How Does Semaglutide Support Weight Loss?
Originally developed to help manage type 2 diabetes, Semaglutide has proven effective in reducing body weight by mimicking GLP-1, a hormone that targets appetite control areas in the brain. This effect makes it easier to reduce calorie intake, which can lead to significant, sustained weight loss.

View full testimonial“This is the first time I feel like my efforts are paying off. I had a hard time feeling motivated to workout and eat right because it never seemed to work and I had a difficult time sticking with it. Now, it feels easy because I’m not hungry and don’t think about food much at all. I lost 7 pounds in my first month on the medication. It feels good to be in control more and focused on my family and my health.”

View full testimonial“I’ve been a firefighter over 32 years and the demands of the job definitely felt more difficult over the years. I started testosterone about 6 months ago and have felt such an improvement in my physical capability and stamina. I’m back doing 1-2 workouts per shift and had no problem climbing hillsides with my full gear at a recent brush fire. Even off the job, I’m less tired and I have energy to do things with my family. Other improvements I’ve noticed are my mood and I definitely sleep better. After all these years, I feel like a rookie again!”

View full testimonial“I suffered for over 4.5 years with debilitating perimenopausal symptoms (fatigue, brain fog, irregular periods, and hip and back pain). PA Allie Mollet took the time to listen when my other providers did not help. She developed a treatment plan with hormones that literally gave me my life back! I finally feel like myself again- energized, mentally sharp, and without joint pain. MD Total Wellness offers ongoing support and HOPE. I couldn’t be happier with the results and I’m grateful I don’t have to go it alone.”

View full testimonial“I’m in my 20’s, so I never thought my testosterone would be low. I struggled with depression, lack of motivation, poor sleep, and weight gain and my doctor suggested I have it tested along with my other yearly labs. Surprisingly, my T was very low but my insurance would not cover the testosterone he prescribed. I went to MD Total Wellness and they were great. They explained everything about my condition and options. Super easy to get appointments and affordable. I had no idea how “normal” guys my age feel until now! My workouts are better and my sleep is better. And my depression and anxiety are gone. This completely changed my life. Game changer!”

View full testimonial“I’ve been interested in the GLP-1 medications for weight loss for the last couple years. It is appealing to me how they work, by lowering hunger and appetite. After talking to Alli, I decided on tirzepatide because the weight loss results are better. My goal was to lose 20 pounds, and I’m currently down 15 pounds after 6 weeks! It’s a remarkable medication that has drastically decreased my hunger, appetite, and interest in food. It has also decreased my interest in alcohol. I’ve been tracking my calories and keeping it at 1300-1500. Normally that would be extremely difficult, but on tirzepatide it is very easy. I’ve had some mild side effects, including some nausea and abdominal discomfort when I first started, and diarrhea for a day when I increased my dose the 2nd month. Overall, I’m extremely happy with how well tirzepatide is working for me.”

I’m not eating a super restrictive diet and feel so encouraged that this is something I can keep doing long-term. The providers at MD Total Wellness are very experienced and explained obesity to me in a way I had never heard. This gave me hope. They really care and you can tell. I’m down 22 pounds in my first 3 months and counting!”

Real Patients, Real Results"Ever since I turned 50, I've felt…"
View full testimonial“Ever since I turned 50, I’ve felt some changes that I thought could be from lower testosterone. About 3-4 years ago, I talked to my primary care doctor about it, and he checked my testosterone level and told me it was normal. Over the next couple years I continued to have symptoms, which included low energy, low motivation, decreased libido, fatigue, and mildy depressed mood. Nothing major, but distinctly different than how I felt 10-15 years ago. I am a doctor, and my research seemed to suggest that my symptoms could be low testosterone, but my levels weren’t so abnormally low to warrant a diagnosis of hypogonadism. I went to a men’s health clinic (I’ve subsequently switched to MDTW) last year and got my testosterone level measured at 520. The normal range is 300-1000, but it normally goes down a little every year after 40 years old. Maybe my level was 800 when I was 35, and the decrease to the low 500’s has resulted in the symptoms I had. I felt that my body already makes testosterone, and it used to make more, so taking testosterone to increase my level back to where it was when I was younger is a very reasonable thing to try. I’ve now been on testosterone for 6 months, and I love it! I’ve noticed definite improvements in my energy, endurance, libido, sexual function, mood, and resilience. I also think my hair and skin look healthier and younger. Testosterone has definitely improved my life. I think I will almost certainly be on testosterone for the rest of my life!”

View full testimonial“I initially came in for a consultation because of my low energy, fatigue, weight gain, and low libido. I didn’t realize how using birth control pills all these years affected my testosterone and estrogen levels. I learned so much about perimenopause and the REAL causes that led to all the changes I was feeling. Don’t let anyone tell you “its just perimenopause and you have to deal with it.” You don’t. I started bioidentical hormone therapy and within days I felt an immediate improvement in my libido and energy. I felt more motivated and energized each day. I later added the GLP-1 medication to assist with weight loss and lost 16.5 pounds in the first 7 weeks.”

Bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical to the hormones our body’s naturally make. This means they function in exactly the same way as our natural hormones. Synthetic hormones (patented and sold by pharmaceutical companies) are molecularly different, and therefore function differently than our natural hormones.
FDA-approved medications are medications, in specific formulations and dosages, that have been proven to be safe and effective for a specific medical problem in studies sponsored by pharmaceutical companies. Compounded medications are made from the same active ingredients (e.g. estradiol, testosterone, semaglutide, etc.), but are compounded (mixed) with other ingredients, and available in a wider variety of dosages, to create a product suitable or more beneficial for individual patients. This makes compounded medications more customizable for individual patients.
We use only large, US-licensed compounding pharmacies that buy their pharmaceuticals from FDA registered manufacturing facilities, and provide certificates of analysis to prove the integrity of the pharmaceuticals they use.
