Do you use hormone replacement therapy as part of weight loss treatment?

Yes, when appropriate. If your labs show low testosterone, thyroid dysfunction, or other hormone imbalances, we address those issues alongside your weight loss program. Many patients find they can’t lose weight effectively until their hormones are optimized. We offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and thyroid management as part of comprehensive care.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Results can vary greatly based on your individual situation, but clinical trials give us good benchmarks. Patients on semaglutide typically lose 10-15% of their body weight when combined with lifestyle changes. Those on tirzepatide often see 15-20% or more. Some patients using older medications like phentermine may see quicker initial results. The most important factor is addressing any underlying issues that have been preventing weight loss.

Will I have to change what I eat?

You won’t be put on a restrictive crash diet, but we do provide nutritional guidance. The beauty of GLP-1 medications is that they help you feel satisfied with less food, so dietary changes often feel more natural. We work with you to develop eating patterns that support your weight loss and fit your lifestyle.

What makes your medical weight loss program different from other weight loss clinics in Reno?

We don’t just prescribe medication and send you on your way. We run comprehensive labs to identify hormone imbalances, metabolic issues, and nutritional deficiencies that might be preventing weight loss. Our focused approach means you get ongoing monitoring, program adjustments, and real answers, and not just a prescription.

How much does medical weight loss cost in Reno?

Rethink How Weight Loss Works

You’ve tried everything. The meal prep. The early morning workouts. The calorie counting. The weight drops a little, then creeps right back. And everyone keeps saying the same thing: “Just eat less and move more.”

But what if your body is working against you?

At Alpine Wellness, our medical weight loss clinic takes a different approach. We don’t hand you a diet plan and wish you luck. We run the labs that most weight loss clinics skip. We examine your hormones, metabolism, and unique biology to determine why your body won’t shed the weight.

Because sometimes, discipline isn’t the problem. Your thyroid is. Your testosterone is. Your cortisol is. And no amount of willpower can fix a hormone imbalance.

The Alpine Wellness Difference

Patient Education

We believe informed patients make empowered decisions about their healthcare. That’s why we break down every lab result, treatment option, and milestone in plain, easy-to-understand language.

Comprehensive Care

Your provider looks beyond surface-level symptoms to treat what’s underneath—hormonal shifts, inflammation, stress, and more. Because the best results require a plan of care that’s as layered as your life.

Leading Technology

From baseline labs to metabolic testing, we use tools that give us the right information. These tools can help us detect deeper imbalances, measure success, and tailor your care in real time.

Why Alpine Wellness Is Different from Other Weight Loss Clinics

Here’s what we hear from new patients all the time: “I tried another weight loss clinic and they just gave me shots. Nothing else changed.”

That’s not how we do it.

We Look At The Whole Picture

Most weight loss programs focus on calories in, calories out. We look at your hormones, your stress levels, your sleep quality, and your nutritional status. Because all of those things affect whether you can lose weight and keep it off.

Using GLP-1 Medications Safely

Weight loss medications are incredible tools. But they’re just tools. If you have underlying hormone issues, they’ll work better once we fix those. If you’re not sleeping, they’ll be less effective. We optimize everything so the medications can do their job.

We’re Not A Weight Loss Mill

You won’t sit in a waiting room with 20 other people getting the same prescription. You’ll work directly with our medical team. You’ll get real answers to your questions. And if something isn’t working, we’ll figure out why and change course.

What to Expect: Your First Visit

Here’s how it works:

Initial Consultation: We sit down and talk about your history. Every diet you’ve tried. Every medication you’ve been on. Your family history. Your symptoms. Everything.

Comprehensive Labs: We run the full panel. Not just the basics – the hormones, the metabolic markers, the nutritional levels that other doctors skip.

Results Discussion: Once your labs are back, we go over every number with you. We explain what it means and how it’s affecting your weight.

Personalized Plan: We create your program together. GLP-1 medications if appropriate. Hormone optimization if needed. Nutrition strategies that fit your life.

Ongoing Support: You’re not getting a prescription and being sent on your way. We check in regularly, adjust your plan as needed, and make sure you’re actually getting results.

GLP-1 Weight Loss: What You Need to Know

If you’ve been hearing about weight loss medications, you’re not alone. These medications have become the gold standard for medical weight loss – and for good reason.

GLP-1 stands for glucagon-like peptide-1. It’s a hormone your body already makes that tells your brain you’re full. These medications mimic that hormone at much higher levels.

What does that mean for you? You feel satisfied after smaller meals. You don’t think about food constantly. The cravings that used to control your day just… quiet down.
