The Venture Medical Weight Loss program combines advice on diet, exercise, rest, overall healthy lifestyles and tried weight loss supplements that include appetite suppressants. Our physician-supervised and clinical approach helps our patients achieve and maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle. Our licensed healthcare professionals focus on helping our patients achieve an overall healthy lifestyle through preventative maintenance. After consultation with each patient, a detailed medical and lifestyle history, and a directed physical exam, our medical staff creates a tailored and comprehensive plan for each patient.
We do not believe in dramatic overnight results or drastic changes, but in a step-wise approach to sustainable weight loss. To help maintain your diet of limited caloric intake, we prescribe and dispense appetite suppressant medications such as those discussed in this program.

Methods: Venture Medical Weight Loss will begin offering a program for Hormonal Wellness to our male and female patients, prescribing Depo-Testosterone Cypionate Intramuscular injections at regular intervals along with appropriate monitoring of blood hormonal levels as well as other pertinent parameters. The injections could be administered in the clinic or be self-administered by patients after appropriate education.

What is Hormonal Wellness?

Purpose: To offer Testosterone replacement/supplement to male and female patients.

Rationale: Testosterone is a hormone that is vitally important to the proper function of the human body.

Low testosterone can cause one or more of the following symptoms in men as well as women: sluggishness, muscle weakness, fatigue, sleep disturbances, reduced sex drive, decreased sexual satisfaction, weight gain, fertility issues, irregular menstrual cycles, vaginal dryness, loss of bone density.
