Why KAR Medical Care Is Different
Many weight loss programs rely on fad diets, pre-packaged meals, or expensive supplements. At KAR Medical Care, we focus on what truly works—science-backed, physician-led care.
Comprehensive Metabolic & Hormonal Evaluation
Weight gain is not just about calories—it’s influenced by metabolism, hormones, and lifestyle
habits.
Our medical weight loss program includes evaluation of:
- 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 medical condition—not a lack of willpower. It affects how your body regulates hunger, stores fat, and uses energy.
Our approach focuses on:
- Addressing metabolic and hormonal imbalances
- Adapting nutrition to your body’s needs
- Restructuring habits and behaviors
- Providing ongoing medical supervision
This results in sustainable weight loss—not temporary fixes.
Prescription Weight Loss Medications
For some patients, prescription medications can significantly improve results when combined with lifestyle changes.
GLP-1 Weight Loss Injections
GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide help regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. These treatments can:
- Reduce hunger and cravings
- Slow digestion to increase fullness
- Support consistent, long-term weight loss
Expected Results:
- Semaglutide: ~15% body weight reduction
- Tirzepatide: ~20%+ weight reduction in many patients
These medications are prescribed only when appropriate and always monitored by a physician.
Other FDA-Approved Options
In addition to GLP-1 therapies, other prescription weight loss medications may be recommended based on your health profile.
Phentermine
- Helps reduce appetite
- Typically used short-term
- Average weight loss: 3–7%
All medications are carefully selected and monitored to ensure safety and effectiveness.
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.
