Weight LossMedical weight care, built around you.
Talk with a KOI clinician about your weight concerns, health history and treatment options.
Is medical weight care right for me?
An assessment helps your clinician discuss your goals and options. Medication eligibility depends on the specific medicine, your health history and its prescribing guidance.
Treatment options
Your plan may include nutrition, movement and behavioral support. Prescription medication may be considered when appropriate. Your clinician will explain the specific treatment, expected benefits, risks, alternatives and follow-up.
Before starting medication
Your clinician reviews your medical history and current medicines and discusses side effects, precautions and reasons a treatment may not be suitable. Ask what symptoms need medical attention and how to contact your care team.
Not suitable if you
- are pregnant or breastfeeding
- have medullary thyroid cancer, or a family history of it
- have severe kidney disease
- have a history of pancreatitis or gallstones
- have inflammatory bowel disease or another GI disorder
Possible side effects, and how we limit them
The most common side effects are nausea, an upset stomach, diarrhea, constipation or headache. We start at a low dose and raise it gradually, and your clinician will go over the full list with you.
How we keep you safe- A full medical assessment and history review before anything is prescribed
- Baseline labs when your clinician considers them appropriate
- Gradual dose titration, never a one-size dose
- Regular follow-ups to adjust your dose and manage any side effects
Your care, step by step
Your first assessment
1. Talk
Review your health history, medications, previous approaches and goals.
2. Evaluate
Your clinician considers what measurements, tests or further evaluation may be useful. Bring recent results if you have them.
3. Decide
Discuss your options, their risks and costs, and agree on a next step.
Checking in
You and your clinician review your response, any side effects and next steps. Ask about the follow-up schedule, repeat testing and a long-term plan, including what happens if you stop medication.
