Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for TMA’s Personalized Weight Management Program

1. What is TMA’s Personalized Weight Management Program?

Our program is a customized approach to weight management using advanced medications, personalized consultations, and a focus on overall health. We combine expert guidance with options like Ozempic, Tirzepatide (Mounjaro), and Semaglutide to help you achieve sustainable results.

2. How does the program work?

TMA’s program includes:

  • An initial consultation with Dr. Duncan Turner (phone consult) to assess your needs.
  • A visit with our skilled Registered Nurse (RN) to discuss protocols and medication options.
  • Tailored dosing options, including regular and microdosing.
  • Follow-up visits to monitor your progress and adjust the plan as needed.
  • Guidance on diet, exercise, and tracking tools (like MyFitnessPal).
  • At-home injection training to ensure you’re confident and comfortable.

3. What medications are offered in the program?

We offer:

  • Ozempic (Semaglutide)
  • Tirzepatide (Mounjaro)
  • Semaglutide (Multidose)

These medications are GLP-1 receptor agonists designed to regulate appetite, improve metabolism, and support weight loss.

4. Are these medications FDA-approved?

While the brand-name medications Ozempic and Tirzepatide are FDA-approved for specific uses, we also provide compounded versions of Semaglutide. Please note that compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are prescribed as an off-label application.

5. What are the benefits of GLP-1 medications?

GLP-1 medications help with:

  • Regulating appetite
  • Improving blood sugar levels
  • Supporting weight loss
  • Potentially reducing health risks associated with obesity, such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease

6. What dosing options are available?

We offer both regular dosing and microdosing options, delivered via pre-filled pens or syringes. Microdosing provides an even lower dose for those who prefer a gentler introduction to the medication.

7. What is included in the program pricing?

  • Regular Dosing Options: Starting at $1,000, includes one pen and follow-up visits.
  • Microdosing Options: Starting at $500, includes pre-filled syringes and follow-up visits.

Both options include:

  • An initial consultation with Dr. Turner
  • An initial visit with RM Haley Briscoe
  • 4-8 weeks of medication, depending on the dosing protocol
  • Follow-up visits to monitor progress and provide support

To maximize your results, we recommend:

  • Tracking caloric intake and exercise using apps like MyFitnessPal.
  • Following a balanced diet tailored to your needs, which our team can help guide you on.

Our team provides detailed instructions and at-home injection training to ensure you feel confident. You’ll learn proper techniques for administering the medication safely and effectively.

10. What are the potential side effects of these medications?

While GLP-1 medications are generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience:
