Reinvent Your Life With Weight loss Medication

At Everest, we understand that everyone’s weight loss journey looks different. Despite what is out there on the internet or social media, when it comes to creating a weight-loss plan, one size doesn’t fit all.

Therefore, we work with each patient to create a custom weight loss program that is tailored to their needs using a variety of highly effective and proven weight reduction strategies. We use evidenced based information to maintain long term healthy eating habits that are sustainable and practical for you.

Some of the evidence based approaches we utilize are intermittent fasting, low-carb high protein diet, portion control and calorie restriction. We offer prescription weight loss medications including Ozempic, Mounjaro, Trulicity, Victoza, and Saxenda combined with education and 1:1 counseling for weight management.
