THE MEDICAL APPROACH
Before medication comes medicine
A thoughtful plan starts by understanding the whole picture. Dr. Aslam reviews factors that can influence weight, treatment safety and realistic goals before determining what approach may fit.
PRESCRIPTION OPTIONS
Weight-loss medication, when clinically appropriate
Prescription medication can be an important tool, but it is not the entire program. Treatment is individualized after medical evaluation, with benefits, risks, tolerability and follow-up considered as part of the decision. For patients asking about weight-loss injections such as semaglutide or tirzepatide in Corpus Christi, these medications may be considered when clinically appropriate after evaluation.
Semaglutide
Recognizable names include Wegovy® and Ozempic®.
Semaglutide may be considered for appropriate patients. Brand indications differ, and candidacy and the specific prescription depend on individual medical factors.
Tirzepatide
Recognizable names include Zepbound® and Mounjaro®.
Tirzepatide may be considered for eligible patients within an individualized medical plan. Brand indications differ and treatment choice depends on clinical factors.
Medication Selection
Medication choice follows evaluation rather than preference alone. Your health history, goals, contraindications, current medications and tolerability all matter.
CONSIDERING A GLP-1?
Start with the questions that actually matter
Am I a candidate?
Candidacy depends on medical history, weight-related risk, age, medications and contraindications.
Which medication fits me?
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are not interchangeable decisions. Selection should follow medical evaluation.
What about side effects?
Tolerability and gastrointestinal symptoms are discussed before and during treatment, with follow-up used to guide adjustments.
What happens long term?
Weight management is often long-term care. Maintenance planning should begin before medication is changed or stopped.
MORE THAN MEDICATION
The prescription is one tool. Your program is bigger.
Successful medical weight management should support the health behaviors and body composition that matter beyond the scale.
NutritionPractical nutrition strategy that supports health and treatment goals.
Movement & StrengthActivity and resistance exercise appropriate to the individual.
Behavior & LifestylePatterns that influence appetite, consistency, sleep and long-term progress.
Medical Follow-UpResponse, tolerability and next steps reviewed over time.
BODY COMPOSITION
Weight loss shouldn't mean losing what makes you strong
Our goal is not simply a lower number on the scale. Preserving lean mass and supporting strength are important considerations during weight loss, particularly when appetite and food intake change substantially.
HOW IT WORKS
Your physician-guided program in four steps
Physician Consultation
Understand your history, goals and clinical context.
Individualized Plan
Build a strategy around your needs and appropriate treatment options.
Treatment & Monitoring
Follow progress, response and tolerability over time.
Refine & Sustain
Adjust the plan as your needs change and build a strategy for maintaining progress.
READY WHEN YOU ARE
Not sure which approach is right for you?
You don't need to choose a medication or treatment plan before your visit. Start with a physician consultation and build the plan from there.
CARE ACROSS LIFE STAGES
Weight management for adults, adolescents & children
Adults
Adult care considers health history, metabolic risk, previous weight-loss attempts, lifestyle, body composition and prescription treatment when appropriate.
A DISTINCTIVE CLINICAL FOUNDATION
Children & Adolescents
Weight concerns during growth require a different lens than adult weight loss. Dr. Aslam's board certifications in Pediatrics, Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Nutrition, and Obesity Medicine provide a particularly relevant foundation for considering growth, development, nutrition and health together.
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
Candidacy is individual
Medical weight management may be appropriate for people who have struggled to make progress with lifestyle changes alone, have weight-related health concerns, or want a structured medical approach.
