Weight Management
A planyou cankeep
Medically supervised weight care built on GLP-1 therapy and our Clean Start ketogenic and intermittent fasting protocol. We look at the whole picture, then build something sustainable around your body and your life.
How GLP-1 therapy works
GLP-1 medications work with a hormone your gut already makes after meals, the one that tells your brain you have had enough. By gently quieting appetite, slowing digestion, and steadying the signals around hunger and fullness, they make it easier to eat in a way that matches your goals instead of fighting your body all day.
Two options lead the field. Semaglutide acts on a single appetite pathway. Tirzepatide works on two related pathways at once. Both are taken as a small weekly injection, and Dr. Ijaola will help you decide which fits your history and your goals.
- Quieter appetite and fewer intrusive food thoughts, so portions fall into place naturally
- A steady, gradual pace rather than a crash, which tends to hold better over time
- Dosing that starts low and adjusts with you, guided by how you actually feel
The food side of the plan
Clean Start, our ketogenic and intermittent fasting protocol
Medication opens the door. What you do at the table keeps it open. Clean Start pairs a ketogenic approach with intermittent fasting so your body shifts toward burning fat for fuel, with real food you can buy at any grocery store rather than packaged meals or shakes.
It begins with a medical history review and lab work, because a plan should be built on your numbers, not a template. From there you get a clear protocol, a guidebook, and a provider in your corner every step of the way.
Consultation
We talk through your history, your goals, and what has and has not worked before. No judgment, just a starting point.
Labs and review
Bloodwork and a medical history review confirm the plan is safe and right for you before anything begins.
Your protocol
GLP-1 therapy where appropriate, paired with the Clean Start ketogenic and fasting plan, built around your life.
Check-ins
Regular visits to adjust dosing, troubleshoot, and keep momentum. This is a relationship, not a handoff.
An honest word
This is a tool, not a shortcut
GLP-1 therapy is intended for people whose weight is affecting their health, not for dropping a few pounds before an event. It works best as part of a longer plan, and like any medication it can come with side effects, most commonly mild and digestive, which tend to ease as your body adjusts.
Whether it is the right fit is a medical decision we make together. That is what the consultation is for. Individual results vary, and a healthy routine is what makes any result last.
Common questions
Do I have to take medication to join?
No. Clean Start can stand on its own, and some people do beautifully with the ketogenic and fasting plan alone. GLP-1 therapy is offered where it makes medical sense and you want it.
Is this safe long term?
GLP-1 medications have been studied extensively and are generally well tolerated under supervision. We monitor you with regular visits and labs, and we adjust as needed. Your full history is part of that conversation.
What about the HCG program you used to offer?
We have retired HCG. Our weight care now centers on GLP-1 therapy and the Clean Start ketogenic and intermittent fasting protocol, which reflect where the evidence and our patients' results have led us.
How soon will I see change?
Most people notice appetite changes early, with weight following gradually over the weeks. We aim for a steady pace that holds, rather than a fast drop that rebounds. Results vary from person to person.
