If you're struggling to lose weight, Semaglutide and Tirzepatide may be the solution you're looking for.
At GLOSS Rx we use these two medications that have been proven to aid in weight management by mimicking the effects of a hormone called GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite and food intake. In clinical studies, both Semaglutide and Terzepatide have demonstrated significant weight loss results when used alongside a healthy diet and exercise program. Don't let excess weight hold you back any longer.

Medical Weight Management
At GLOSS Rx, we understand that weight management is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Each person's journey is unique, and we treat our patients based on their individual needs. Dr. Dunn offers a highly effective and reputable prescription weight loss program that incorporates inbody technology and wellness supplements. During your consultation with Dr. Dunn, she will assess your suitability for our program, provide a detailed overview of our approach, and answer any questions you may have. Thanks to the recent breakthroughs in weight loss medication and Dr. Dunn's experience of over 10 years in helping patients with weight loss in her primary care practice, we can customize a program specifically designed for your needs. Our goal is to help you achieve your weight loss goals safely and effectively while improving your overall health and well-being.
What does a consultation look like:
Come in and we will get some background medical history and put you on our InBody system.
Our InBody system uses bioelectrical impedance analysis. (BIA) is a method for measuring body composition, including muscle mass, body fat, and total body water. Alternating low and high-frequency electrical currents are sent through the water in the body via contact with electrodes to measure impedance. (Don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt and you will be fine to wear regular clothing, you will just be asked to remove your shoes)
The impedance is used to determine total body water (TBW), which can then be used to derive your fat-free mass—the portion of your body that does not contain fat, including your muscle and bone—and finally, body fat.
InBody measures body composition without relying on empirical assumptions based on age, sex, ethnicity, or body shape, producing accurate and precise results validated to gold-standard methods. Simply put, InBody provides individualized feedback for progress tracking to help you achieve your goals.
We will have you watch a short video or discuss information while we analyze your InBody scan. We will give you all the information about our specific medical weight loss injections as well as any potential side effects and how we also ease or treat them should they arise.
You and Dr. Dunn will then go through your InBody result, and talk about any additional supplements and weight management goals.
After talking through your wish list and treatment options, we will provide you with a curated plan. Personalized plans will include the associated cost and a schedule for continued monitoring and doses.

InBody Technology
InBody Technology
The InBody system works by using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to measure the amount of resistance your body tissues have to an electrical current. The InBody device sends a small, safe electrical current through your body and measures the resistance to the current as it travels through your muscles, organs, and fat. This information is then used to determine your body composition, including your body fat percentage, muscle mass, and other important indicators of health.
To use the InBody system, you simply stand on the device's electrodes and hold onto the handles. The test takes only a few minutes, and the results are displayed on the device's screen or can be printed out for review. The InBody system is a highly accurate and reliable way to monitor changes in your body composition over time and can help you track your progress toward your health and fitness goals.
How do medications like Semaglutides and Tirzepatides work to help weight management?
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are two medications that have been approved by the FDA for weight loss purposes. Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that works by regulating appetite and reducing food intake. It is administered once a week via injection. Tirzepatide, on the other hand, is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and GLP-1 receptor agonist that also helps to regulate appetite and lower body weight. It is administered once a month via injection. Both medications have shown promising results in clinical trials for weight loss and are being used as part of a comprehensive weight management program.
