weight for years or recently received a BMI-related health warning, our team provides judgment-free, evidence-based support to help you reach and maintain a healthier weight.

What Our Weight Loss Program Includes

A complete, physician-led program from evaluation through long-term maintenance.

Eval

Medical Evaluation & BMI Assessment

Your provider reviews your weight history, eating patterns, activity level, and any previous weight loss attempts. We assess BMI, waist circumference, and metabolic risk. Lab work — including thyroid function, fasting glucose, HbA1c, and lipids — identifies any underlying conditions contributing to weight gain and informs your treatment plan.

GLP

GLP-1 Medication Management

For eligible patients, we prescribe GLP-1 receptor agonists including semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound). These injectable medications significantly reduce hunger and caloric intake while improving blood sugar control. We manage the dosing titration schedule, monitor for side effects, and coordinate with your pharmacy for coverage and affordability options.

Nutr

Nutritional Counseling

Medications work best when paired with sustainable dietary habits. We provide practical nutritional guidance — including caloric targets, macronutrient balance, and meal timing strategies — tailored to your preferences and lifestyle. We focus on approaches that are realistic long-term, not temporary crash diets.

Move

Physical Activity Guidance

Exercise accelerates weight loss, preserves lean muscle mass, and improves long-term weight maintenance. Your provider recommends an activity plan suited to your current fitness level and any physical limitations — from low-impact walking routines to structured progressive exercise programs as your fitness improves.

Mon

Ongoing Monitoring & Maintenance

Regular follow-up visits track your progress, adjust medications, and address any challenges. As you reach your goal weight, we transition to a maintenance plan focused on sustaining results. We also monitor the impact of weight loss on associated conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea — often allowing medication reductions as your health improves.

Who Is Medical Weight Loss For?

Our program is designed for adults who are ready for a structured, medically supervised approach to weight management.

Adults With BMI ≥ 27

GLP-1 medications are FDA-approved for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 and above with a weight-related condition such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol. We determine eligibility during your initial evaluation.

Those Who've Struggled With Diet & Exercise Alone

If you've made sincere efforts with diet and exercise but haven't been able to achieve lasting results, medical treatment may be the missing piece. Obesity is a chronic medical condition — not a lack of effort — and deserves the same treatment approach as other chronic diseases.

Patients With Weight-Related Conditions

Excess weight worsens type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular risk. Losing even 5–10% of body weight produces measurable improvements in these conditions, and our medical team coordinates care across all of them.

Anyone Seeking Long-Term Support

Quick-fix diets rarely work long-term. Our program provides ongoing medical oversight, accountability, and adjustments over months and years — the kind of sustained support that research shows is necessary for durable weight management success.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Getting started with medical weight loss is straightforward — here's how it works.

Call to Schedule a Weight Loss Consultation

Call our Fort Pierce office at (772) 742-9270 to schedule a dedicated weight loss consultation. This is a longer appointment focused specifically on your weight history, goals, and health background — not a routine physical exam.

Comprehensive Evaluation & Lab Work

Your provider reviews your BMI, metabolic health, eating patterns, and any related conditions. We order lab work including thyroid panel, HbA1c, fasting lipids, and metabolic panel to screen for underlying contributors to weight gain and confirm medication eligibility.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Based on your evaluation results, your provider builds a personalized weight loss plan. For eligible patients, this includes a GLP-1 medication prescription with a gradual dose titration schedule. You'll also receive nutritional guidance and a realistic activity recommendation matched to your starting point.

Regular Check-Ins & Progress Tracking

You'll return regularly — typically monthly at first — to track weight progress, assess medication tolerability, adjust dosing, and address any challenges. As you approach your target weight, we transition to a maintenance plan with less frequent check-ins and a focus on long-term habit reinforcement.
