Medical Weight Loss

GLP-1 Weight Loss Programmes

Evidence-based, medically supervised weight loss — addressing the metabolic root causes that make weight so hard to shift.

Weight loss rooted in biology — because sustainable change requires more than willpower

A Medical Approach

Weight Loss That Actually Works

Sustainable weight loss isn't about willpower — it's about biology. Hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, gut dysbiosis, metabolic dysfunction, and chronic inflammation can all make it extremely difficult to lose weight, no matter how hard you try.

At KOI Wellbeing La Mesa, our weight loss programmes start with comprehensive metabolic and hormonal lab testing to understand exactly what's driving your weight gain. We then build a fully personalised programme that may include GLP-1 medications, dietary changes, hormone balancing, IV therapy support, and lifestyle coaching.

This is medicine that addresses the root cause — not a diet plan that masks it.

GLP-1 Medications

How GLP-1 Therapy Works

GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) receptor agonists are a class of medications that mimic a natural hormone your gut releases after eating. They slow gastric emptying, reduce appetite, lower blood sugar levels, and signal to your brain that you're full — making it significantly easier to eat less without hunger dominating your life.

Appetite Regulation

Significantly reduces hunger and food cravings, making caloric restriction sustainable rather than a constant struggle.

Blood Sugar Balance

Improves insulin sensitivity and stabilises blood sugar, addressing a core driver of weight gain and metabolic dysfunction.

Metabolic Benefits

Beyond weight loss, GLP-1 medications improve cardiovascular markers, reduce inflammation, and support long-term metabolic health.

Clinically Supervised

All GLP-1 prescriptions at KOI are preceded by lab testing and ongoing clinical monitoring for safety and effectiveness.

Our Primary GLP-1

Semaglutide Programme

Semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic) is currently the most effective GLP-1 medication available for weight loss. Clinical trials show average body weight reductions of 15–20% over 68 weeks when combined with lifestyle intervention.

At KOI Wellbeing La Mesa, our Semaglutide programme is medically supervised from start to finish. We begin with a full metabolic and hormonal panel, establish your starting dose, and gradually titrate upwards to minimise side effects while maximising results.

What's Included

  • Comprehensive metabolic and hormonal lab panel
  • Initial consultation and weight loss goal-setting
  • Weekly Semaglutide injections (self-administered at home)
  • Monthly check-ins and progress monitoring
  • Dietary and nutritional guidance

Comprehensive Weight Loss Support

GLP-1 medications are most effective when combined with our full-spectrum support programme. We don't just write prescriptions — we walk the journey with you.

Hormone Optimisation

Thyroid and sex hormone imbalances are common hidden drivers of weight gain — we test and treat both.

IV & Injection Support

Lipotropic injections and IV therapy to boost metabolism and prevent nutrient depletion during weight loss.

Nutritional Guidance

Personalised dietary recommendations that complement your medication and accelerate your results.

Ongoing Monitoring

Regular lab panels, weigh-ins, and clinical check-ins to track progress and fine-tune your programme.
