General
Meta-Health offers three evidence-based weight loss programs: Semaglutide (GLP-1 receptor agonist), HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) diet program, and AOD-9604 peptide therapy. Each program is medically supervised and tailored to individual needs.
During your initial consultation, our medical team will evaluate your medical history, current health status, weight loss goals, and lifestyle. We'll recommend the most appropriate program based on this comprehensive assessment.
Yes! We provide telemedicine consultations nationwide, making our programs accessible wherever you are. You can schedule virtual appointments for initial consultations, follow-ups, and ongoing support.
Weight loss varies by individual and program. Semaglutide patients typically lose 15-20% of body weight, HCG patients often lose 20-30 pounds in 40 days, and AOD-9604 patients see targeted fat reduction. Results depend on adherence and individual factors.
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is an FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics natural hormones to reduce appetite, slow digestion, and help you feel fuller longer. This leads to reduced caloric intake and sustained weight loss.
Semaglutide is administered via a once-weekly self-injection using a small, pre-filled pen. The injection is subcutaneous (under the skin) and can be done at home. Our team provides comprehensive training.
Common side effects include mild nausea, diarrhea, and constipation, which typically subside as your body adjusts. We start with a low dose and gradually increase it to minimize side effects.
Yes, Semaglutide has been approved by the FDA for chronic weight management. Clinical studies have demonstrated its safety profile for extended use with ongoing medical supervision.
Yes, Semaglutide is also used to treat type 2 diabetes. We'll work with you to determine the appropriate treatment plan based on your specific medical needs.
HCG Program
The HCG program combines daily HCG hormone injections or drops with a carefully structured low-calorie diet. The protocol typically lasts 23-40 days and is designed to target abnormal fat stores while preserving muscle mass.
HCG helps mobilize stored fat for energy, reduces hunger, and protects muscle tissue during calorie restriction. It also helps reset the hypothalamus for long-term weight management.
The HCG diet includes specific proteins (lean meats, fish), vegetables, limited fruits, and allows for strategic 'apple days' and other modifications under medical supervision.
When properly supervised by medical professionals, the HCG program is safe and effective. Our team monitors your progress closely and adjusts the protocol as needed.
The standard HCG program runs 23-40 days, with the first 20 days being critical for hypothalamus reprogramming. Some patients may do multiple rounds if needed.
AOD-9604
AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of human growth hormone specifically designed to stimulate fat metabolism and reduce body fat accumulation without affecting blood sugar or tissue growth.
AOD-9604 is administered through subcutaneous injections, typically daily. Our medical team will provide detailed instructions and training.
AOD-9604 is particularly effective at targeting stubborn fat areas such as the abdomen, hips, and thighs, while promoting overall fat reduction throughout the body.
AOD-9604 is generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience mild injection site reactions, but serious side effects are rare.
In some cases, AOD-9604 can be combined with other treatments under medical supervision. We'll evaluate whether combination therapy is appropriate for you.
