This program delivers medically supervised weight loss assistance, including prescription medications, under the guidance of experienced weight loss physicians. We operate two medical weight loss clinics in the Los Angeles area (Sylmar and Canoga Park) and also provide telehealth services for California residents.
To ensure your safety, you will be continuously monitored by a team of professionals specializing in weight management. This oversight ensures effective weight loss while addressing any potential issues.
All visits include a consultation. The initial visit starts from $80, with the exact price varying based on the chosen treatment.
This program differentiates itself by focusing on teaching participants how to eat, rather than dictating specific foods. We emphasize establishing healthier habits to promote intuitive eating, rather than overeating, which is a primary factor in weight gain.
To begin the program, simply contact one of our two medical weight loss clinics.
If you are over the age of 18 and desire weight loss, we recommend scheduling a consultation. The program is suitable for adults with various weight loss needs, whether it's 15 pounds or 300. We have successfully assisted individuals of all sizes in achieving their ideal weight. While some health restrictions may apply, we encourage everyone to contact one of our medical weight loss clinics to schedule a consultation to determine individual suitability.
Most patients typically remain in the program for 3-6 months. However, the length of the program is tailored to the individual's weight loss goals, and some clients may require a longer period.
No appointment is necessary. You may visit the office as long as you arrive at least one hour before closing (either for lunch or end of day).
We offer GLP-1 injectable medications such as Tirzepatide and Semaglutide, including custom formulations for maximum effectiveness. We also offer several FDA-approved oral medications, including Phentermine, Tenuate, and Bontril. We supplement these prescription medicines with a variety of natural supplements and injectables to tailor a program specifically for you.
The price of your visit depends on the specific number and types of treatments you choose. Our experts will help you get the maximum benefit at very reasonable prices.
All of our prescription medicines are FDA - approved for weight loss. Our natural products are carefully sourced for the highest quality standards, and our patients are carefully monitored for any adverse reactions.
Phentermine is an FDA-approved medication used to help suppress hunger. It is utilized for its proven efficacy and safety in assisting patients to "retrain their brain" to eat only when hungry and to avoid overly large portions..
Super B12 is a B-complex injection. This injection helps to overcome sugar cravings, and improve carbohydrate metabolism. It also can reduce side effects associated with GLP-1 treatments.
Intermittent fasting is a dietary approach that involves cycling between periods of fasting and eating. While various types exist, all involve periods of calorie restriction. The most popular cycle involves fasting for 16 hours, three to seven times per week. Other cycles may include shorter fasting windows. Intermittent fasting offers numerous proven health and weight loss benefits, and we encourage program participants to discuss intermittent fasting with our team.
Fasting is the single most effective way to lose weight quickly. It is very safe when properly managed. We often start our patients off with 3 days of fasting.
Individual results vary and cannot be guaranteed. However, some patients have lost as much as 5-8 lbs in the first week, and weight loss of 20 lbs in the first month is not uncommon.
The only thing we ask you to give up for a limited time is sugar. Protein, carbohydrates, and fats all have a place in a balanced diet. Portions and timing are often more important than specific food selections.
Water is vital for health, and many individuals do not consume enough. Insufficient hydration can trigger hunger signals, leading to eating when not truly hungry. We emphasize adequate daily water intake.
Exercising too much while at a heavy weight can cause unwanted problems, including joint pain and even injury. The key is to start off slowly, and increase gradually as your body adjusts.
Upon reaching your target weight, you will have developed healthier eating habits to maintain your results. Many members appreciate the personalized experience with our team and choose to enroll in a separate maintenance program for continued support to ensure their results are sustained.
We go based on the individual’s BMI (Body Mass Index). You can lose anywhere from 6-12 pounds in the first week! After the first week, you can expect to lose 2-3 pounds weekly, as long as you follow our program and recommendations.
No. This program is not an insurance-based program.
We accept cash and all major credit/debit cards.
Once you have enrolled with Healthy Steps, you are welcome to utilize services at any of our locations.
