A Team Built for Weight Loss
Weight loss is all we do. Our clinicians, dietitian, and support staff work together on every case. That focus means deeper expertise, tighter coordination, and fewer things falling through the cracks.
Our Approach
Every patient gets a prescribing clinician and a registered dietitian working together under one roof — not separate referrals to different offices. When your dietitian spots something in your food journal, your clinician hears about it. When your dose changes, your dietitian adjusts your nutrition plan.
One team. One plan. Your clinician and dietitian work together on every case — not as separate referrals.
Clinical Team
Our prescribing clinicians are board-certified and specifically trained in obesity medicine. They do not rotate through weight loss as one of many service lines — this is their area of clinical focus.
- Board-certified clinicians specializing in obesity medicine and chronic weight management
- Experienced with GLP-1 prescribing — including Wegovy (semaglutide) and Zepbound (tirzepatide)
- Trained in insurance navigation and prior authorization processes for GLP-1 medications
- Thorough clinical evaluations — medical history review, lab assessment, and individualized treatment planning
Your first visit is a full clinical evaluation — not a five-minute video call. Your clinician reviews labs, assesses medication candidacy, and builds your treatment plan. Follow-ups track your progress and adjust dosing as needed.
Registered Dietitian
PEAK has a dedicated registered dietitian (RD) who works alongside the clinical team — not as a separate referral you have to seek out on your own. This integration is central to how we deliver care.
Our RD specializes in nutrition during GLP-1 treatment, which presents unique challenges and opportunities that a general nutrition counselor may not fully understand. Key areas of focus include:
- Protein preservation — maintaining lean muscle mass while losing fat during GLP-1 treatment
- Side effect management through diet — nausea mitigation, appetite changes, and digestive adjustments
- Building sustainable habits — creating eating patterns that last beyond medication use
- Nutrient optimization — ensuring adequate vitamin, mineral, and fiber intake as portion sizes decrease
When you eat significantly less on GLP-1 medication, proper nutrition guidance prevents muscle loss and nutrient gaps. Our dietitian makes sure the weight you lose stays off.
Insurance & Patient Support
GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Zepbound often require prior authorization from insurance companies. This process can be time-consuming and frustrating for patients to handle on their own. At PEAK, you do not have to.
Our dedicated insurance and patient support team handles:
- Insurance verification — confirming your coverage and estimated costs before your first visit
- Prior authorizations — submitting and tracking authorization requests with your insurance provider
- Appeals — advocating on your behalf if an initial authorization is denied
- Patient scheduling — coordinating appointments so your clinical and nutrition visits work together
Our team contacts your insurance provider before your appointment so you know your estimated costs upfront. We accept Anthem, Cigna, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Sentara, and TRICARE (commercial plans). We do not accept Medicare or Medicaid, including Medicaid managed care plans.
Many patients tell us that insurance paperwork is one of the most stressful parts of starting weight loss treatment. We built this support into our team structure specifically so patients can focus on their health, not on paperwork.
Why This Matters
With telehealth-only services, you typically get a remote prescriber and no dietitian, no in-person evaluation, and no insurance support. Med spas may offer GLP-1 injections, but weight management usually isn't their focus. At PEAK, you get a full clinical evaluation, coordinated care between your clinician and dietitian, and staff who handle insurance on your behalf.
