AVAILABLE WEIGHT LOSS APPOINTMENTS
Meet with our nurse practitioner, Michelle, over video call or in person at Consa to learn more about our medical weight loss program. We offer both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide injections from a compounding pharmacy, which makes high-quality care accessible to all patients–even when insurance is not an option. We offer a comprehensive program that includes personalized coaching, follow-up appointments, supplies, and medication prescriptions. This consultation is complementary and is meant to decide if you are a good candidate for medical weight loss.
This is your official first appointment to discuss your medical weight loss options, and if you are deemed to be a good candidate, begin your program. During this time, your provider will review your lab work, learn more about your goals, discuss the benefits and possible side effects of the medications (semaglutide or tirzepatide), and ultimately decide on a course of action. Your medication will be ordered at this appointment if you are medically cleared for your program and decide to proceed.
This appointment is for clients who are currently participating in Consa’s medical weight loss program and are asked to schedule a follow-up with our provider. During this appointment, we will discuss your program and instruct you on the administration of your medications as well as answer any lingering questions you may have.
At Consa, we understand that life is busy and mistakes happen! If you’ve forgotten to refill your weight loss medication, this appointment is for you. Book a time to meet with your provider, and we will provide you with a one-time dose of your medication while you wait for your next refill.
To begin your medical weight loss journey, Consa offers the Kickstarter package for your convenience. It includes everything you need to start using semaglutide and provides a comprehensive plan for you to achieve your goals.
Once you’ve completed your initial Semaglutide dose, you may continue your treatment with our membership program at discounted pricing. We will identify the appropriate dose for your medication, and create your program accordingly.
We require a card on file to charge monthly, or if paid upfront, we offer a 10% discount (Over $100 savings)
Please note: Results are not guaranteed. Treatments are not FDA-approved.

If you’re interested in beginning your weight loss journey at Consa, we offer a complimentary initial consultation. During your appointment, you and your provider will discuss your current health concerns, goals, available medications, and pricing. If we determine that you are a good candidate for medical weight loss, we’ll move forward with booking your first official appointment.
Prior to your first appointment, we require that you complete all lab work, consent forms, and patient intake forms that have been sent to you. Your labs may be completed at your preferred location using your own insurance, or you may choose to use our preferred lab at a deeply discounted cash rate. If you’ve had labs completed by your doctor within the past 12 months, you may use those results instead. If your labs have not been completed at the time of your appointment, it will be rescheduled.
You will meet one-on-one with your provider either in person or via video call to analyze your lab results, review your intake form, and discuss your goals in-depth. If your labs have confirmed that you are a good candidate for medical weight loss, we will move forward with ordering your medication. At this time, we will also discuss possible side effects, benefits, and risks, and will teach you how to self-administer the medication. You will also be offered an InBody 570 body composition analysis as your baseline for comparison as this will provide a more complete picture of your starting point.
Next, we’ll review any supplemental products recommended for your weight loss program. We’ll provide you with full access to a one-of-a-kind mobile app, BodySite, that is created to help you reach your weight loss goals. Consa will also provide further guidance, weekly meal plans, macro tracking, a customized exercise regimen, weekly check-ins, and personalized coaching.
Prescription orders take approximately 2 weeks to fill, excluding shipping time. The medication is shipped cold, which means that it will require a signature upon delivery. If you opt to have your medication delivered to your home, Consa is not responsible for the product. It must be refrigerated (or frozen if not being used) when you take receipt of the package. If you need to change your dosing day by more than 3 days, please contact us.
Begin your treatment program and start taking your medications/supplements as directed. You will receive all of the necessary supplies and instructions with your delivery. We want you to feel comfortable and confident in your program, so we always encourage you to contact us with any questions or concerns.
To continue your weight loss program, you will be required to check in weekly or every other week via the BodySite app to keep track of your weight and reported side effects. This is for your safety to assess both your symptoms and progress so we can determine any needed adjustments to your dosage. Failure to comply with our check-in requirement will result in the inability to fill your prescription.
Please note: Full payment for your medication is required at the time of order. Per law, prescriptions are non-refundable and non-returnable. Consa does not submit to insurance, but we can provide a statement for you.
It’s vital to understand your body’s metrics when beginning your medical weight loss program so we can assess your progress with a variety of important data points. The number on the scale is not the only important piece of your journey, and we will take proper care to understand your physical health as a whole.
With the InBody 570, we offer comprehensive body scans to gain deeper insight into your composition, which includes fat, muscle, and water. This knowledge can help us ensure that your weight loss program is both effective and sustainable. The scan will take approximately 45 seconds.
RESULTS WILL INCLUDE:
Semaglutide is designed to regulate blood sugar levels by mimicking the hormone GLP-1. Binding to GLP-1 receptors stimulates insulin production in the body to lower glucose levels. It also slows the time it takes for the stomach to empty. Although Semaglutide doesn’t necessarily help your body burn fat, it limits appetite, making it easier to lower your caloric intake. It can also decrease cravings and alter food preferences.
These medications are painlessly injected once per week under the skin. We will teach you how to administer your injections at home, and you’ll also receive detailed injection instructions with your medication delivery. You may also choose to have us administer it, for a small fee.
Blood sugar levels are a commonly discussed topic for individuals with diabetes and pre-diabetes, but what many don’t realize is that blood sugar levels are an important metric for everyone. Spikes in blood sugar can negatively impact mental and physical health, including irritability and energy levels.
When blood sugar is lowered there are many benefits, including:
Semaglutide is extremely effective for weight loss. Studies have provided statistically significant results in all relevant categories of study regarding the drug, including appetite suppression, stomach emptying, and blood sugar levels.
Clinical trials have shown that participants have achieved significant weight loss results, losing 15-20% of their body weight over a given period of time.
While it’s tempting to look for a weight loss solution that promises instant results, it’s better for long-lasting effects and maintainability to find a program that takes a more realistic amount of time. Semaglutide has been shown to provide results in as little as 2-4 weeks so you are likely to see change fairly quickly, but it will take a longer amount of time to reach your full weight loss goals.
If you’ve been struggling to lose weight with lifestyle changes alone, semaglutide may be the perfect addition to your program to help you finally see results. However, it’s crucial to make sure that you’re a good candidate for the medication before beginning treatment. At Consa, we offer complimentary consultations for all clients interested in medical weight loss services so we can understand your background, health concerns, lifestyle, and unique goals to recommend the best course of treatment possible.
There are several conditions that disqualify you from taking semaglutide for safety reasons. These conditions include:
Both semaglutide and tirzepatide are well-managed and offer relatively minimal disruptions to your life as we adjust your dose over the first weeks and months of your program. The most common side effects patients experience include lack of appetite, nausea, bloating, and feeling “full.”
If you’re concerned about side effects, Tirzepatide Plus may be a good option. It contains cyanocobalamin (B12) which helps to counteract nausea and increase energy levels.
To ensure that you receive the most accurate results possible, please adhere to the following recommendations while preparing for your scan:
If you are pregnant, nursing, or have an implanted electronic device (i.e. pacemaker), you should not use the InBody machine.
Upon arriving at your InBody appointment, we will use a device called a stadiometer to accurately measure your height (first scan only). Next, you’ll use a pre-moistened towelette to remove any excess oil and/or dirt from your hands and feet. This will improve the accuracy of your scan. You will then remove any items from your pockets, jewelry, and/or excess clothing (i.e. jackets, hoodies, etc.) before stepping onto the scanner.
The scan itself will take approximately 45 seconds. Once your scan is complete, you will review your analysis results with your provider. At this time, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and further discuss your goals.
