Medical Weight Loss
St. Pete

Medical weight loss at Arch Medical Group in St. Pete is designed for adults who have struggled to achieve meaningful, lasting results through diet and exercise alone, particularly those dealing with underlying factors such as hormonal imbalances, metabolic challenges, or obesity-related health conditions. Candidacy is determined through a comprehensive evaluation that takes your full health history, current medications, and weight loss goals into account. Scheduling a consultation with our team is the best first step toward finding out whether our program is the right fit for you.

As with any prescription medication, semaglutide may cause side effects in some patients. The most commonly reported effects include nausea, bloating, and mild digestive discomfort, particularly during the early weeks of treatment as the body adjusts. These responses are generally temporary and can often be minimized by starting at a lower dose and increasing gradually over time. Your provider at Arch Medical Group will monitor your progress closely throughout your program and can make adjustments to keep you comfortable.

Yes, and this is an area where Arch Medical Group in St. Pete is particularly well-positioned to help. Hormonal shifts — including those associated with menopause, low testosterone, or thyroid dysfunction — can significantly impact metabolism and make weight management much more difficult despite consistent effort. Because our team also offers hormone therapy for both men and women, we can evaluate whether hormonal factors are contributing to your weight challenges and address them as part of a coordinated, whole-body treatment plan.

Reaching your goal weight is a significant achievement, and at Arch Medical Group we work with you beyond the initial weight loss phase to help you sustain your results long-term. This may include transitioning or tapering your medication, continuing with elements of the Bedrock Body Reboot program, and ongoing lifestyle guidance to support your progress. Our focus is always on lasting, meaningful outcomes, and our team will remain a resource for support and monitoring even after your primary weight loss goals have been met.

Yes, many patients achieve stronger and more comprehensive results by pairing their medical weight loss program with other services available at Arch Medical Group. IV therapy, hormone therapy, and other wellness treatments can complement your weight loss plan by supporting energy levels, metabolic function, and overall health. Your provider will evaluate your full health picture during your consultation and recommend a coordinated approach that helps you reach your goals from multiple angles simultaneously.
