Our Philosophy
We don't believe in crash diets or one-size-fits-all plans. We combine evidence-based medicine, lifestyle medicine, and personalized treatment to help you lose weight safely while improving your overall health. Medications can be a valuable tool for the right patient, but lasting success comes from addressing the underlying factors that contribute to weight gain.
Is This Program Right For You?
This program may be a good fit if you:
✓ Have tried multiple diets but struggle to keep the weight off.
✓ Want physician-guided care instead of another fad diet.
✓ Are ready to make sustainable lifestyle changes.
✓ Want to improve your overall health—not just the number on the scale.
✓ Are open to using medication if it's appropriate, but don't want medication to be the entire plan.
Our goal isn't simply weight loss—it's helping you build lasting health through personalized, evidence-based care.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate?
Most adults with overweight or obesity who are ready to improve their health may benefit from our program. During your initial evaluation, we'll review your medical history, goals, lifestyle, and any underlying conditions to determine the best approach for you.
Do I have to take medication?
No. Medication is never required. Some patients are successful with lifestyle changes alone, while others benefit from adding medication. We'll discuss the risks, benefits, and alternatives together and develop a plan that fits your goals.
Do you prescribe GLP-1 medications?
Yes—when medically appropriate. Medications such as semaglutide or tirzepatide can be valuable tools for weight management, but they work best as part of a comprehensive plan that includes nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, and long-term habit change.
How often will I be seen?
Every patient receives a personalized follow-up schedule based on their goals, medical conditions, and treatment plan. Early visits are typically more frequent, then transition to maintenance visits as you gain confidence and build sustainable habits.
Will you order laboratory testing?
Yes, when appropriate. Laboratory testing can help identify medical conditions that may be contributing to weight gain or making weight loss more difficult, allowing us to develop a more personalized treatment plan.
How much does the program cost?
Medical weight management is available exclusively to Good Steward Health members because lasting success comes from comprehensive, ongoing care—not brief, stand-alone weight loss visits.
Weight management visits are included with your membership. Laboratory testing, body composition analysis, and prescription medications are billed separately when needed.
