Why KAR Medical Care Is Different
Many programs focus on fad diets, pre packaged foods, or costly supplements. At KAR Medical Care, we do things differently
Metabolic, Hormonal & Lifestyle Evaluation
We assess how your metabolism, hormones, appetite cues, and daily habits influence your
weight. This includes evaluation of obesity-related health concerns such as:
- Type 2 diabetes & insulin resistance
- High blood pressure & heart disease
- High cholesterol & stroke risk
- Fatty liver (NAFLD)
- Sleep apnea
- Joint pain & osteoarthritis
- Hormonal imbalances, including PCOS
What Is Obesity Medicine & Why It Works
Obesity is a chronic, biologic disease, not a willpower problem. It affects metabolism, hormones,
cravings, insulin regulation, and energy balance.
Our physician-led program addresses
- Underlying biology & metabolic challenges
- Personalized dietary adaptation
- Behavior and habit restructuring
- Medical supervision and ongoing monitoring
This approach goes beyond fad diets or pre-packaged meal programs, giving patients lasting, sustainable results.
Prescription Weight Loss Medications
GLP-1 Medications (Semaglutide & Tirzepatide)
GLP-1 medications mimic a natural hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar. They help
- Reduce hunger signals
- Slow stomach emptying
- Increase feelings of fullness
- Support sustainable weight management
Examples & Average Weight Loss
- Semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic): ~15% body weight reduction over 68 weeks
- Tirzepatide (Zepbound/Mounjaro): ~20%+ body weight reduction at higher doses
Medications are prescribed only when medically appropriate and always combined with diet, education, and lifestyle guidance. Individual results vary.
Other FDA-Approved Prescription Options
Other medications may be appropriate for certain patients.
Phentermine
- ReduceMechanism: Appetite suppressant hunger signals
- Use: Typically short-term (12–16 weeks) as part of a comprehensive program
- Average weight loss: ~3–7% of body weight
Other options may include combination medications or other FDA-approved drugs, depending on medical history, comorbidities, and safety considerations. All medications are carefully monitored by a physician.
Common Side Effects
GLP-1 Medications
- Nausea, vomiting
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Abdominal discomfort
Most side effects improve over time. Rare but serious risks (e.g., pancreatitis, gallbladder issues) are discussed during consultation.
Phentermine
- Dry mouth, insomnia, nervousness
- Slight increase in heart rate or blood pressure
All side effects are monitored closely for safety.

Weight Loss Injections – Safe and Effective Options
Many people today are looking for weight loss injections because injections can help control hunger and improve weight loss results when used correctly.
At KAR Medical Care, weight loss injections are
- Prescribed by a licensed doctor
- Medically approved
- Carefully monitored for safety
- Combined with lifestyle guidance
These injections help reduce appetite, control cravings, and support steady weight loss.
Semaglutide Weight Loss Program
One of our most popular treatments is the semaglutide weight loss program. Semaglutide is a prescription medication that helps regulate appetite and food intake.
Benefits of the Semaglutide Weight Loss Program
- Helps you feel full faster
- Reduces food cravings
- Supports gradual and healthy weight loss
- Doctor-supervised for safety
This program is suitable for many adults who want medical help with weight loss. Your doctor will decide if semaglutide is right for you after evaluation.
Prescription Weight Loss Medication
For some patients, prescription weight loss medication is an effective option. These medications are not available over the counter and must be prescribed by a doctor.
At KAR Medical Care, we
- Prescribe medication only when medically needed
- Monitor progress and side effects
- Adjust dosage when required
- Combine medication with nutrition and lifestyle support
Prescription medications work best when used as part of a complete medical weight loss program.
Following the second visit, each subsequent appointment will involve a comprehensive assessment of your diet, exercise routine, lifestyle changes, and the potential need for clinical support. When medically warranted, we offer physician-supervised clinical weight management options, after conducting a thorough review of your medical history to determine the most suitable option. Electrocardiogram (EKG) evaluations may be performed in-office before initiating medication therapy to assess cardiac health.
- Certain medications used for diabetes, may aid in weight loss but are typically not covered for this purpose by insurance.
- Coverage for weight loss medications by insurance providers varies, with many either not covering them at all or offering partial coverage.
- While we aim to provide the best medical care, due to the shortage of medical weight loss solutions and limited insurance coverage, we are unable to check the coverage of weight loss medications with your insurance. However, we will assist in obtaining assistance with insurance documentation if required by your insurance.
- We do not prescribe medications through compound pharmacies, as compounded medications are not FDA-approved, and we do not endorse their use for weight loss.

- Meal replacements or packaged foods only
