Medi-Weightloss is the nation's largest physician-supervised weight management program — a structured, evidence-based approach that has helped over 460,000 patients lose more than 10 million pounds across 130+ clinics nationwide. Our research has been published in Oxford's Journal of Public Health, and our clinical protocols continue to evolve with the latest advances in medical weight loss, including GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide.
At our Elk Grove Village and Algonquin clinics, our team delivers this nationally recognized program with the personalized attention that only a local practice can provide. Every patient receives an individualized treatment plan built around their health profile, goals, and lifestyle — not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
The Medi-Weightloss program is built around three distinct phases, each designed to move you toward your goal weight and then keep you there. Your providers guide you through each phase with regular visits, ongoing adjustments, and the clinical support needed to make your results last.
This is where the transformation begins. During the acute phase, you'll work with our team to lose weight safely and effectively through a combination of medically supervised care, personalized nutrition, and — when clinically appropriate — GLP-1 medications or other prescription treatments. You'll visit the clinic weekly so your providers can monitor your health, track your body composition, and adjust your plan as needed.
Once you reach your goal weight, the focus shifts from losing to maintaining. During short-term maintenance, your providers gradually rebalance your nutrition plan — carefully increasing calories while preserving your results. This phase is critical: it's where your body adapts to its new weight and where the habits that keep the weight off start to solidify. You'll continue regular visits with your team during this transition.
The wellness phase is what separates Medi-Weightloss from every other weight loss program. After reaching and stabilizing your goal weight, you'll undergo advanced metabolic testing and transition to a sustainable nutrition and exercise plan designed for the rest of your life. Monthly visits with your team ensure you stay on track, and specially formulated supplements support your ongoing health. This is the phase that makes the weight loss permanent.
Most weight loss approaches focus on one thing — the scale. Telehealth providers prescribe a GLP-1 medication and check in via text. Diet apps track your calories but don't know your health history. Fad programs produce short-term results that reverse within months. The Medi-Weightloss program is different because it addresses all of it: the medical treatment, the nutritional strategy, the body composition monitoring, and the long-term maintenance plan — all under the supervision of providers who see you in person, every week.
The result is weight loss that you can actually maintain — backed by published research, delivered by a medical team that knows your name, and supported by a structure that doesn't disappear when the prescription runs out.
