The Metabolic System Reset
Weight management is a complex physiological recalibration, not a battle of willpower. Our physician-led program moves beyond the "noise" of commercial dieting to provide a scientifically grounded, medical-grade strategy. By combining advanced, FDA-approved medications with meticulously curated nutrition and movement protocols, we address the root biological drivers of weight retention to restore your body’s natural equilibrium.



Sovereign Monitoring
Integrity is found in the follow-through. Your journey is not a "vending machine" prescription; it is a dynamic process carefully monitored by Dr. Franco and his dedicated clinical staff. Through regular intervals of assessment and biometric tracking, we ensure your progress is as safe as it is consistent, pivoting your plan in real-time to match your body’s unique "vibration."

The Pharmacological Edge
What makes this program more effective than dieting alone is the surgical precision of our medical aid. When indicated, we utilize 
a spectrum of FDA-approved medications—including Phentermine and Tenuate®—to assist with appetite suppression and metabolic efficiency. This combination helps to control portion size while naturally increasing your metabolism, making the process of losing weight and keeping it off more sustainable.

 

The Architecture of Results
•  The Blueprint:  Every program begins with a private consultation where Dr. Franco assesses your medical history and blood pressure to ensure the program is safe for your unique physiology.

•  The Follow-Up We schedule follow-up visits every two weeks. This isn't just a check-in; it’s a forensic review of your blood pressure and progress to ensure you are losing weight safely.

•  The Lifestyle Syllabus:  We provide curated dieting materials to act as your suggested eating plan, ensuring the medication is supported by the right "fuel."



The Investment in Health
•  Initital Consultation:  $171.60

•  Bi-Weekly Progress Visits $88.40

A Cutting-Edge Approach to Metabolic Support
Dr. Franco believes in staying at the absolute forefront of modern medical advancements, treating the body as an interconnected whole rather than merely suppressing isolated symptoms. In line with this commitment to precision medicine, our office integrates advanced, FDA-approved GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists into our physician-led metabolic programs. Naturally occurring GIP and GLP-1 are vital gut hormones (incretins) released by your body after eating to effectively manage blood sugar levels and regulate digestion.

Additionally, for patients requiring targeted glycemic clearance or cellular-level metabolic tracking, Dr. Franco integrates advanced oral companion therapies, including Farxiga®, to stabilize foundational energy balance.
 

While public platforms often treat these cutting-edge therapies interchangeably, they operate through distinct, specialized biochemical pathways. Our program utilizes two primary classes of medication to match your body's unique physiology:


 


Zepbound® (Tirzepatide)
This dual-agonist approach mimics two native metabolic hormones (GIP and GLP-1) 
to regulate appetite signals while directly optimizing how your body processes and 
stores energy. (Calibrated up to a maximum titrated therapeutic ceiling of 15 mg).

 



Mounjaro® (Tirzepatide)
Operating as a high-precision dual-agonist framework, this specialized therapy targets 
interconnected endocrine pathways to optimize glycemic health and stabilize baseline 
blood sugar systems. While primarily FDA-approved for blood sugar control, Dr. Franco 
utilizes this advanced therapy when clinically indicated to resolve the core metabolic 
resistance that can frequently disrupt long-term health stabilization. (Structured up to 
a maximum titrated clinical ceiling of 15 mg).



Wegovy® (Semaglutide)
Operating as a targeted GLP-1 receptor agonist, this medication specifically slows gastric 
emptying and modulates central hunger pathways to establish a steady, reliable metabolic 
baseline. (Calibrated up to a maximum titrated therapeutic ceiling of 2.4 mg).


Ozempic® (Semaglutide)
Engineered as a targeted GLP-1 receptor agonist, this specialized deployment provides 

precise glycemic modulation to stabilize metabolic baselines and optimize foundational 

blood sugar balance. Dr. Franco utilizes this premier framework when diagnostic testing 

indicates an essential clinical need for deep insulin and glucose stabilization. 

(Meticulously calibrated up to an absolute therapeutic ceiling of 2.0 mg)



The Calibrated Tier Strategy
To ensure absolute clarity, our office completely rejects the flat, commercialized pricing packages common in the mass-market wellness industry. Dr. Franco utilizes a meticulously customized tiered method designed for your specific biological needs. Every patient begins at an entry-level, baseline dosage. As your physiology adapts and stabilizes over time, Dr. Franco dynamically accelerates and steps up your specific therapeutic tier to maintain consistent clinical progress.

Rather than paying an arbitrary, inflated flat rate for a mass-market package, you only pay for the exact, calibrated milligram dosage your individual timeline requires:

• Zepbound® (Tirzepatide): Priced at $33.33 per milligram, plus a $35.00 sterile clinical administration and injection fee per visit.

• Mounjaro® (Tirzepatide): Priced as a flat $500.00 upfront therapeutic block for the full 15 mg titrated ceiling. Due to specialized clinical logistics, these configurations are custom-ordered in advance upon formal program entry, plus a $35.00 sterile clinical administration and injection fee per visit.
 

• Wegovy® (Semaglutide): Baseline configuration calculated at $312.20 per milligram. Specific operational pricing updates for advanced titrated Wegovy®  tiers are verified in real-time during your consultation to maintain absolute transparency.

• Ozempic® (Semaglutide): Configured fundamentally as a bespoke medical provision. Specific operational pricing configurations and customized titration milestones are available strictly upon direct clinical request during your initial evaluation.



The Accountability Framework
To preserve the clinical integrity of this program, Dr. Franco utilizes an entirely in-office administration model to monitor patient safety and verify titration accuracy. Patient safety relies on structured, physician-led delivery, and medications are not cleared for self-administration. Outside of pre-approved medical emergencies or strict travel disruptions, take-home configurations are entirely restricted to maintain absolute clinical compliance.

Comprehensive session investments, including your specialized clinical evaluation and prescribed therapeutic provisions, are finalized at the conclusion of your weekly appointment.
