Assessment first. Here is what it includes.
A good weight-loss plan starts with your labs and your body composition. Here is each step and how it is priced.
15 minutes with a KOI clinician to talk through your goals and whether a weight-loss plan could fit.
A full visit with your provider, plus the labs chosen for you. Lab costs depend on the panels.
Your plan can include nutrition and metabolic support, GLP-1 class medication where appropriate, and InBody tracking. Your provider walks through the cost with you before you start.
What the assessment includes
- A full visit with a KOI clinician, focused on your history, symptoms and goals.
- Labs chosen for you, with your results explained in plain English.
- A plan built with you, with your options laid out.
How the program works.
Real weight loss starts with understanding your biology, not reaching straight for a prescription. We build a medically supervised plan around what's actually driving your weight, and if medication has a role, it's one part of a much bigger picture.
Comprehensive assessment
We review your history, body composition and comprehensive metabolic and hormonal labs, including a baseline liver-function check, to understand exactly what's driving your weight.
Your personalized plan
From there we design a personalized program, which may include GLP-1 or peptide therapy, hormone balancing, and IV and nutrient support.
Nutrition & lifestyle
Registered-dietitian nutrition counseling, whole-food eating, movement and strategies for emotional-eating triggers, the habits that make it last.
Progress you can measure
InBody body-composition scans and nutrient shots track your progress beyond the scale and keep your energy up.
Ongoing supervision
Regular follow-ups to review results, fine-tune your dose and manage any side effects, so your progress stays safe and steady.
GLP-1 & peptide therapy
When it's the right fit, GLP-1 medication and other peptide therapies may become part of your plan, always determined by your physician after a full clinical evaluation.
What GLP-1 & peptides are
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone your body makes naturally to help regulate hunger, fullness and blood sugar. A number of prescription medications, along with other peptide therapies, are designed to work with these same pathways.
- Available only by prescription, after a full medical evaluation confirms one is appropriate for you.
- Your physician selects the specific therapy and dose based on your labs, history and goals, never a one-size-fits-all choice.
- Intended to support, not replace, the nutrition and lifestyle foundation of your plan.
How it's typically used
Most GLP-1 and peptide therapies are self-administered by injection on a regular schedule, often weekly, starting at a low dose that's increased gradually under your provider's guidance.
- Regular follow-ups let your care team monitor your response and adjust your plan as needed.
- Not everyone is a candidate. Suitability is determined during your consultation, not before it.
- As with any medication, individual results vary and are never guaranteed.
The potential benefits
Used within a real program, GLP-1 and peptide therapies are intended to do more than move the number on the scale.
Appetite support
May help quiet hunger and cravings and support a feeling of fullness, so eating less can feel more natural.
Meaningful weight loss over time
Clinical research on GLP-1 therapies has shown meaningful weight loss when combined with nutrition and lifestyle change. Individual results vary.
Metabolic support
May help support healthy blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity, alongside your weight-loss goals.
Cardiometabolic wellness
Research has linked GLP-1 therapies to improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol and inflammation markers relevant to long-term health.
Simple dosing
Many GLP-1 therapies are dosed just once a week, fitting into a busy life without daily pills.
Built for the long term
Paired with lifestyle change and ongoing supervision, intended to support maintenance, not a rebound.
How medication fits into the plan.
Medication works best inside a plan. This is how ours is structured.
Works with your biology
GLP-1 and peptide therapies are designed to work with your body's own hormonal signals.
One tool among several
Paired with lab testing, hormone balancing, nutrition and lifestyle, because medication alone rarely holds on its own.
Supervised end to end
Your provider reviews your labs, monitors your response and adjusts your dose, from your first visit to long-term maintenance.
The risks, and how we account for them
Like any medication, GLP-1 and peptide therapies carry risks and aren't appropriate for everyone. We screen carefully and stay with you throughout.
Who it's for
- A BMI of 27 or higher with a weight-related condition, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
- A BMI of 30 or higher, even without a related condition.
- Anyone ready to pair medication with real lifestyle change.
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, including liver-function testing
- Gradual dose titration, never a one-size dose
- Regular follow-ups to adjust your dose and manage any side effects

Questions, answered.
No. GLP-1 medication is one tool within a personalized program that includes lab testing, hormone optimization, nutrition and ongoing monitoring to address why weight is hard to lose.
Because we treat the metabolic root causes, not just appetite, our goal is durable change. We support you through tapering and long-term maintenance.
Response varies from person to person. Your plan is reviewed regularly and adjusted as we go.
Always. Comprehensive metabolic and hormonal lab testing comes first, so your program is built on data about your body.
