How do I know if I need medical weight loss?
If losing weight feels like an endless cycle of trying and failing, you're not alone. Many people spend years testing different diets and exercise plans, only to see little or no lasting success. Others struggle with weight changes due to hormonal shifts, menopause, or metabolic imbalances that make traditional approaches ineffective. If you feel stuck, uncertain about what to do next, or frustrated with plans that don’t consider your unique body and lifestyle, there’s a better way.
Medical weight loss isn’t just about the number on the scale—it’s about understanding the deeper factors at play and building a plan that truly works for you. At Elle MD, we help you take a science-backed, personalized approach so you can achieve sustainable results.

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.
