Medical weight loss & GLP-1 therapy in Saginaw, MI

 
  • Weight loss is rarely just about willpower — and if you've tried diet after diet without lasting results, there's a reason. At Plasencia Family Medicine, we approach weight management as the complex medical issue it is, combining the latest evidence-based treatments with personalized lifestyle guidance to help you achieve results that actually last.

  • GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) have transformed medical weight loss. As your primary care physician, we can evaluate whether you are a candidate, prescribe and monitor your medication, and adjust your plan over time — all within the practice you already trust. No separate weight loss clinic required.

  • We use body composition measurements to track what matters most: changes in fat mass, muscle mass, and metabolic health — not just your weight. This gives us a clearer picture of your progress and helps us fine-tune your treatment plan for better, longer-lasting results.

Weight loss treatment is not one-size-fits-all. We take the time to understand your health history, your goals, and your life before recommending any treatment. Our goal isn't a quick fix — it's a healthier, stronger you, for the long run.
