Treatment Overview
At Kelowna Hills, we offer medically supervised weight loss focused on sustainable results rather than quick fixes. Our programs are grounded in evidence based care and may include GLP 1 medications such as semaglutide including Ozempic® and Wegovy®, and liraglutide including Saxenda®, when clinically appropriate.
Weight management is complex and individual. Healthy bodies come in many sizes and shapes, and there is no one size fits all solution. That is why our approach is personalized, medically guided, and designed to support long term health.

Everything You Need to Know
How to Prepare
To ensure safety, clarity, and personalization, your journey begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation.
Medical Consultation: Your consultation includes a detailed review of your medical history, social history, and personal health and weight goals. This allows our team to understand your unique needs and expectations.
Blood Work Analysis: Comprehensive blood work is used to assess metabolic health and hormone health, both of which play an important role in weight management.
Candidacy Assessment: Medical weight loss is not a simple yes or no decision. We take a holistic view of your health to determine whether medically assisted weight loss is appropriate and how it should be structured.
What to Expect
Our physician supervised team provides individualized care that evolves over time.
Personalized Treatment Planning: There is no one size fits all approach. Treatment plans are fully personalized based on your health profile, goals, and long term wellbeing.
Medication as a Support Tool: When appropriate, prescription weight loss medications may be included as part of your care. Options may include GLP 1 medications such as semaglutide including Ozempic® and Wegovy®, and liraglutide including Saxenda®. Prescription selection is based on clinical assessment, goals, and budget considerations. Medications are never used in isolation and may be combined with additional strategies to support sustainable progress.
Ongoing Monitoring: Follow up consultations, regular weigh ins, and monitoring allow your care team to make adjustments that support continued progress.
Aftercare
Long term success requires continued care and partnership.
Hormone Optimization: GLP 1 medications can lead to loss of both fat and muscle. Hormone optimization may be used when appropriate to help preserve lean muscle mass and support body composition.
Lifestyle Support: Lifestyle modification is a foundational pillar of lasting weight management. Without supportive lifestyle changes, weight regain is possible. Our team provides compassionate, personalized guidance focused on adequate nutrition including sufficient protein, quality restorative sleep, strength based exercise, and stress management.
Evolving Care Plans: Care plans are individualized and continue to evolve over time as your body and health needs change.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Medical Weight Loss?
Medical weight loss is an evidence based approach to weight management that addresses metabolic health, hormones, and individual physiology rather than relying on willpower alone. Weight regulation is influenced by complex biological factors that extend beyond diet and exercise. These factors can affect appetite, metabolism, and how the body stores or burns energy. Treating weight as a medical condition allows for more effective, sustainable care.
At Kelowna Hills, medical weight loss begins with a comprehensive health assessment. Care is personalized based on lab results, medical history, and goals. Treatment focuses on long term health rather than rapid weight changes. The goal is lasting improvement in metabolic function and overall wellbeing.
Is there a one size fits all solution for weight loss?
No, there is no single solution that works for everyone. Healthy bodies exist in many shapes and sizes, and weight management is highly individualized. Genetics, hormones, metabolism, lifestyle, and medical history all influence weight. These factors vary significantly from person to person.
Medical weight loss programs are designed to reflect this individuality. Care plans are tailored to each patient’s health profile and goals. Treatment evolves as the body responds over time. This personalized approach supports safer and more sustainable outcomes.
Are GLP-1 medications the entire solution?
No, GLP-1 medications are powerful tools but are not a complete solution on their own. Sustainable weight loss requires addressing multiple factors that influence metabolism and health. Medication works best when combined with medical oversight and lifestyle support. Long term success depends on a comprehensive approach.
At Kelowna Hills, GLP-1 therapy is integrated into a broader treatment plan. Hormone optimization and lifestyle modification are key components of care. Ongoing monitoring allows treatment to adapt as needed. This approach supports lasting results rather than short term changes.
How important is lifestyle modification?
Lifestyle modification is essential for long term weight management. Nutrition, sleep, movement, and stress all influence metabolic health. Without supportive lifestyle habits, weight regain is possible even with medical treatment. Sustainable change requires consistent daily practices.
Medical weight loss programs include guidance and education around lifestyle factors. Support helps patients build habits that align with their treatment plan. These changes evolve gradually over time. Lifestyle support reinforces and protects long term results.
Is medical weight loss a failure of willpower?
No, medical weight loss is not a failure of willpower. Weight regulation is influenced by biology, hormones, and metabolism, not motivation alone. Many individuals work hard without seeing results due to underlying medical factors. Treating weight as a chronic condition removes blame and stigma.
Medical weight loss focuses on finding the right tools and support. Care is compassionate and evidence based. Treatment plans are designed to meet patients where they are. The goal is progress, not perfection.
How long does it take to see results?
The timeline for results varies for each individual. Factors such as metabolism, hormone balance, lifestyle, and treatment plan all influence progress. Some patients notice early changes, while others experience more gradual improvements. Sustainable weight loss develops over time.
At Kelowna Hills, the focus is long term success rather than rapid loss. Ongoing monitoring allows treatment to adjust as the body responds. Progress is measured beyond the scale alone. The goal is lasting health and metabolic resilience.
