Our Tailor-Made Approach

Personalized Weight Loss Plans

Every patient receives a customized program based on a complete (and ongoing) metabolic health assessment, detailed medical history review, lifestyle, realistic goal setting and personal preferences. Your plan evolves with you, ensuring continued progress toward your goals.

Physician Supervision & Medical Oversight

Safety and effectiveness are our top priorities. Dr. Virpal Thiara and our medical team provide ongoing supervision throughout your journey, including regular check-ins and progress monitoring, medication management when appropriate, lab work and metabolic testing, body composition analysis to track fat loss versus muscle retention and adjustments to your plan based on your response and results.

Nutritional Counseling & Custom Dietary Planning

Achieving truly sustainable weight loss requires understanding how to nourish your body properly. Our nutritional guidance includes personalized meal planning tailored to your lifestyle, education on portion control and macronutrient balance, strategies for dining out and social situations, addressing nutritional deficiencies that may hinder weight loss, and practical shopping lists and meal prep guidance.

Fitness & Activity Guidance

We will provide realistic exercise recommendations tailored to your current fitness level, physical abilities and personal goals. We help you develop an activity plan that’s both effective enough to accomplish our goals and enjoyable enough to be sustainable. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to optimize your existing routine, we provide the guidance you need.

Behavioral Support & Habit Change

Addressing the emotional and psychological aspects of weight management is crucial for lasting success. Our behavioral support helps you identify and overcome emotional eating patterns, develop healthy coping mechanisms for stress, create sustainable lifestyle habits, build confidence in your ability to maintain results and address underlying factors that may sabotage your progress.

GLP-1 Medications for Weight Loss

GLP-1 receptor agonist treatments have revolutionized the medical weight loss world in just a few years due to their raw effectiveness. These prescription medications work by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone in your body (GLP stands for “glucagon-like peptide”) that controls appetite, blood sugar and digestion.

It is this multifaceted approach to weight loss that makes GLP-1 agonists so effective. This injectable medication suppresses appetite, slows gastric emptying, stabilizes blood sugar and reduces cravings all on its own.

Understanding the Treatment Process

GLP-1 medications are administered as a subcutaneous injection, typically once a week. Treatment begins at a low dose, increasing gradually as indicated by your body’s response. Most patients notice decreased appetite within several weeks of beginning treatment.

Our medical team will provide careful oversight and guidance throughout your GLP-1 treatment to make adjustments as needed for safety and effectiveness.

Supplemental Therapies

To improve your weight loss results, we offer several supportive options, including natural weight loss treatments.

B12 Injections

Vitamin B12 shots support your weight loss journey by boosting your body’s metabolism rate, increasing energy levels for more active days, improving immune function and helping convert stored fat and proteins into usable energy.

Lipotropic Injections

These powerful fat-loss supplements contain a blend of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, including B-12, methionine, inositol and choline. Lipotropic injections for weight loss help release stored fat, increase fat-burning capacity, boost metabolic rate, support healthy liver function and provide sustained energy throughout the day.

Vitamin B + Lipotropic Combination Shots

Our combination injections merge the energy-boosting and mood-enhancing benefits of Vitamin B with the efficient fat-burning properties of lipotropics in a single treatment. These shots boost metabolism, help regulate cholesterol levels, increase fat metabolism, alleviate stress and support overall wellness during your weight loss journey.

Prescription Weight Loss Medications

For appropriate candidates, we offer physician-prescribed weight loss medications as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. These medications work through various mechanisms, including appetite regulation, targeted metabolic support and fat absorption prevention. All medication protocols are carefully monitored for safety and effectiveness.

Non-GLP-1 Medication Options:

Our medical team may recommend one or more of the following FDA-approved medications based on your needs:

  • Metformin – Helps improve insulin sensitivity and metabolic function
  • Phentermine – Reduces appetite and increases energy expenditure for effective short-term weight loss support
  • Bupropion/Naltrexone (Contrave) – Combination medication that reduces cravings and appetite while addressing emotional eating patterns
  • Topiramate (Topamax) – Helps decrease appetite and enhance feelings of fullness, often used for patients with certain metabolic profiles

Dr. Thiara will determine which medication, if any, is most appropriate for your weight loss journey based on your medical history, current health status and specific goals.

Hormonal Evaluation & Support

An often overlooked stumbling block, hormonal imbalances can be especially detrimental to weight loss for patients over the age of 40. When appropriate, we conduct comprehensive hormonal evaluations and provide targeted support to address thyroid function, sex hormone balance, cortisol levels and insulin resistance.

Benefits of Medical Weight Loss

Our physician-supervised approach offers distinct advantages over commercial diet programs:

  • Safe, medically-guided weight loss based on your unique health profile
  • Sustainable results through lifestyle changes rather than restrictive dieting
  • Expert accountability and support throughout your entire journey
  • Comprehensive care that considers your whole health picture
  • Evidence-based strategies proven to deliver lasting results
  • Regular monitoring to ensure safety and optimize outcomes

Boost Results Even Further With Combination Treatments

Pairing medical weight loss with complementary treatments enables you to refine your results for an even greater transformation.

Body Contouring Treatments

As you lose weight, body contouring procedures can help make the most of your progress by targeting stubborn fat deposits, tightening loose skin and sculpting your new physique. These treatments work best once you’ve achieved significant weight loss and are near your goal weight.

Skin Tightening Procedures

Significant weight loss can sometimes result in loose or sagging skin. Our advanced skin tightening treatments use radiofrequency technology and other modalities to firm and tighten skin for a more toned appearance that matches your weight loss success.

Nutritional IV Therapy

Support your weight loss journey with customized IV therapy that delivers essential vitamins, minerals and hydration directly to your bloodstream. These treatments can boost energy, support metabolism, and improve the recovery process after a workout to promote continued progress.

Wellness Treatments

Comprehensive wellness goes beyond the number on the scale. Consider pairing your weight loss program with stress-reduction treatments, hormone and metabolism weight loss optimization and other wellness services for more well-rounded outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

We've got answers!

Who is a good candidate for medical weight loss?

Ideal candidates for our physician-supervised weight loss programs include adults with a BMI over 30, people with a BMI over 27 who have weight-related health conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes, and those who have struggled with traditional diet and exercise programs. Patients who plateau in their weight loss progress due to hormonal or metabolic factors may also be appropriate candidates for medical weight loss.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Weight loss results vary based on your starting weight, metabolic health, adherence to the program and individual factors. Most patients can expect to lose 1-2 pounds per week on average, which is considered safe and sustainable.

Are weight loss medications safe?

When prescribed and monitored by a qualified physician, weight loss medications can be a safe and effective component of a comprehensive weight loss program. Dr. Thiara carefully evaluates each patient’s medical history, current health status and potential risk factors before prescribing any medications.

Do I have to follow a restrictive diet?

Our approach emphasizes sustainable lifestyle changes rather than restrictive dieting. We develop personalized nutrition plans that are realistic, enjoyable and tailored to your preferences and lifestyle. The goal is to create healthy eating patterns you can maintain long-term, not a temporary diet you’ll abandon once you reach your goal.

How is medical weight loss different from commercial diet programs?

Medical weight loss programs at Haven Medspa offer physician supervision and medical oversight throughout your journey, comprehensive health evaluations including lab work and body composition analysis, personalized plans based on your unique metabolic and hormonal profile, access to prescription medications when appropriate, and other advantages that commercial diet programs can’t provide.

Will I regain the weight after I stop the program?

Our focus on sustainable lifestyle changes, behavioral modification and long-term habit formation significantly reduces the risk of weight regain. Unlike crash diets or quick-fix programs, medical weight loss teaches you how to maintain your results for life.

Dr. Thiara is one of the most sweetest and understanding doctors I know! I went to her in 2022 after my sister recommended her to me and safe to say it was the best decision I ever made.

Loved my experience – Dr. Thiara is wonderful! She listens to what you want and does not push anything extra or tries to sell you on “more” which I really appreciated. I wanted a very minimal natural look and it’s exactly what I feel like I got. She is also VERY responsive and called me herself for reassurance on something I was not sure about. Would recommend 100 percent.

Dr. Thiara is knowledgeable and very accommodating to her clients.
