The Truth About Medical Weight Loss That Most Clinics Hide

The Truth About Medical Weight Loss That Most Clinics Hide

If you've ever felt let down by trendy weight loss programs or quick fixes, you're not alone. The truth is, most medical weight loss clinics focus only on prescribing popular medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide—and stop there. 

However, at Ada Aesthetics Medispa, we believe that achieving real, lasting weight loss requires more than just a prescription. It takes a personalized plan, science-backed tools, and ongoing support that’s just right for you.

Read on to learn the truth about medical weight loss, what most clinics hide, and what we can do to help you reach your goals.

What exactly is medical weight loss?

According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, a good weight loss program should include at least four key elements:

  1. Guidance for healthy eating with appropriate calorie goals
  2. A safe and effective exercise plan
  3. Support for healthy lifestyle habits
  4. A strategy to help you keep the weight off long-term

Medical weight loss programs check all of these boxes—and take it a step further by addressing underlying metabolic or hormonal issues with clinically proven medications, personalized care, and professional support to help you reach and sustain your goals.

4 truths that most clinics don’t focus on

Not all weight loss clinics are created equally. Many of them miss the mark and hide the fact that:

Medications are just part of the plan

Weight loss isn’t just about curbing appetite. It’s about understanding your metabolism, hormone health, muscle mass, lifestyle habits, and even your emotional well-being

At Ada Aesthetics, our providers take time to understand your body and your goals. Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation here in Ada, Oklahoma, so that we can create a custom plan tailored to your life, not just a generic protocol.

Peptides can supercharge your results — and you have lots to choose from

What many clinics don’t tell you? Many powerful, FDA-regulated peptides can supercharge your results. 

In addition to popular weight loss medications like semaglutide (which is a peptide), we offer other peptide options like sermorelin and glycine to support fat metabolism, muscle tone, and energy levels. 

These peptides help enhance results while promoting a healthier, stronger body—not just a smaller number on the scale.

Your body composition matters too

We go beyond the scale. With additional services like CoolSculpting for targeted fat reduction and Kybella for submental fullness (that stubborn under-chin fat), we help you refine your shape while supporting your health goals. 

Our integrative approach helps you feel stronger, look leaner, and live better.

Support isn’t optional when it comes to weight loss success

The biggest thing most weight loss clinics don’t tell you? Support matters. 

Research indicates that individuals with higher perceived social support are better equipped to regulate their eating behaviors, reporting less overeating and greater dietary restraint, particularly at the 3- and 6-month marks of their weight loss journey.

At Ada Aesthetics, our team, which includes physician assistants and nurse practitioners, supports you with ongoing education, regular check-ins, and expert guidance. We’re with you every step of the way — whether you choose peptide therapy, hormone replacement therapy, body sculpting, or all three! —  to help you stay motivated, make confident decisions, and track tangible progress.

Note: Not all medical weight loss clinics overlook these essential components, but many do miss the mark when it comes to personalization, ongoing support, and addressing the root causes of weight gain, such as hormone imbalances or metabolic dysfunction. That's where the difference really shows.
