Advanced Age Management Medical Weight Loss in Cleveland, Akron & Medina
Medical weight loss is highly desired for individuals struggling to lose weight through diet, exercise, and supplements. Unlike fad diets or one-size-fits-all programs, medical weight loss is a physician-supervised approach that uses new highly effective & safe medications to acheive real results while improving overall health, body mass, and metabolic function. Many patients seek medical weight loss not only to improve appearance, but also to address concerns such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, elevated blood sugar, inflammation, fatty liver, sleep apnea, and obesity.
In recent years, GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP medications have transformed how medical weight loss is delivered, offering effective, non-surgical solutions with far less side effects than previous weight loss medications when properly medically managed.
Effective Strategies and Treatment Options for Medical Weight Loss
Designed to work with optimal nutrition, exercise and healthy lifestyle, the new class of weight loss medications are more effective than ever before, delivering a reliable 15-20% weight loss without the side effects of previous medications. It’s common for patients with high BMIs to lose 30-50 pounds and more if needed. These medications target appetite regulation, insulin resistance, blood sugar control, inflammation and help patients to feel fuller when eating. Patients often say the medication “stops the food noise” so they are not as hungry and have less cravings for sugars and alcohol.
Commonly prescribed medical weight loss drugs at Advanced Age Management include:
- Ozempic® (semaglutide)
- Wegovy® (semaglutide)
- Zepbound® (tirzepatide)
- Mounjaro® (tirzepatide)
- Pharmacy compounded weight loss combination medicines
These peptide medications work by mimicking natural hormones involved in hunger and metabolism, helping patients feel full sooner and reduce cravings. When combined with health diet & exercise, patients experience significant and sustainable weight loss of 15-20%, as seen in medical studies. We provide basic nutrition counseling on the initial visit and have a degreed nutrition/weight loss expert for patients that need personalized nutrition & exercise plans. Our medical professionals determine the proper individualized dose and titration schedules to minimize any GI side effects. We also help patients shift to lower maintenance doses after weight loss goals have been achieved. Medications provided only by licensed US pharmacies. We strongly advocate against non US licensed pharmacy products & research grade peptides.

Who Is a Candidate for Medical Weight Loss Treatment?
Medical weight loss may be appropriate for adults who:
- Have a high body mass BMI/obesity
- Are overweight and have additional medical risk
- Struggle with weight-related conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, elevated blood sugar, insulin resistance, sleep apnea, fatty liver
- Have not achieved results with diet, exercise and supplements alone
- Desire a non-surgical alternative to surgical weight loss procedures
A full medical evaluation with body composition and measurement of vital biometrics is required to determine eligibility and create the right plan for each patient.
What Are GLP-1 & GLP-1/GIP Peptides?
GLP-1 & GLP-1/GIP peptides are medications that mimic glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone naturally produced in the body. GLP-1 helps regulate appetite, slow digestion, and control blood sugar levels. Newer medications, such as tirzepatide, also target GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide), enhancing metabolic effects and improving weight loss outcomes.
By activating GLP-1 and GIP receptors, these medications help patients feel fuller longer, reduce calorie intake, and reduce blood sugar—key factors in long-term weight loss success.
Weight Loss at Advanced Age Management
Weight loss can become more challenging with age due to changes in metabolism, loss of muscle mass, and declining hormone levels. Our medical weight loss program is highly effective for adults to safely reduce body fat while protecting muscle and enhancing overall health.
