What Is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss simply means losing weight with support, guidance, and ongoing management from a trained healthcare professional. At Bloom Aesthetics & Wellness, weight loss care is led by Sheila K. Rohe, MSN, CRNP, FNP-C, who has extensive experience in weight management and family medicine primary care.

Sheila works with patients of all ages to promote healthy, sustainable weight loss through a comprehensive, medical approach. As a primary care specialist, she provides individualized care that may include nutrition counseling, prescription weight loss medications, injectable therapies, and lifestyle support.

Medical weight loss goes beyond diet plans or short-term programs. It is designed to address the medical, hormonal, and metabolic factors that influence weight and long-term success. This approach is ideal for individuals who have struggled with traditional weight loss methods or want a structured, medically guided plan.

Who Should Consider Medical Weight Loss?

Sheila typically recommends medical weight loss for patients with a body mass index (BMI) over 30. Patients with a BMI of 27 or greater who also have medical conditions such as sleep apnea, hypertension, or metabolic disease may also be eligible.

Carrying excess weight, particularly around the midsection, increases the risk of chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. Taking control of your weight early may help prevent disease or slow the progression of existing conditions.

Medical weight loss may also be appropriate if you have struggled to maintain a healthy weight for five years or more and are seeking guidance from a qualified medical provider. A consultation is required to determine eligibility and create a personalized treatment plan.

Weight Loss Medications and Therapies

When clinically appropriate, medical weight loss programs at Bloom Aesthetics & Wellness may include prescription medications and injectable therapies selected based on your health profile and goals.

Tirzepatide Tirzepatide (Zepbound and Mounjaro) is an FDA-approved medication used for weight loss. It is a dual GLP-1 and GIP medication that works by decreasing appetite, helping you feel full longer, and increasing insulin production when you eat. Tirzepatide may be used for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with associated health conditions such as hypertension or high cholesterol.

Semaglutide Semaglutide (Ozempic and Wegovy) is a once-weekly injectable medication used for weight loss. It works by suppressing appetite and slowing digestion. Clinical studies have shown significant weight loss in individuals using semaglutide, particularly in those who are obese or have a high BMI and are at risk for conditions such as diabetes or heart disease.

Oral Weight Loss Medications

When appropriate, oral medications such as Phentermine, Qysima, or Contrave may be considered as part of a comprehensive plan.

Microdosing Options

Microdosing semaglutide or tirzepatide is available for patients seeking to lose a smaller amount of weight, typically 10–20 pounds. This gentle-start approach begins below standard doses and increases gradually to minimize side effects while supporting appetite control. Once goal weight is reached, a maintenance or tapering plan is implemented to support long-term success.
