Medical Weight Loss

Overview

Personalized Medical Weight Loss at Mabry Medical

At Mabry Medical, we understand that weight loss is not just about eating less and exercising more. Your body is a complex system influenced by hormones, metabolism, lifestyle, and even the medications you take.

That’s why we offer a fully customized, medically supervised weight loss program designed to support your health from the inside out — mind, body, and spirit.

Why Traditional Diets Fail

Simply cutting calories may work short-term, but often leads to slowed metabolism, fatigue, and frustrating plateaus. The truth is, your body actively resists weight loss when it senses a drop in energy intake.

That’s why we dig deeper — looking at the real reasons behind weight gain, including:

  • Hormonal imbalances

  • Metabolic resistance

  • Inflammation

  • Stress

  • Poor sleep

  • Nutrient deficiencies

  • Medication side effects

Our goal is to correct these imbalances so your body naturally moves toward a healthier weight.

Your Personalized Weight Loss Plan

Your journey at Mabry Medical starts with a comprehensive evaluation, including:

  • In-depth health and lifestyle assessment

  • Hormone and lab testing

  • Body composition analysis

  • Review of current medications

  • Nutrition, exercise, and mindset coaching

We then design a customized plan tailored to your body’s needs — not a generic template.

Hormones That Affect Weight Loss

Hormonal balance plays a powerful role in weight management. We assess and optimize key hormones, including:

  • Insulin – Controls blood sugar and fat storage

  • Thyroid hormones – Regulate metabolism and energy

  • Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone – Influence fat distribution and appetite

  • Cortisol – Linked to stress-related weight gain

  • Leptin & Ghrelin – Control hunger and fullness signals

We use this insight to create a plan that helps your body burn fat more efficiently.

Smarter Exercise for Better Results

Think walking or counting steps is enough? Think again.

For cardio to burn fat effectively, your heart rate must reach 80% of your maximum for at least 45–50 minutes — a challenge for most busy adults.

That’s why we focus on strength training, which helps:

  • Build lean muscle

  • Boost resting metabolism

  • Burn more calories — even while you sleep

We’ll guide you with simple, time-efficient workouts that deliver results.

Medications That Help — or Hurt — Weight Loss

Some medications make it harder to lose weight — even if they’re not for weight-related issues. At Mabry Medical, we:

  • Review your current prescriptions

  • Identify any drugs that may contribute to weight gain

  • Recommend safe, effective weight loss medications if appropriate

Our goal is to ensure nothing stands in the way of your success.

Key Components of Your Personalized Weight Loss Program

At Mabry Medical, we believe in a comprehensive, customized approach. Your weight loss plan will be built around these four essential pillars:

1. Medication Support

We use clinically proven medications to support your weight loss — always tailored to your health profile and goals.

  • We often start with Phentermine, a well-established appetite suppressant, if there are no contraindications.

  • Depending on your response, we may introduce additional medications to optimize your results.

  • All medications are carefully selected based on your medical history, lab work, and personal needs.

2. Nutrition & Blood Sugar Balance

The foundation of your diet plan is blood sugar stabilization, which is essential for appetite control, energy, and fat burning.

  • We emphasize reducing simple carbohydrates and increasing lean protein intake.

  • This approach supports steady energy levels, fewer cravings, and improved fat metabolism.

  • You’ll receive clear, actionable guidance — no crash diets or guesswork.

3. Targeted Exercise Plan

Our approach to exercise prioritizes efficiency and long-term results.

  • We focus on resistance training over cardio. Why? Because:

    • Most cardio workouts are too short or low-intensity to burn fat effectively.

    • Weight training builds lean muscle, boosting your metabolism and calorie burn at rest.

  • You can get a high-impact workout in just 30 minutes, making it easier to stay consistent.

4. Addressing Underlying Issues

For many, weight gain is driven by deeper health factors. We investigate and treat conditions that may be standing in your way, including:

  • Thyroid dysfunction

  • Menopause or perimenopause

  • Chronic stress and cortisol imbalance

  • Other hormonal or metabolic issues

By identifying and addressing these root causes, we help you achieve lasting, meaningful progress.

Why Mabry Medical Is Different

At Mabry Medical, we don’t believe in quick fixes — we believe in real, sustainable results backed by medical science.

The truth is, weight loss is a medical specialty, not a one-size-fits-all formula. Unfortunately, the $71 billion weight loss industry is full of programs that promise fast, effortless results using:

  • Fad diets and meal replacements

  • Over-the-counter supplements

  • "Weight loss gadgets" and gimmicks

These solutions may offer short-term results, but they often fail in the long run because they don’t address the root causes of weight gain.

A Scientific, Personalized Approach to Weight Loss

At Mabry Medical, we treat weight loss as the complex, individual process it truly is. Our clinic is built on:

  • 8+ years of experience serving patients in Northwest Arkansas

  • A deep understanding of the body’s energy regulation, hormones, and metabolism

  • A focus on customized care — not cookie-cutter plans

We carefully evaluate your:

  • Hormonal health (insulin, thyroid, cortisol, sex hormones, etc.)

  • Metabolic function

  • Current medications and medical history

  • Nutritional needs and lifestyle

  • Stress levels, sleep, and more

Then, we create a tailored plan that combines medication, nutrition, and exercise — designed specifically for your body, your life, and your goals.

What Is Body Composition — and Why Does It Matter?

 

When it comes to evaluating your health, body weight alone doesn’t tell the full story.

At Mabry Medical, we use body composition analysis to break your weight down into its core components:

  • Fat mass

  • Lean muscle mass

  • Body water

  • Minerals (like bone density)

This gives us a far more accurate picture of your health than traditional methods like BMI or the number on a scale.

Body Composition vs. BMI: What’s the Difference?

You’ve probably heard of BMI (Body Mass Index) — a simple calculation that compares your weight to your height. While it’s commonly used, BMI has important limitations and doesn’t tell the whole story about your health.

Why BMI falls short

  • It provides only one number based on height and weight

  • It can’t tell the difference between fat and muscle

  • It often misses real progress, like fat loss or muscle gain

  • It doesn’t account for age, gender, or activity level

Why Body Composition Matters for Your Health

When your goal is to get healthier, you’re probably aiming to:

  • Lose fat

  • Build muscle

  • Improve your metabolism

Traditional weight measurements and BMI can’t tell you if your weight loss is coming from fat, muscle, or even water — but body composition analysis can.

It allows us to:

  • Monitor real progress (not just pounds lost)

  • Track lean muscle gain and fat reduction

  • Adjust your plan based on real-time data

  • Ensure you're improving your health, not just shrinking in size

Precision You Can Feel Confident In

Whether you're just starting your weight loss journey or fine-tuning your fitness, body composition is an essential tool in designing a personalized plan that works for your body.

We use this advanced measurement to help you:

  • Understand your true health status

  • Set realistic, meaningful goals

  • Measure the success of your treatment beyond the scale

Take the Guesswork Out of Weight Loss

Body composition testing is quick, non-invasive, and part of every comprehensive program at Mabry Medical. Stop relying on outdated tools like BMI — and start getting insights that truly matter.

Bio-impedance Analysis

What Is BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis)?

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) is a quick, painless, and non-invasive method for accurately measuring body composition — and it’s far more advanced than your bathroom scale.

At Mabry Medical, we use clinically validated BIA technology to give you real-time insights into your health, tracking:

  • Body fat percentage

  • Lean muscle mass

  • Body water (intra- and extracellular fluid)

  • Overall composition and balance

Fast, Comfortable, and Precise

The entire BIA procedure takes just a few minutes in our clinic and is as easy and comfortable as standing on a scale.

  • Small electrodes (similar to EKG pads) are placed on your hands and feet.

  • A harmless, imperceptible electrical current passes through your body.

  • The analyzer measures how your body resists or conducts electricity.

How It Works

  • Lean tissue (like muscle) contains a high percentage of water and conducts electricity well.

  • Fat tissue contains much less water and resists electrical current.

By analyzing the resistance and conductivity of different tissues, the BIA device provides a detailed breakdown of your body’s composition.

What’s a Healthy Body Fat Range?

While every body is unique, general optimal body fat percentages are:

  • Women: 15% – 25%

  • Men: 10% – 20%

Understanding where you fall within this range allows us to track fat loss, muscle gain, and hydration levels — all key factors in sustainable health and weight management.

Why We Use BIA at Mabry Medical

Unlike traditional weight or BMI measurements, BIA gives us the tools to:

  • Track true fat loss — not just weight loss

  • Monitor muscle preservation or gain

  • Adjust your treatment plan with precision

  • Celebrate meaningful progress — not just pounds on a scale

GLP-1 Weightloss Shots

Compounded GLP-1-Type Medications Available

we can perscribe custom-compounded medications designed to act on GLP-1 receptors — including compounded versions of semaglutide and tirzepatide — through licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies.

These are not the same as the FDA-approved brand-name drugs and are not manufactured or affiliated with their makers, such as:

  • Ozempic®

  • Wegovy®

  • Mounjaro®

  • Zepbound®

While they contain the same active pharmaceutical ingredients, the formulations, delivery systems, and regulatory status are different.

What You Need to Know

  • Compounded GLP-1-type medications are prepared by certified compounding pharmacies that follow rigorous quality and safety standards.

  • These medications are offered by prescription only and are available to qualifying patients as part of a supervised medical weight loss plan.

  • They are not FDA-approved but are commonly used under medical supervision where brand-name medications may be cost-prohibitive or unavailable.

How These Medications Work

Compounded GLP-1-type medications are used to support weight loss by helping to:

  • Regulate appetite and reduce cravings

  • Improve blood sugar and insulin sensitivity

  • Slow gastric emptying, so you feel fuller, longer

  • Enhance fat metabolism

The result is more consistent weight loss, better appetite control, and improved metabolic balance.

Curious If This Is Right for You?

At Mabry Medical, we’ll assess your health, goals, and medical history to determine if a compounded GLP-1-type therapy is the right fit. You'll receive expert guidance, safe prescribing, and ongoing support throughout your journey.
