Your path to real weight loss begins here
Yet, after trying countless diets and quick fixes, it’s easy to feel like nothing truly lasts. The reality is, lasting results come from understanding why weight gain happens in the first place—not just following another restrictive plan.
At Elle MD, we take a deeper approach, looking at the role your hormones, metabolism, nutrition, and daily habits play in your weight. Instead of offering generic solutions, we craft a personalized plan that fits your body and lifestyle. You deserve more than short-term progress—you deserve to feel strong, confident, and in control of your health for the long run
Finding a weight loss plan that actually works shouldn’t feel impossible.
Most conventional approaches emphasize calorie restriction and exercise without considering key factors like hormones or metabolism.
Your weight is shaped by interconnected factors such as sleep, stress, and nutrition. Ignoring these complexities often leads to frustration.
Crash diets and restrictive plans fail to offer lasting results, leaving you stuck in a cycle of short-term progress and setbacks.

FAQ´s
How do I know if I need medical weight loss?
How do I know if I need weight loss medications?
At Elle MD in Canton, Michigan, we offer personalized weight loss programs tailored to your specific needs, from medication-free solutions to FDA-approved and compounded medications. For the best results, we recommend combining these medications with lifestyle changes such as healthy eating, regular exercise, and adequate sleep. Since there are many factors to consider when starting weight loss medication, it's important to discuss your options with your doctor.
How do I know if I qualify for weight loss medication?
Weight loss medications are FDA-approved for patients with obesity, defined as a BMI > 30kg/m2, or for patients with overweight (BMI 27-29 kg/m2) AND the presence of another weight-related condition such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, PCOS, Obstructive Sleep Apnea or high cholesterol.
Which weight loss medications do you prescribe?
At Elle MD, we prescribe Tirzepatide (Zepbound), Semaglutide (Wegovy), Phentermine, Qsymia (phentermine/topirmatate), Contrave (bupropion/naltrexone). Your weight loss medication will be carefully selected based on your unique medical history, needs, and preferences. We will also consider your insurance coverage to ensure the best possible treatment plan.
Do you accept insurance?
At our practice, we don’t accept insurance to avoid the limitations imposed by traditional models. This allows us to focus on delivering personalized, comprehensive care that supports the long-term health and success of our patients.
What happens if my insurance doesn't cover weight loss medications?
Since many insurance plans don’t cover weight loss medications, we’ll work with you to find solutions, such as paying out-of-pocket, using coupons or savings cards, or exploring compounded medications. Our weight loss programs are thoughtfully designed to accommodate these financial needs.
How long will I need the medication?
For some individuals, long-term weight loss medication may be necessary to meet health goals. At Elle MD, we’ll collaborate with you to create a personalized plan to taper off medication while preserving your weight loss. Our approach incorporates proven strategies, including lifestyle modifications and continued support, to deliver long-lasting results.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept payment by cash, check, VISA, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. We also accept most FSA/HSA
