About Weight Loss Knox
Dedicated to helping Knoxville residents achieve lasting, medically-supervised weight loss through evidence-based treatments.
Our Mission
At Weight Loss Knox, our mission is to provide Knoxville and the surrounding East Tennessee community with physician-supervised weight loss programs that are safe, effective, and sustainable. We believe that every patient deserves a treatment plan rooted in medical science rather than fad diets or one-size-fits-all solutions.
Obesity is a complex, chronic medical condition that requires expert care. Our board-certified physicians specialize in metabolic health and use the latest FDA-approved medications, including tirzepatide and semaglutide, to help our patients achieve meaningful, lasting results.
Our Core Values
- Evidence-Based Medicine — Every recommendation is backed by clinical research and guidelines.
- Patient-Centered Care — Your goals, health history, and lifestyle guide our treatment plans.
- Transparency — Clear communication about costs, expectations, and realistic outcomes.
- Long-Term Results — We build sustainable habits, not quick fixes.
Our Physician-Supervised Approach
Medical weight loss is not about willpower. It is about treating the biological factors that make weight loss difficult.
Comprehensive Medical Evaluation
Your journey begins with a thorough medical assessment, including a review of your health history, current medications, lab work, and body composition analysis. This allows our physicians to understand the metabolic, hormonal, and lifestyle factors contributing to your weight, ensuring we choose the most effective treatment path.
FDA-Approved Medication Therapy
Based on your evaluation, our physicians may prescribe tirzepatide or semaglutide, two of the most effective weight loss medications available today. These GLP-1 receptor agonists work by regulating appetite, improving insulin sensitivity, and supporting metabolic function. All medications are prescribed and monitored directly by our medical team.
Nutrition and Lifestyle Guidance
Medication alone is not enough for lasting change. Our team provides personalized nutrition counseling, activity recommendations, and behavioral strategies to help you develop the habits that support long-term weight maintenance. We focus on practical, achievable changes rather than restrictive diets.
Ongoing Monitoring and Support
Regular follow-up appointments are a critical part of our program. Your physician monitors your progress, adjusts medication dosages as needed, reviews lab results, and provides support to keep you on track. We measure success not just by the number on the scale, but by improvements in overall health markers, energy, and quality of life.
Why Medical Weight Loss?
The Science of Obesity
Research has shown that obesity involves complex hormonal and metabolic pathways. Hormones like GLP-1 and GIP play key roles in appetite regulation, glucose metabolism, and fat storage. Medications like tirzepatide and semaglutide work with these pathways rather than against them, making weight loss more achievable and sustainable.
Beyond Dieting
Studies consistently show that diet and exercise alone lead to long-term weight regain for the majority of people. This is not a failure of willpower but rather the result of metabolic adaptation. Medical weight loss addresses these biological barriers, giving patients the physiological support they need to lose weight and keep it off.
Health Benefits Beyond the Scale
Medical weight loss is associated with improvements in blood pressure, blood sugar control, cholesterol levels, sleep quality, joint pain, and overall cardiovascular risk. Many of our patients report transformative improvements in energy and daily function well before reaching their goal weight.
Safety and Accountability
With physician supervision, your weight loss is monitored for safety at every stage. Lab work, vitals, and symptoms are tracked regularly. If side effects occur, your physician can adjust your treatment plan promptly, ensuring you lose weight in a way that supports rather than compromises your health.
