Medically Supervised Weight Loss That Actually Works
Physician-supervised Semaglutide and Tirzepatide therapy at ALPHABOOST. Science-backed medication that works with your biology to control appetite, reduce cravings, and deliver lasting fat loss — without extreme diets, dangerous supplements, or sheer willpower.
You Have Not Failed at Weight Loss. Weight Loss Has Failed You.
You have tried the diets — keto, paleo, intermittent fasting, calorie counting — maybe all of them. You lost weight, gained it back, and lost a little less each time. The cycle is exhausting and demoralizing.
Here is what no one told you: the problem was never your willpower. When you restrict calories, your body fights back. Hunger hormones spike, metabolism slows, and cravings intensify. It is a biological survival mechanism — not a character flaw.
The science is clear: sustainable weight loss requires more than motivation. It requires changing the biological signals that drive hunger, fat storage, and metabolism. That is exactly what medically supervised GLP-1 therapy does.
Medical Weight Loss at ALPHABOOST

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are FDA-approved medications that mimic your body's natural fullness hormones, reduce cravings at the neurological level, and deliver sustained fat loss. You eat less because you genuinely want less — not because you are white-knuckling through another diet.

Your Path to Lasting Weight Loss
Consultation
Meet one-on-one with our physician to discuss your weight history, previous attempts, medical background, and goals. We listen first. No judgment, no pressure — just an honest assessment of whether this program is right for you.
Medical Evaluation & Labs
We run a comprehensive metabolic panel — thyroid function, insulin levels, HbA1c, lipid profile, liver and kidney markers, and hormonal baselines. These labs ensure you are a safe candidate and help us determine the optimal medication and starting dose for your body.
Medication Protocol
Your physician prescribes Semaglutide or Tirzepatide at a carefully calibrated starting dose. The medication is administered via a simple weekly injection. Dosing is gradually titrated upward over several weeks to maximize effectiveness while minimizing side effects.
Ongoing Monitoring & Adjustment
Regular follow-up appointments to track your progress, monitor labs, manage any side effects, and adjust your dosing as needed. Your physician stays involved at every stage — refining your protocol until you are achieving consistent, sustainable results.
What Medical Weight Loss Delivers
Appetite Control
GLP-1 therapy reduces hunger at the neurological level. You feel genuinely satisfied with less food — no constant battles with cravings, no white-knuckling through the day.
Sustainable Fat Loss
Clinical trials demonstrate 15-20% total body weight loss with Semaglutide and even higher with Tirzepatide. This is not water weight — it is real, measurable fat reduction.
Metabolic Improvement
Improved insulin sensitivity, better blood sugar regulation, and healthier lipid profiles. These medications address the metabolic dysfunction that makes weight loss so difficult.
Energy Boost
As excess weight comes off and metabolic function improves, patients report a significant increase in daily energy, physical endurance, and overall vitality.
Cardiovascular Health
Semaglutide has demonstrated cardiovascular benefits beyond weight loss — including reduced risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in clinical studies.
Physician Monitoring
Every step is supervised by your physician. Regular labs, dosing adjustments, and in-person check-ins ensure your protocol stays safe, effective, and optimized for your body.

Medical Weight Loss FAQ
What is Semaglutide and how does it work?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist — a class of medication that mimics a natural hormone your body produces to regulate appetite and blood sugar. It works by signaling fullness to your brain, slowing gastric emptying, and reducing the intense cravings that sabotage traditional diets. It is the same active compound found in Ozempic and Wegovy, and it is FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults.
What is the difference between Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?
Both are injectable medications administered once weekly for weight loss. Semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic class) targets the GLP-1 receptor. Tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound class) is a dual-action medication that targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which may produce greater weight loss in some patients. During your consultation, Dr. Zanbrakji will evaluate your medical history and labs to determine which medication is the best fit for your physiology and goals.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Clinical trials have demonstrated average weight loss of 15-20% of total body weight with Semaglutide, and potentially higher with Tirzepatide. Individual results vary based on starting weight, metabolic profile, adherence, and lifestyle factors. Most patients begin seeing meaningful results within the first four to eight weeks, with progressive weight loss continuing over several months as dosing is optimized.
What are the potential side effects?
The most common side effects are gastrointestinal — nausea, reduced appetite, and occasional digestive changes — and are typically mild and temporary, especially during the initial dose titration period. Our gradual dosing protocol is specifically designed to minimize these effects. Serious side effects are rare. Dr. Zanbrakji monitors your labs and symptoms at every follow-up to ensure your treatment remains safe and well-tolerated.
Do I need to follow a specific diet while on the medication?
We do not prescribe extreme or restrictive diets. The medication naturally reduces your appetite and cravings, making it easier to eat less and make better food choices without the constant struggle. Our physician will provide general nutritional guidance to help you maximize your results and maintain lean muscle mass, but this is not a meal-plan-dependent program. The medication does the heavy lifting.
Is medical weight loss covered by insurance?
Most weight loss medications are not covered by traditional insurance plans at this time. We offer transparent, competitive pricing with no hidden fees, and HSA and FSA cards are accepted. Many patients find that the cost of a physician-supervised program is comparable to — or less than — what they were spending on supplements, meal delivery services, gym memberships, and programs that never delivered lasting results.
Who is a good candidate for Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?
These medications are appropriate for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or a BMI of 27 or above with at least one weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. They are also appropriate for patients who have struggled with traditional weight loss methods and are looking for a medically supervised solution. The only way to know if you are a candidate is through a consultation and lab evaluation with our physician.
Will I regain the weight if I stop the medication?
Weight management is a long-term commitment, and the goal of our program is to help you build sustainable habits while the medication reduces the biological barriers that made weight loss so difficult. Some patients transition to a lower maintenance dose over time, while others maintain results through the lifestyle changes they developed during treatment. Dr. Zanbrakji works with you to create a long-term plan that prioritizes lasting results, not just short-term numbers.
