Physician-Prescribed Weight Loss Medications
All care takes place in person at our MKT Heights and Vintage Park clinics in Houston. Every program starts with an in-clinic evaluation by a Texas-licensed provider, who decides whether a prescription is appropriate for you, followed by regular in-clinic follow-up visits.
Tirzepatide
Once-weekly injection, by prescription only
Tirzepatide acts on two hormone receptors (GIP and GLP-1) involved in appetite and blood sugar. It is used alongside changes in diet and activity. Your provider decides whether it is appropriate for you and monitors you at each visit. Individual results vary.

When prescribed, medications are prepared for you as an individual patient by a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy (Empower Pharmacy or Olympia Pharmacy), not by Huemn.
Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy (Empower Pharmacy or Olympia Pharmacy), not by Huemn. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not verify their safety, effectiveness or quality. Semaglutide and tirzepatide carry a boxed warning about a possible risk of thyroid C-cell tumors; do not use them if you or a family member has had medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Other possible side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, pancreatitis, and gallbladder problems. Available by prescription only, after an in-person evaluation by a Texas-licensed provider.

Medical Weight Loss at Huemn
A Physician-Overseen Program Built Around Your Evaluation
Medical weight loss at Huemn starts with an evaluation by a Texas-licensed provider, who reviews your health history, current medications, and, where indicated, lab work. If your provider decides a prescription is appropriate, your program may include a GLP-1 medication (semaglutide) or a dual GIP/GLP-1 medication (tirzepatide), along with nutrition guidance and body-composition tracking. Not every patient is a candidate.
How These Medications Work
GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists act on hormones involved in appetite, blood sugar, and digestion. They are meant to be used alongside changes in diet and physical activity, not in place of them. Your provider starts at a low dose, increases it gradually if appropriate, and monitors you for side effects at every follow-up visit.
Published clinical trials studied FDA-approved versions of these medications, not compounded versions. Results in those trials do not predict your results, and individual responses vary.

Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy (Empower Pharmacy or Olympia Pharmacy), not by Huemn. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not verify their safety, effectiveness or quality. Like any prescription medication, they have risks and side effects, and they are not right for everyone. Your provider will explain the risks and alternatives before you start, and will decide whether a medication is appropriate for you.
Is Medical Weight Loss Right for You?
Signs You May Benefit
You don't need a specific diagnosis to qualify. Most of our patients are otherwise healthy people who have tried the conventional advice and want a medically supervised, evidence-based path forward.
- BMI of 27+ with a weight-related condition, or BMI 30+
- We accept patients for inflammation treatment upon physician review, even if they have a lower BMI.
- Conventional diet + exercise haven't produced durable results
- Type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, PCOS, or metabolic syndrome
- Sleep apnea, joint pain, or fertility issues tied to weight
- Family history of cardiovascular disease or diabetes
- You want a supervised, lab-monitored approach — not a script-only service
- You want to preserve muscle while losing fat (body-composition focus)
- You want a Houston-based medical director, not an anonymous portal
Not Appropriate For Everyone
A medical consultation is required before starting any program. Discuss your full health history with our physician if you:
- Are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding
- Have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC)
- Have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)
- Have a history of pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, or severe GI disorder
- Have an eating disorder (active or recent)
- Are on insulin or sulfonylureas without prior medical adjustment
Start Low. Adjust Gradually. Review Every Visit.
If a medication is prescribed, your provider starts you at a low dose and increases it gradually only if it is appropriate for you. Your dose is set by your provider, not by a standard formula.
At each in-clinic visit, your provider reviews how you are feeling, any side effects, your InBody scan, and lab work when ordered, and then decides whether to continue, adjust, or stop treatment. Individual results vary.
Starting Dose
Treatment begins at a low dose. Your provider explains how to take it, what to expect, and which side effects to report.
Dose Changes
Your provider decides whether to increase, hold, or lower your dose based on how you respond and how you tolerate the medication.
Side Effects
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. Tell your provider about any side effect, and seek care right away for severe stomach pain.
Body Composition
InBody scans track changes in weight, body fat, and lean mass over time, so your provider can review your progress with you.
Lab Work
Your provider may order labs before you start and during treatment, such as a metabolic panel, thyroid tests, and a lipid panel.
Physician Oversight
Every plan is prescribed and monitored by our medical team under physician oversight. Weight may return if medication is stopped.
Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy (Empower Pharmacy or Olympia Pharmacy), not by Huemn. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not verify their safety, effectiveness or quality.
Medical Weight Loss in Houston: The Huemn Approach
Physician-Overseen Weight Management in Houston, TX
At Huemn, weight management starts with a conversation with a Texas-licensed provider, not a checkout page. Your provider reviews your health history, listens to your goals, and decides with you whether a prescription medication, lifestyle changes, or another approach is appropriate. Here is what to expect.
Consultation & Assessment
Your first visit includes a review of your health history, current medications, and weight history. Your provider may order lab work, such as a metabolic panel, thyroid tests, and a lipid panel, to check that treatment is appropriate for you. By the end of the visit, you will know whether a prescription is appropriate and what your options are.
Licensed Pharmacy Dispensing
If a medication is prescribed, it is prepared for you as an individual patient. Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy (Empower Pharmacy or Olympia Pharmacy), not by Huemn. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not verify their safety, effectiveness or quality. Your provider will explain this before you start.
Your Treatment Plan
If treatment is appropriate, your provider sets your medication, starting dose, and how to take it, along with nutrition and activity goals. You will get clear instructions, a list of possible side effects, and the full cost of your plan before you begin.
Follow-Up Visits & Adjustments
Your care team is available for questions and side-effect concerns between visits. At follow-ups, your provider reviews your body-composition scans, any lab work, and how you are feeling, and decides whether to continue, adjust, or stop treatment. Results vary, and weight may return if medication is stopped.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Weight Loss in Houston
What to know before your first consultation
If your provider decides a prescription is appropriate, options may include compounded semaglutide (a GLP-1 receptor agonist) or compounded tirzepatide (a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist). When prescribed, these are prepared for you as an individual patient by a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy (Empower Pharmacy or Olympia Pharmacy), not by Huemn. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.
No. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not verify their safety, effectiveness or quality. Your provider will explain what this means, along with the risks and alternatives, including FDA-approved medications, before you start.
Semaglutide acts on one hormone receptor (GLP-1). Tirzepatide acts on two (GIP and GLP-1). Both are once-weekly injections. Your provider will discuss which option, if any, is appropriate based on your health history, lab work, and goals.
Prescription weight-management medications are generally considered for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related condition, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Your provider makes the final decision after an evaluation. Meeting these criteria does not guarantee a prescription.
Results vary from person to person, and some patients lose less weight than they hoped. Published clinical trials studied FDA-approved versions of these medications, not compounded versions, so those results do not predict yours. Your provider will talk with you about realistic expectations and track your progress at each visit.
There is no set length. Your provider starts you at a low dose, adjusts it gradually if appropriate, and reviews your plan at every follow-up visit. Some patients continue treatment long term; others stop. Weight may return if medication is stopped.
The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach pain. Less common but serious risks include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, low blood sugar (especially with other diabetes medicines), kidney problems, and allergic reactions. Semaglutide and tirzepatide carry a boxed warning about a possible risk of thyroid C-cell tumors. Tell your provider about any side effect, and seek care right away for severe stomach pain.
Many HSA and FSA plans cover medical weight management, but coverage depends on your plan, so please check with your plan administrator first. We are a cash-pay practice and do not bill insurance directly, but we can provide documentation for your reimbursement claim.
Yes. All Huemn services are provided in person at our two Houston clinics, MKT Heights and Vintage Park. Your evaluation, InBody body-composition scans, and monthly follow-up visits all take place in the clinic. We do not offer telehealth.
Your provider will review whether to continue, lower, or stop your medication, and will help you plan for maintenance with nutrition and activity goals. Weight may return after stopping medication, which is why follow-up visits continue to matter.
