Weight Loss Medications

Prescription medications can be a powerful tool in supporting your weight loss efforts, especially when paired with functional medicine insights. We offer options like Semaglutides, a GLP-1 medication, and other similar medications shown to support appetite regulation, blood sugar balance, and overall metabolic health.

When used under medical supervision, medications like Semaglutide and other medications can help:

  • Reduce cravings
  • Increase satiety (feeling of fullness)
  • Improve insulin sensitivity

These benefits can make it easier to stick with healthy habits and see real, lasting progress. If you’re looking for a weight loss program in Houston, TX that combines medical support with root-cause insights, our weight loss program may be a great fit for your long-term goals.

Rapid Weight Loss

Sometimes you need results, fast. Whether you’re preparing for a special event or simply ready to make a big change. Our Rapid Weight Loss Program combines expert medical oversight with personalized plans for quick, healthy results. We focus on:

  • Calorie and nutrient monitoring
  • Hormone injections
  • Preserving lean muscle during fat loss

This short-term plan will jumpstart your weight loss journey while building the foundation for long-term success. It’s also a popular option for those seeking a weight loss program that yields real results without compromising health.

GAPS Diet

Your gut plays a big role in how your body feels, functions, and even how it manages weight. That’s why improving digestive health is often a key part of effective weight management, especially for those dealing with chronic symptoms.

As Certified GAPS Diet Practitioners, we use this therapeutic approach to help reduce inflammation, repair the gut lining, and support natural detox pathways. The GAPS diet focuses on nutrient-dense, gut-healing foods to restore balance for those with:

  • Chronic inflammation
  • Leaky gut or digestive issues
  • Food sensitivities
  • Mood swings or imbalances
  • Other mental health issues
  • Autoimmune disease

By restoring balance in the gut, the GAPS protocol can naturally support better health, improved metabolism, and long-term weight stability.

Metabolic Rate Analysis

Your metabolism plays a key role in how your body responds to weight loss efforts, and understanding it can make all the difference. For patients seeking weight loss in The Woodlands, TX, and Greater Houston, we offer precise Metabolic Rate Analysis to measure how many calories your body burns at rest.

With this data, we can:

  • Identify if a slowed metabolism is impacting your weight loss efforts
  • Adjust your daily caloric intake for better alignment with your goals
  • Track changes over time to make sure your plan stays effective

By personalizing your nutrition and fitness strategy based on how your metabolism actually works, we help you move forward with clarity, guidance, and lasting results.

Nutrition Services & Counseling

No weight loss program is complete without expert nutrition support. At The Woodlands Institute for Health & Wellness, our functional nutrition team helps you fuel your body in a way that supports real, lasting results.

We guide you through:

  • Personalized meal planning based on your goals and lab results
  • Nutrient testing and targeted supplementation
  • Eating strategies that work with your body, not against it

We also use advanced nutrition testing to uncover deficiencies that may be slowing progress or draining your energy so that we can address the root of the issue, not just the symptoms.
