Achieving meaningful, sustainable weight loss often requires more than dieting alone. At Weight Loss Clinic Los Angeles, patients receive physician-guided medical weight loss care designed around their health history, body composition, metabolic health, goals, and individual response to treatment.
Our medical weight loss programs may include prescription weight loss injections such as semaglutide or tirzepatide when clinically appropriate, along with nutrition guidance, body-composition monitoring, laboratory evaluation, lifestyle recommendations, supplements, and ongoing physician management.
Medical Weight Loss Consultation
Modern weight loss medications can help eligible patients reduce appetite, improve satiety, and support meaningful weight reduction when combined with appropriate medical supervision and lifestyle changes.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that may help eligible patients reduce hunger, feel full sooner, and consume fewer calories.
Our physician-guided semaglutide program includes individualized medical evaluation, dosing recommendations when appropriate, progress monitoring, and ongoing management.
Semaglutide Weight Loss Program: $300/month
Tirzepatide acts on both GIP and GLP-1 pathways and may produce significant weight loss in appropriate patients.
Treatment is individualized based on medical history, treatment response, tolerability, laboratory findings, and weight-loss goals.
Tirzepatide Weight Loss Program: $499/month
Emerging Weight-Loss Therapy
Retatrutide is an investigational once-weekly triple agonist that targets GIP, GLP-1 and glucagon receptors. It is being developed by Eli Lilly for obesity and related cardiometabolic conditions. Unlike semaglutide, which primarily targets GLP-1, and tirzepatide, which targets GIP and GLP-1, retatrutide is designed to act on three metabolic pathways.
Phase 3 studies reported substantial average weight reduction in adults with obesity, but retatrutide is not currently FDA-approved and is not offered by our clinic outside an authorized clinical trial. We do not recommend purchasing products marketed online as retatrutide because their identity, purity, dosing and safety cannot be verified.
Our physician can discuss currently approved weight-management options, review whether GLP-1 or dual-agonist treatment may be appropriate for you, and help you understand emerging therapies as new evidence and regulatory decisions become available.

Medical content reviewed against current manufacturer and clinical-trial information. Retatrutide remains investigational as of September 2026.
Successful medical weight loss should address the person—not simply prescribe medication.

Experienced Medical Oversight
Care is guided by Dr. David Nazarian, a board-certified internal medicine physician, with treatment individualized to each patient’s medical history, metabolic health, medications, goals and response to therapy.
Weight loss medications have become widely available, but appropriate patient selection, dosing, monitoring, and long-term planning remain important.
Our programs are overseen by an experienced board-certified internal medicine physician with extensive experience in medical weight management, metabolic health, medications, supplements, and individualized patient care.
Rather than using a one-size-fits-all protocol, treatment recommendations are based on your overall health, medications, medical history, previous weight-loss attempts, laboratory findings, body composition, and goals.
Weight loss medications may be considered for adults who have overweight or obesity and meet appropriate clinical criteria.
During your consultation, we review factors including:
Not every medication is appropriate for every patient. Treatment recommendations are made following medical evaluation.
Your first visit is designed to identify factors that may be contributing to difficulty losing weight and determine which treatment options may be appropriate.
We review your health history, previous weight-loss efforts, medications, dietary habits, exercise patterns, sleep, stress, and weight-related concerns.
Weight alone does not tell the entire story. Body composition may help evaluate changes in body fat and lean mass during treatment.
Depending on your history, laboratory testing may be recommended to evaluate metabolic or hormonal factors that can affect weight.
Your physician develops a personalized program that may include medication, nutrition strategies, activity recommendations, supplements, and other supportive therapies.
Treatment is adjusted based on weight loss, appetite, side effects, laboratory findings, body composition, and overall health.
Weight loss medications can be highly effective for appropriately selected patients, but medical supervision provides several important advantages.
We monitor:
Our goal is not simply rapid weight loss. The goal is healthier, sustainable weight management.
Weight loss can involve loss of both fat and lean body mass.
Our programs emphasize strategies designed to support muscle preservation, including adequate protein intake, resistance exercise when medically appropriate, nutritional guidance, and body-composition monitoring.
Maintaining lean mass can be particularly important for metabolic health and long-term weight maintenance.
Medication works best when combined with sustainable behavioral changes.
We help patients develop practical strategies around:
The objective is to create habits that can continue even as medication doses change or treatment eventually stops.
$300 per month
$499 per month
Medication treatment requires an initial comprehensive medical evaluation. Additional laboratory testing or other services may be recommended depending on the individual patient’s health history and treatment plan.
Pricing and medication availability may change. Treatment requires medical eligibility.

GLP-1-based medications are among the most commonly used prescription treatments for medical weight management. Semaglutide and tirzepatide are two medications frequently discussed with eligible patients.
Weight-loss response varies considerably from person to person and depends on the medication, dose, treatment duration, nutrition, activity, medical conditions, and individual biology. Your physician can discuss realistic expectations based on your individual situation.
There is no single medication that is best for everyone. Tirzepatide and semaglutide work somewhat differently, and treatment selection should consider medical history, previous treatment, goals, tolerability, contraindications, and other clinical factors.
No. Retatrutide remains an investigational medication and is not currently FDA-approved. It should only be used within an authorized clinical trial. Patients interested in newer weight-management therapies can schedule a physician consultation to discuss currently approved options and emerging treatments as evidence and regulatory guidance evolve.
Many patients notice appetite changes relatively early during treatment, while meaningful weight reduction typically develops over time. Medications are generally started at lower doses and adjusted gradually when appropriate.
Laboratory testing may be recommended depending on your medical history, medications, symptoms, and risk factors.
Weight regain can occur after discontinuing weight-loss medication. Long-term nutrition, activity, muscle preservation, behavioral changes, and an individualized maintenance strategy are therefore important parts of treatment.
Prescription weight-loss medications have potential benefits, contraindications, side effects, and risks. They should be used only when medically appropriate and under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
Yes. Our Los Angeles practice serves patients from throughout the greater Los Angeles area, including Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Hollywood, Century City, and surrounding communities.
If you are interested in semaglutide, tirzepatide, or other physician-guided approaches to weight management, schedule a comprehensive consultation.
We will evaluate your medical history, goals, body composition, metabolic health, previous treatments, and appropriate options before developing an individualized treatment plan.
