What to Expect with Medical Weight Loss at Riverhead Wellness

We teach you a whole new way of looking at food, while scientifically proven prescription medications help you make healthy choices.

Overweight and obesity are at the center of a complex interaction between our genetic predisposition to carry weight and the environment we find ourselves in. It is important to understand that it is NOT an issue of laziness or lack of self-control. It is in fact a medical condition that requires proper treatment.

If it was simply a matter of knowing which foods to eat, most of us would not have a weight problem. The environment can be overwhelmingly stacked against us. Medications such as semaglutide, tirzepatide, and phentermine can level the playing field and empower you to make healthy choices for your life by reducing appetite and food cravings.
