Men's Medical Weight Loss in Texas
Prescription weight loss through metabolic testing, physician-guided protocols, and ongoing monitoring from home.
BMI Calculator
BMI, or Body Mass Index, is a simple screening tool that estimates whether your weight is in a healthy range for your height. It can be useful for spotting possible weight-related health risks, but it does not directly measure body fat or overall health.
Your BMI
—
- Underweight< 18.5
- Healthy Weight18.5 – 24.9
- Overweight25 – 29.9
- Obesity> 30
See if weight loss treatments could be right for you.
BMI is a general screening tool and does not directly measure body fat or overall health, so it may not be accurate for everyone. This calculator does not guarantee eligibility for weight loss medication, only a licensed healthcare provider can determine whether medication is appropriate based on your full health history.
We get it
Weight loss is hard.
If you’re here, you probably already know what you need to do. Eat less, move more, stay consistent. The challenge is that sustaining a caloric deficit is harder than most people expect, especially when your hormones, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic rate are working against you. GLP-1’s and other medications can make it easier to eat less as they suppress appetite, change how your body processes food, and for a lot of men, they quiet the constant impulse to eat (known as “food noise”) that makes a sustained deficit feel impossible.
But a prescription without a real plan behind it is a temporary fix. We prescribe what’s appropriate based on your needs, and we help guide the nutrition, lifestyle, training, and monitoring so the results outlast the medication.
WEIGHT LOSS: THE ALCHEMICAL WAY
Your labs and how you feel, together
Two people at the same weight can have completely different metabolic profiles and a totally different clinical picture. Your provider uses all of it together, not a standard dosing chart.
Your protocol adapts as your body does
Weight loss changes your physiology over time, and your treatment is reviewed and adjusted to reflect where you are in your progress. Dosage, frequency, and medication choice can change based on your response, your labs, and your goals.
Ongoing Care
Working with your medical provider does not end with the prescription. Follow-up visits, lab reviews, and adjustments to your plan happen as your goals and your body change over time.

Why We Test More Than Most
Excess weight creates downstream effects on your body. A standard physical won't catch most of them, which is why our panels go deeper.
HORMONAL
- Testosterone: Body fat contains an enzyme called aromatase that converts your testosterone into estrogen, and the more fat you carry, the more active it is
- Estradiol: Elevated estrogen in men contributes to fat retention and, in some cases, breast tissue development
METABOLIC
- Fasing Insulin: One of the earliest markers of metabolic dysfunction, often elevated for years before glucose looks abnormal
- HbA1c: A three-month blood sugar average that catches glucose problems a single fasting reading can miss
THYROID
- Free T3: Excess weight impairs conversion of T4 into T3, the active form that drives your metabolic rate
- Free T4: When circulating T4 drops alongside poor conversion, thyroid output is suppressed from both directions
ADRENAL
- Cortisol: Chronically elevated with excess weight and promotes visceral fat storage
- DHEA-S: Declines with weight gain and age, and low levels are tied to insulin resistance, fatigue, and reduced recovery
