Weight management is influenced by far more than willpower or calorie intake. Hormone changes, thyroid function, insulin sensitivity, stress, sleep, nutrition, medications, and other health factors can all affect your metabolism and make weight loss more difficult.
At Besana Health and Wellness, our experienced nurse practitioners and physician assistants take a comprehensive approach to medical weight loss. We evaluate your health history, symptoms, metabolic markers, body composition, and personal goals to develop a plan that is tailored to you.
Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all diet, we focus on helping you understand the factors affecting your progress and creating realistic strategies you can sustain.
Your medical weight loss journey begins with a detailed consultation covering your health history, previous weight loss efforts, medications, lifestyle, symptoms, and goals. Your provider may recommend laboratory testing and an InBody body composition analysis to better understand your metabolic health.
Your personalized plan may include nutrition guidance, lifestyle recommendations, targeted supplementation, treatment for underlying thyroid or hormonal concerns, and prescription weight-loss medication when clinically appropriate.
Follow-up appointments allow your provider to monitor your progress, review changes in body composition, and adjust your plan based on how your body responds. The goal is not simply to lower the number on the scale, but to support healthier metabolism, sustainable habits, and long-term well-being.
Losing weight and improving body composition are not always the same thing. Maintaining and building lean muscle can support strength, mobility, metabolism, and long-term wellness.
EmSculpt NEO is a noninvasive body-contouring treatment designed to stimulate powerful muscle contractions while delivering radiofrequency energy to the treatment area. It may be used to help strengthen and tone targeted areas such as the abdomen, buttocks, arms, or thighs.
EmSculpt NEO is not a required part of Besana’s medical weight loss program. It is an optional complementary treatment that may be recommended for patients who want additional support with muscle definition and body contouring.

Women experiencing weight changes related to perimenopause, menopause, or thyroid dysfunction often find that standard approaches fail them because the root cause is hormonal, not behavioral. Our program addresses the metabolic shifts that accompany hormonal changes, with testing and treatment that goes far beyond what a commercial diet program can offer. Many female patients combine medical weight loss with hormone optimization for comprehensive metabolic support.
Men over 40 frequently experience metabolic decline alongside testosterone reduction, leading to increased abdominal fat, decreased muscle mass, and reduced energy. GLP-1 medications combined with EmSculpt NEO for muscle preservation offer a clinically precise approach to body composition that addresses both fat loss and the equally important priority of maintaining lean muscle tissue. This is the difference between losing weight and optimizing metabolic health.
Candidates should understand that this approach addresses weight management from a comprehensive, medical perspective. The best candidates are those ready to take an active role in their health journey and committed to sustainable change with professional guidance.

Your initial consultation includes a detailed review of your medical history, symptoms, medications, previous weight loss efforts, lifestyle, and personal goals.
Your provider may recommend laboratory testing to evaluate metabolic markers, thyroid function, hormone levels, nutrient status, and other factors that may affect weight management.
Your plan may include nutrition guidance, lifestyle recommendations, targeted supplements, and prescription treatment when appropriate for your health needs.
InBody body composition analysis measures more than total weight. It provides insight into body fat, lean muscle mass, and changes in body composition as your program progresses.
Regular follow-up visits allow your provider to review your progress, answer questions, and make individualized adjustments.
Your plan evolves as your health, goals, and body composition change. Besana focuses on helping you build sustainable habits that continue beyond your initial weight loss.
Weight loss can involve changes in both body fat and lean muscle. Because muscle supports strength, mobility, glucose regulation, and metabolic health, preserving it is an important part of long-term wellness.
At Besana, we use InBody analysis to monitor changes in body composition rather than relying only on the scale. Your provider can help you develop a plan that supports adequate nutrition, appropriate movement, and healthy muscle maintenance throughout your weight loss journey.
For patients interested in additional muscle-strengthening and body-contouring support, EmSculpt NEO may also be considered as an optional service.
