What Clients Are Saying
dennis henderson2024-05-11Lost 46 lbs with the combo Ozempic and TRT therapy protocols. Started slow and ramped up. Feeling awesome now and back to my beach body look. Good people here.
K Andersen2024-04-26Doing me labs and TRT here. Simple to get labs. 2 clicks. Easy to speak with the docs. Couple clicks. Never had any issues with getting my medications on time. Feeling better. Loosing inches off my belly and building some muscles back from when I was younger. The best part is my sleep is better. Mood is much higher and people seem to notice I have more energy and a positive attitude.
Michael Feldman2024-04-21In just three months, I've managed to lose a jaw-dropping 56 pounds thanks to the team Leadwest Medical! Yes, you read that correctly—56 pounds! I'm still in disbelief at the rapid and significant progress I've made on this journey. Semaglutide has truly been a game-changer for me. One of the most remarkable aspects of semaglutide is its ability to reduce appetite and cravings. I found myself feeling satisfied with smaller portions and making healthier food choices without feeling deprived. It's like my relationship with food has completely shifted for the better. We tried to get the WeGovy approved but insurance was a struggle and finally we opted for a generic form that was half the price of the brand WeGovy. It's a pro vs cons. I wanted to start losing weight that week and jumped when the doc suggested it. Not only have I seen a dramatic change in my appearance, but I've also experienced a noticeable improvement in how people treat me too. I no longer struggle with the physical limitations that excess weight imposed on me.
Kris Dew2024-04-17Really happy I found this clinic. I had been seeking treatment for TRT testosterone and peptides online and I was not getting any personalized attention. It was a headache for me to get anyone on the phone, or get labs when I was concerned. These guys CARE and know the in's and outs of TRT. I switched over care a few months ago. Got all my labs re-done, found a few issues and they immediately addressed the protocol I was on. I started to fee better almost within the first couple days of my dosages and medications being modified. Not to mention I was less stressed and able to focus on getting better. Very data based and lab orientated with great knowledgeable doc. Thx LW team.
Aubrey Thompson2024-04-14Thanks to the expertise of Dr. Aurora and the team at Leadwest Medical, my journey with Testosterone Replacement Therapy has been life-changing. Before starting TRT, I struggled with low energy levels and constant fatigue, which made even simple daily tasks feel like a chore. However, after undergoing treatment under Dr. Aurora's care, I've experienced a remarkable boost in my energy levels. Now, I feel more invigorated and capable of tackling my day with enthusiasm. One of the most noticeable improvements has been in my muscle mass and strength. Moreover, I've seen a significant reduction in body fat, especially around my abdomen. This not only enhances my physical appearance but also contributes to my overall health and well-being.
Thad Wendt2024-04-13Wanted to express my appreciation for Dr. Aurora and the team at LWMD. He really breaks down the knowledge of health and wellness into bite size chips. I’ve started TRT testosterone therapy 2 months ago and can not be happier. More strength, better sleep and lost 2 inches off my stomach. Best in class. Thanks all.

Weight Loss FAQs
Semaglutide is a prescription medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. It is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which means it mimics the action of the naturally occurring hormone GLP-1 in the body. Tirzepatide mimics the GIP pathway in addition to the GLP-1 pathway.
These medications help regulate blood sugar levels. They also slow down the rate at which food moves through the stomach, which can reduce appetite and promote weight loss.
They are typically administered as a once-weekly injection. The appropriate dose will depend on the patient’s individual needs.
They are not a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise, and should be used in conjunction with these lifestyle changes to achieve optimal results. As with any medication, it is important to talk to your healthcare provider about the potential benefits and risks of these medications and whether they are the right choice for you.
These medications are used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Type 2 diabetes: They are used as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. They may be used alone or in combination with other diabetes medications.
Obesity: They are used as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity to help promote weight loss in adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or in adults with a BMI of 27 or higher who have at least one weight-related comorbidity, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.
Semaglutide is not recommended for use in patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. It is also not recommended for use in patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, as semaglutide may increase the risk of these conditions.
As with any medication, they should only be prescribed by a healthcare provider who has evaluated the patient’s medical history, current health status, and individual needs and goals. Patients should follow their healthcare provider’s instructions for use and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress and assess the need for continued treatment.
These medications can cause side effects in some patients. Some of the commonly reported side effects include:
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Constipation
- Abdominal pain
- Loss of appetite
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
These side effects are usually mild to moderate in intensity and tend to improve over time as the body adjusts to the medication. However, if these side effects persist or become severe, patients should contact their healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.
In rare cases, they can cause more serious side effects such as:
- Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas)
- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
- Kidney problems
- Gallbladder problems
- Allergic reactions
Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, persistent nausea or vomiting, rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Up to 20% with Semaglutide and up to 27% with Tirzepatid
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are currently approved by the FDA for long-term use in the treatment of obesity.
Patients who stop the medication gain back on average two thirds of the weight they had lost. It is recommended that patients remain on a maintenance dose to curb cravings and maintain the new weight.
If your prior authorization is declined, your insurance will not cover the cost of the prescribed medication. In this instance, you have the option to self-fund your medication via our partnered pharmacies.
If you wish to share lab results, images, or any other relevant documents with your physician, you need to log into your Charm Tracker portal. Once there, select ‘Documents’ from the options and upload your documents.
