Start With Your Story

Your complimentary consult helps us understand your goals and real life.

Your Medical Baseline

Physical exam, bloodwork, and InBody help us avoid guesswork.

Choose Your Tools

Your plan may include medication, meal replacement, real-food planning, or a combination.

Ongoing Support

Regular visits, tracking, education, and accountability help results stick.

Step 1

Start With Your Story

Your complimentary consult is where we begin.

You’ve made it this far — now we want to hear what’s been going on. At your complimentary consultation, we learn about your goals, your challenges, and your day-to-day reality so we can recommend the best starting path for you.

What we’re listening for

  • What you’ve tried before
  • Where things tend to fall apart
  • What your schedule and stress load actually look like
  • Which level of support may fit best

Step 2

Your Medical Baseline

Before we recommend a strategy — especially if medication may be part of the plan — we need to understand what your body is doing underneath the surface.

All programs begin with:

  • Physical examination
  • Bloodwork
  • InBody body composition analysis to look at fat, muscle, and body water

Why this matters

  • A scale can’t show fat loss vs. muscle loss — body composition can.
  • Bloodwork can reveal metabolic, hormonal, and nutrient factors that may be affecting weight.
  • An EKG and medical history help ensure a plan is appropriate and safe, especially when considering certain medications.

What your bloodwork can help us understand

Your labs help us find leverage — not excuses.

Your lab panel may include markers that help guide weight management decisions, such as:

  • Blood sugar and diabetes risk, including glucose and HbA1c
  • Cholesterol and triglycerides through a lipid panel
  • Liver health through liver function tests
  • Thyroid function, including TSH
  • Nutrient status, commonly including Vitamin D and other key nutrients

This isn’t about “finding excuses.” It’s about finding leverage — so your plan matches your biology, not just your willpower.

Step 3

Choose Your Tools

After reviewing your medical history, labs, and lifestyle, Dr. Conley designs a strategy that fits your goals and your season of life.

Medication-assisted weight loss support

Medication-Assisted Weight Loss

When appropriate, Dr. Conley may prescribe FDA-approved medications as part of a comprehensive plan to reduce hunger, improve satiety, and support weight loss.

Options may include semaglutide for chronic weight management, tirzepatide for chronic weight management, or other oral or injectable medications selected based on your history, goals, and safety considerations.

Important clarity: Ozempic® is also semaglutide, but it is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, not as a weight-loss indication.

Ongoing Visits + InBody Tracking

Accountability that actually works.

Most people don’t fail because they “don’t care.” They fail because they try to do it alone with vague feedback.

At each visit, we use InBody to track key metrics over time so progress is measurable — and so we can adjust your plan when needed.

What we can monitor over time

  • Weight trends
  • Fat loss vs. muscle loss
  • Body water changes
  • Energy, hunger, and real-life consistency
  • Whether your plan needs to be adjusted

Long-term support

The Support That Makes Results Stick

Real, lasting weight loss goes beyond diet and exercise alone. Every in-person visit is designed to address the full picture — behavior, accountability, nutrition, and movement — because without these core components, weight loss simply isn’t sustainable.

Behavioral Education

We help you uncover habits and patterns that drive weight regain — and replace them with strategies you can actually sustain.

Accountability

Frequent in-person visits and coaching help you stay consistent through real life, including stress, holidays, travel, and busy seasons.

Nutritional Education

You’ll learn how food choices affect hunger, energy, and results — and how to build a long-term approach.

Physical Activity

We help you add movement in a realistic way that supports your metabolism and maintenance.

Important note: Rochester Medical Weight Loss is not a substitute for your primary care physician.

Results vary; no specific outcome or amount of weight loss can be guaranteed.
