Personalized medical weight loss, GLP-1 therapy, nutrition coaching, and metabolic care for men and women.
When Diet and Exercise Aren’t Enough
You’re eating better, staying active, and putting in the effort, but the scale isn’t reflecting the work you’re doing. Weight is complex, and factors like metabolism, hormones, muscle mass, sleep, stress, medications, and other health conditions can all play a role.
Medical weight loss looks beyond calories alone to understand what may be making weight loss harder and determine what support is appropriate for you.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR METABOLIC HEALTH
At High Country Wellness, we start with a medical evaluation to understand the bigger picture and determine whether GLP-1 therapy or another approach to medical weight management may be appropriate.

FAQs About Medical Weight Loss
GLP-1 medications work by helping regulate the way your body controls hunger and metabolism. They reduce appetite, help you feel full longer, slow stomach emptying, and improve blood sugar regulation. When combined with healthy nutrition, strength training, and lifestyle changes, they can be an effective tool for sustainable weight loss.
That’s why our Metabolic Foundation Program includes more than GLP-1 medication. You’ll also have health coaching visits to help you set realistic goals, understand your nutrition, and make exercise and lifestyle changes that support your progress.
Medical weight loss is a personalized approach to weight management supervised by a medical provider. At High Country Wellness, we consider your health history, lab results, body composition, lifestyle, and goals to develop a treatment plan that may include GLP-1 medication, health coaching, nutrition and lifestyle support, and ongoing medical monitoring.
At High Country Wellness, medical weight loss is about more than getting a prescription. You receive ongoing medical care with individualized dosing based on your needs and progress, along with one-on-one health and nutrition coaching, access to our supplement bank, and regular support throughout treatment. We also look at the bigger picture- including your hormone health-and can incorporate hormone therapy into your treatment plan when appropriate.
Weight loss can include both body fat and lean mass, which is why we include ongoing nutrition and health coaching. At High Country Wellness, body composition tracking, adequate nutrition, strength-focused activity, and ongoing medical support can help us monitor your progress with the goal of supporting healthy body composition as you lose weight.
Hormonal changes can be one of many factors that affect weight, metabolism, muscle mass, appetite, sleep, and body composition. That’s why we also look at your hormone health as part of the bigger picture when creating your personalized weight loss plan.

GLP-1 medications may be appropriate for adults who struggle with weight resistance, appetite regulation, or metabolic imbalance. Eligibility is determined through a consultation and medical evaluation.
Not necessarily. Some people continue long-term, while others gradually reduce or discontinue their medication over time. We’ll work with you to develop a long-term plan based on your goals, your progress, and your overall health.
We are a direct-pay practice and do not bill insurance for office visits. This allows us to spend more time with each patient and provide personalized, comprehensive care without the limitations often imposed by insurance companies.
When prescribed appropriately and monitored by experienced providers, GLP-1 medications are considered safe for many individuals. Ongoing check-ins and adjustments help ensure safety and effectiveness.
Many services may be eligible for HSA or FSA use. We recommend confirming eligibility with your plan administrator.
