Medical Weight Loss
Sustainable Weight Loss, Medically Supervised
No fad diets. No shame. Just a personalized, science-backed plan built around your metabolism, your hormones, and your life — delivered by a Board Certified Nurse Practitioner who knows your name.
The MACA Approach
Why Medical Weight Loss Works
Sustainable weight loss is rarely about willpower alone. Hormones, sleep, stress, gut health, and metabolic adaptation all shape how your body responds to food and exercise. MACA's medical weight loss program treats the root causes that traditional diets ignore — and gives you a clinician in your corner to adjust the plan as your body changes.
How It Works
How the Program Works
Four phases. One consistent partner. Real, lasting results.
02
Personalized Plan
Based on your labs and goals, you'll receive a tailored plan that may include GLP-1 receptor agonists, lipotropic injections, targeted nutrition guidance, and behavioral coaching.
03
Medical Supervision
Regular follow-ups — in-home, in-office, or virtual — to monitor progress, adjust dosing, manage side effects, and keep you motivated through plateaus.
04
Sustainable Maintenance
Once you reach your goal, we shift into a maintenance protocol designed to protect your results for life — not for a season.
Benefits
Benefits Beyond the Scale
Improved Energy
Patients consistently report more stable energy throughout the day as metabolic health improves.
Better Blood Sugar
Reduced insulin resistance and improved HbA1c are common outcomes of medically supervised loss.
Hormonal Balance
Weight loss often restores regular cycles, improves testosterone in men, and reduces PCOS symptoms.
Joint Relief
Every pound lost removes roughly four pounds of pressure from your knees — movement gets easier fast.
Cardiovascular Health
Lower blood pressure, improved lipid panels, and reduced inflammation protect your heart long-term.
Confidence & Mood
Better body composition correlates with improved self-image, mood stability, and reduced anxiety.
Who It's For
Who Is This Program For?
MACA's medical weight loss program is designed for adults in South Florida who have tried traditional diets without lasting success, who have 15 or more pounds to lose, or who have a metabolic condition like insulin resistance, prediabetes, PCOS, or hypothyroidism. It is also a strong fit for postpartum mothers, peri-menopausal and menopausal women, and men experiencing age-related weight gain. Whether you are looking to lose a few stubborn pounds or undertake a major transformation, the program scales to meet you where you are. A brief consultation will confirm whether medical weight loss is a safe and appropriate option for your individual health profile.
Education
GLP-1 Therapy: A Tool, Not a Shortcut
GLP-1s are a powerful tool — not a magic wand. They help control appetite and improve metabolic health, but real, lasting results come from what you do with that window: protein intake, strength training, and sleep. We prescribe smart and coach hard, so the results stick after the medication doesn't have to.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are genuinely effective — but they're not a substitute for effort. What they do is quiet the noise around food so you can actually follow through on the habits that create lasting change: adequate protein, resistance training to protect lean muscle, and consistent sleep.
Patients who treat GLP-1 therapy as a "set it and forget it" shot often lose muscle along with fat, and regain weight once they stop. Patients who use it as a tool — paired with real lifestyle work — build a body composition and metabolic foundation that outlasts the prescription.
At MACA, GLP-1 therapy comes with monitoring, nutrition guidance, and accountability — not just a script.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. When clinically appropriate and after a full review of your labs and medical history, Marcela may prescribe FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonists — including compounded semaglutide — as part of a comprehensive plan that also includes nutrition, movement, and behavioral support.
No. It's a tool that reduces appetite and improves metabolic markers — it doesn't lift weights, eat protein, or sleep for you. Patients who pair it with strength training and real nutrition changes see the best, most durable results. Patients who don't tend to lose muscle, not just fat, and regain weight when they stop. We'll help you do it right.
Most patients lose 1–2 pounds per week on average, though early losses can be higher due to water weight. The goal of the MACA program is sustainable loss you can maintain for life — not rapid loss that rebounds. We adjust your plan based on real data, not a generic timeline.
All medications prescribed are FDA-approved or come from regulated compounding pharmacies. Side effects, when they occur, are typically mild and manageable — and you have direct access to your clinician to adjust dosing at any time. Your safety is the priority of every visit.
No. We offer in-home visits across Boca Raton, Palm Beach, and Broward County, in-office visits at our Boca Raton location, and virtual follow-ups for patients anywhere in Florida. Most weight loss care can be delivered virtually after the initial in-person consultation.
Cost varies based on the medications prescribed and the length of your program. After your initial consultation, you'll receive a transparent, all-in pricing plan with no surprise fees. Many patients find MACA's concierge-style program is comparable in cost to commercial clinics — with far more personal attention.
Plateaus are normal and expected. When weight loss stalls, we re-check labs, review your food and movement logs, and adjust dosing or nutrition — typically breaking the plateau within 2–3 weeks. You are never alone in this process.
