Who Can Benefit From Medical Weight Loss With GLP-1s & Other Weight Loss Medications?

GLP-1s & other weight loss medications are powerful tools for those struggling with obesity or weight-related health conditions. These medications work by regulating appetite, improving insulin sensitivity, and promoting satiety. You may be a candidate if:

  • You’ve tried lifestyle changes without success

  • You struggle with cravings or binge eating

  • You have conditions like PCOS, insulin resistance, or prediabetes

  • You’re ready for a medically monitored, long-term solution

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Weight Loss

What is different about Genesis Weight & Wellness that I can’t get at other practices or online?

I adhere to a Direct Care model that operates without the constraints of insurance billing, enabling me to prioritize the kind of care we all want. I am your concierge weight loss doctor. Direct Care enables me to take on a reduced patient load, ensuring convenient access for visits or inquiries, extended time for appointments, and transparent pricing. This model represents a return to genuine patient-doctor relationships, fostering an environment conducive to delivering optimal care.

What is the average cost of a medical weight loss clinic?

Costs can vary widely, but at Genesis Weight & Wellness, I believe in transparency. Our Direct Care membership is $365/month (or $2000 one-time payment) for Phase One; and $250/visit for Phase Two. Medications are typically separate and may be covered by insurance or paid out of pocket, depending on the prescription.

Does insurance cover medical weight loss?

We do not bill insurance directly. This allows us to spend more time with patients and provide high quality, personalized care. Your pharmacy benefits may cover some medications; we’ll help you explore your options.

What kind of doctor will prescribe weight loss medication?

Being a physician trained in obesity medicine and family medicine gives me the ability to see the bigger picture. At Genesis Weight & Wellness, Dr. Codrea is board-certified in both, ensuring expert, safe prescribing.

How do weight loss medications work?

GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic a natural hormone that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar. These medications slow gastric emptying, increase satiety, and help the brain feel full—making it easier to eat less without feeling deprived. Other weight loss medications work as appetite suppressants, fat absorption inhibitors, or metabolic enhancers. Each type of medication works differently, and the right one depends on your individual health needs, goals, and how your body responds to treatment.
