All medications are prescribed only after a physician evaluation, and only where clinically appropriate. We run medications through your insurance first and assist with prior authorizations. Individual results vary; regular monitoring is part of every plan.
The Star Wellness Difference
Medication is one tool. Lasting results come from treating everything that affects your weight.
Your sleep
Untreated sleep apnea disrupts the hormones that regulate appetite — and quietly stalls weight loss. Every patient is screened, and we treat sleep and weight together.
Your muscle
Rapid weight loss can cost you muscle. We track body composition — not just the scale — with protein targets and resistance-training guidance in every plan.
Your hormones
Thyroid, hormones, and vitamin levels are checked and optimized — the metabolic barriers most programs never test for.
Your future
Reaching goal weight is the beginning. We plan the maintenance phase and, when appropriate, a structured taper — so results last after the medication.
Common Questions
It varies by individual and program, but many patients lose 1–2 pounds per week. With medications like semaglutide, patients may lose up to 15% of body weight, and tirzepatide has exceeded 20% in clinical trials.
The initial consultation is $99 and the treatment kickoff visit is $99. Blood work runs through your insurance, or $160 self-pay through us. Program pricing after that varies by your personalized plan, medication, and dose — it’s confirmed at your consultation, with no surprises.
When prescribed by a qualified physician and taken as directed, weight loss medications are safe for most patients. Regular monitoring is part of every Star Wellness MD plan to minimize side effects and maximize results.
Not necessarily. Medication can be a short-term or long-term tool depending on your progress and goals. Our maintenance and taper planning is designed for sustainable results — not permanent dependence.
Often, yes — for labs and medications. We run all medications through your insurance first and assist with prior authorizations for Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro, and Wegovy. You’re also welcome to use your own lab and pharmacy.
