Your metabolism naturally slows down as you get older, making it harder to burn calories the way you used to. Stress, poor sleep, and hormonal changes can also make it tough to lose those extra pounds. Hormonal imbalances, including low testosterone, often contribute to weight gain and difficulty losing fat. Our hormone therapy programs can address these underlying factors. If diet and exercise alone aren't getting you the results you want, our medically-supervised weight loss program can help you finally reach your goals. Have questions? Read our FAQs. Medications are prescribed by licensed clinicians. Discuss pickup and fulfillment options with your care team after evaluation. Visit us at our Richmond, Newport News, or Virginia Beach clinic.
Prescription Weight Loss Options: Which Fits Your Health Profile?
Our prescription weight loss medications are used for physician-supervised weight loss. They work differently and suit different men. The options differ in how they work and whom they suit.
| Factor | Once-weekly (single mechanism) | Once-weekly (dual mechanism) |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Single-receptor agonist | Dual-receptor agonist |
| FDA approval | Approved for weight management | Approved for weight management |
| Appetite reduction | Strong | Stronger for most men |
| Blood sugar support | Yes | Yes (dual mechanism) |
| Who it suits | Most men, strong starting option | Men who want stronger appetite control or have plateaued on their current medication |
| Physician required | Yes | Yes |
The most important factor is not which medication is theoretically stronger — it is which one is appropriate for your health profile, lab results, and goals. Your physician at Men's Wellness Centers reviews your same-day blood work before recommending either. Men who have plateaued on one medication often see better results switching to the alternative. Men starting fresh typically begin with the single-receptor option.
Both medications are physician-prescribed and supervised. Neither is available over the counter. Your provider will discuss a follow-up schedule based on your care plan. No referral needed to get started.
Your First Visit, Step by Step
What To Expect During Your First Visit
When you arrive for your appointment at our men's clinic, your provider will conduct a health evaluation and assess your hormone levels at our on-site lab. Your provider will explain when to expect results. If necessary, your doctor will recommend an on-site EKG test to check for heart disease. He'll prescribe any medications or explain any further tests.
Then, he'll discuss a fitness and weight loss plan customized to you, including our exclusive vitamin "MIC" injections.

Is Medical Weight Loss Right for You?
Physician-supervised prescription weight loss programs are not appropriate for all men. These medications are generally not recommended for men with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, men with a history of pancreatitis, or men currently taking certain other medications. Side effects — most commonly nausea and digestive changes — are more pronounced in the early weeks of treatment.
Your physician reviews your complete health history and lab work before prescribing. If a weight loss program is not the right fit, your physician will discuss alternative approaches to weight management that may be more appropriate for your specific situation. We prescribe only when treatment is clinically appropriate.
