Comprehensive, physician-supervised weight loss programs that combine FDA-approved medications, nutrition science, and holistic therapies for lasting results.
If you've struggled with weight loss despite trying multiple diets, exercise programs, and willpower-based approaches, you're not alone. Research consistently shows that for many people, excess weight isn't simply about eating too much or exercising too little — it's a complex medical condition influenced by genetics, hormones, metabolism, and environmental factors.
Medical weight loss recognizes this complexity. Unlike commercial diet programs that offer one-size-fits-all solutions, medical weight loss takes a comprehensive, evidence-based approach supervised by a physician who understands the science of obesity and weight management.
At the Wellness Center of Lakewood Ranch, Dr. Nancie provides medically supervised weight loss programs that address the root causes of weight gain and create sustainable pathways to a healthier weight. Our approach combines the latest advances in weight loss medicine with personalized care that respects your unique health profile, lifestyle, and goals.
What makes medical weight loss different from every diet you've tried before? It's the depth and breadth of our approach. We don't just count calories — we analyze, treat, and optimize every aspect of your metabolic health.
Your program begins with a thorough medical assessment that goes far beyond stepping on a scale. Dr. Nancie evaluates your complete health picture including hormonal balance, thyroid function, metabolic rate, blood sugar regulation, inflammatory markers, nutritional deficiencies, body composition, and cardiovascular health. This comprehensive evaluation often reveals underlying factors that have been sabotaging your previous weight loss attempts.
Based on your evaluation results, Dr. Nancie creates a treatment plan specifically designed for your body, your health conditions, and your goals. This may include FDA-approved weight loss medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide, metabolic optimization strategies, nutritional guidance tailored to your needs, exercise recommendations appropriate for your fitness level, and complementary therapies such as acupuncture or laser therapy.
When appropriate, we offer the most advanced FDA-approved weight loss medications available, including:
All medications are prescribed and monitored by Dr. Nancie, ensuring safe and effective use throughout your program.
Medication alone isn't enough for lasting success. Our program includes personalized nutrition guidance that focuses on sustainable eating patterns rather than restrictive diets. We help you understand how different foods affect your body, develop meal planning strategies that fit your lifestyle, and build a healthy relationship with food that supports long-term weight maintenance.
Regular check-ins with our medical team keep you on track and allow us to adjust your program as needed. We monitor your progress through body composition measurements, metabolic markers, and overall health indicators. This data-driven approach ensures your program continues to deliver optimal results throughout your journey.
Our medical weight loss program is designed to help patients dealing with:
The Sarasota-Bradenton area has many weight loss options, but the Wellness Center of Lakewood Ranch offers a truly unique approach:
We combine conventional medical treatments with holistic therapies for a well-rounded approach. While medications address the biological aspects of weight loss, services like acupuncture, chiropractic care, and laser therapy address the physical, energetic, and structural components that influence your weight and overall health.
Every patient is different. Your genetics, metabolism, hormones, lifestyle, food preferences, medical history, and goals are all unique to you. We never apply a one-size-fits-all protocol. Instead, Dr. Nancie creates a plan that is as individual as you are, and we continuously refine it based on your response and progress.
We're not interested in helping you lose 20 pounds only to regain 30. Our entire program is designed with long-term success in mind. We teach you the skills, habits, and strategies needed to maintain your results, and we provide ongoing support to help you navigate the challenges of weight maintenance.
We understand that weight is a sensitive and emotional topic. Our team creates a warm, supportive environment where you feel respected, heard, and empowered. We never shame or judge — we partner with you to achieve your health goals.
