Medical Weight Management
Evidence-Based Support for Sustainable, Lasting Change.
A Different Kind of Weight Management
Weight management is one of the most personal, complex, and often misunderstood areas of health. At Branch Family Medicine & Wellness, we approach it with compassion, clinical expertise, and a plan that’s built around your body and your life.
Dr. Branch’s philosophy applies here as much as anywhere: meaningful change happens through moderation, not extremes. Our program is designed to help you make steady, sustainable progress — the kind that improves your metabolic health, reduces your risk of chronic disease, and actually holds up over time.
What Our Program Includes
Comprehensive Initial Assessment
A thorough review of your health history, metabolic markers, lifestyle factors, and weight-related health risks.
Individualized Treatment Planning
Your plan is built around your specific needs and goals, with milestones and methods determined in partnership with you.
Nutrition Counseling
Practical guidance on eating patterns that support your goals, delivered in a way that fits your life.
Lifestyle Coaching
Sustainable strategies for activity, sleep, stress management, and behavior change that address the root causes of weight challenges.
Medication Management
When clinically appropriate, Dr. Branch may prescribe evidence-based weight management medications, including GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy (such as semaglutide and tirzepatide), as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Ongoing Monitoring & Adjustments
Regular follow-up to track your progress, troubleshoot challenges, and adjust your plan as your body responds.
Body Composition Scan
Body composition scans will be available, offered at an additional cost for patients without a membership.
Team Accountability
We believe accountability works best as a team effort. Dr. Branch and her team stay engaged with you between visits to help keep your progress on track.
Sleep Apnea Screening
Since sleep and weight are closely connected, we offer sleep apnea screening as part of your care, with referrals for further evaluation and treatment when needed.
Is Medical Weight Management Right for You?
Our program is a strong fit for patients who:
- Have struggled with weight despite diet and exercise efforts
- Are living with weight-related conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or high cholesterol
- Are interested in GLP-1 therapy and want medical supervision
- Want a clinical approach backed by a knowledgeable provider, not just a diet plan
Our Philosophy on Weight & Health
Weight is a complex health variable influenced by genetics, hormones, behavior, environment, and more. Dr. Branch has always believed that sustainable change comes from working with your body, understanding it, and making choices you can actually keep — not from following a rigid protocol until you burn out.
At Branch Family Medicine & Wellness, you will never feel judged for where you are. You’ll be supported in making the next right choice, at a pace that’s realistic for your life. That’s the only kind of progress that lasts.
