Weight management guide

Weight management online in Virginia and West Virginia

This guide is for adults seeking medically-supervised weight management with non-GLP-1, non-stimulant options — not for GLP-1 or controlled-stimulant requests, pregnancy, or when a safety condition applies.

Start online

Start a $59 online review for Weight management (non-GLP-1).

Medical weight management pairs lifestyle change with, where appropriate, non-GLP-1 and non-controlled medication options — metformin (off-label) and bupropion-naltrexone (Contrave). It fits adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27+ with a weight-related condition. This service does not prescribe GLP-1 medications (like semaglutide) or controlled stimulants (like phentermine). Pregnancy, an eating disorder, a seizure disorder, opioid use, or a possible thyroid/hormonal cause need different or in-person care.

If treatment is appropriate, your physician can send a non-controlled prescription to your pharmacy and provide portal instructions for the next step.

If the concern still fits this service, a physician reviews it and sends a secure update after sign-in. When appropriate, non-controlled prescriptions can be sent to your pharmacy, and a basic work or school note can be included at physician discretion.

Do you prescribe Ozempic or other GLP-1 medications?

No. This service does not prescribe GLP-1 medications (like semaglutide or tirzepatide) or controlled stimulants (like phentermine). It focuses on lifestyle change plus non-GLP-1, non-controlled options such as metformin (off-label) or bupropion-naltrexone where appropriate.

Who is a good fit for medical weight management?

Adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27+ with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure or prediabetes, who want medically-supervised support alongside diet and activity changes and have no safety contraindications.

What safety checks are involved?

We screen for pregnancy, eating disorders, seizure disorder, and opioid use, review blood pressure and heart history, and recommend baseline labs (like kidney function and A1c). Weight loss is gradual — expect steady, modest progress.
