Achieve sustainable weight loss through personalized, medically supervised treatment designed to improve your health—not just the number on the scale.

At Hagen Health & Absolute Aesthetics, we combine nutrition, lifestyle coaching, metabolic evaluation, and evidence-based medications—including GLP-1 and GIP therapies when appropriate—to help you achieve lasting success.

Why Medical Weight Loss?

Losing weight isn't simply about willpower. Hormones, metabolism, genetics, sleep, stress, medications, and underlying medical conditions all influence body weight and can make losing weight difficult despite your best efforts.

Our goal is to identify the factors contributing to weight gain and develop a personalized treatment plan that helps you lose weight safely while protecting your long-term health.

Our Comprehensive Approach

Personalized Medical Evaluation

Every patient begins with a comprehensive consultation that may include:

• Comprehensive medical history
• Weight and diet history
• Medication review
• Lifestyle assessment
• Nutritional evaluation
• Body composition assessment
• Laboratory testing, when indicated
• Individualized treatment recommendations

Lifestyle & Nutrition Coaching

Long-term success requires more than medication.

We work with you to develop realistic, sustainable habits that support lifelong health, including:

• Healthy nutrition strategies
• Protein optimization
• Exercise planning
• Sleep improvement
• Behavioral modification
• Long-term weight maintenance

Prescription Weight Loss Medications

When medically appropriate, prescription medications can significantly improve weight loss outcomes by reducing hunger, increasing fullness, and supporting healthier metabolic function.

Treatment options may include:

• Tirzepatide (GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist)
• Semaglutide (GLP-1 receptor agonist)
• Phentermine (for selected patients)
• Combination therapy when appropriate

Medication selection is individualized based on your medical history, goals, lifestyle, and risk factors.

Conditions That May Contribute to Weight Gain

Weight gain is often multifactorial and may be influenced by:

• Insulin resistance
• Prediabetes
• Type 2 diabetes
• Menopause
• Hormonal imbalance
• Thyroid disorders
• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
• Poor sleep or sleep apnea
• Chronic stress
• Certain prescription medications

Rather than simply treating the symptom of excess weight, we work to identify and address the underlying contributors whenever possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much weight can I lose?

Results vary based on your starting weight, health conditions, adherence to treatment, and lifestyle changes. Patients using GLP-1 or GLP-1/GIP medications together with nutrition and exercise often achieve significantly greater weight loss than lifestyle modification alone.

Will I regain weight after stopping medication?

Weight maintenance requires ongoing healthy habits. Some patients remain on medication long-term, while others transition to maintenance strategies based on their goals and overall health.

Are GLP-1 medications safe?

Like all prescription medications, GLP-1 therapies have potential risks and side effects. Before prescribing treatment, we perform a thorough medical evaluation and continue to monitor your progress throughout therapy.

How often are follow-up visits?

Most patients are seen every 4–8 weeks initially to monitor progress, adjust treatment when needed, review nutrition and exercise goals, and provide ongoing support. Every 3 months for maintenance.
