Weight Loss

As a society, we are experiencing chronic diseases at unprecedented rates, despite advancements in medicine. This unfortunate irony is primarily due to our lifestyle and nutritional choices. In response, Baker Health has developed a Weight Loss Program, which integrates medical guidance with fitness, nutrition, and comprehensive lab testing. Our approach emphasizes the importance of using medicine as needed, alongside a focus on healthy lifestyle changes.

We offer in-house compounded semaglutide injections that reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness for $100 per week, scheduled at your convenience. We start with a low dose of 0.25 mg for the first week and discuss its effectiveness, side effects, and dosage adjustments during each weekly appointment.
