Feel Better. Move Freely. Live Fully.

Science-Backed, Woman-Centered Medical Weight Management

You deserve more than a prescription. 

Excess weight isn’t a willpower issue. It’s a chronic, multifactorial condition influenced by genetics, hormones, medications, metabolism, sleep, environment, and more.

At Vida, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all diets, rushed prescriptions, or non-FDA approved compounds. There's no quick fix. Medication can be part of the solution, but it’s not a comprehensive, sustainable solution on its own.

Instead, we provide compassionate, evidence-based care designed to treat the whole you—with personalized support that actually works with no blaming or shaming.

Comprehensive medical evaluation to uncover what's really affecting your weight—from insulin resistance to medications to menopause

Holistic Lens

We address hormones, sleep, metabolism, activity, emotional health. Muscle mass, body fat, visceral fat - not just a number on the scale, not just “calories in, calories out”

Evidence-Based Care

We follow current clinical guidelines and only use FDA-approved medications when appropriate—not compounded, non-regulated versions

More Than Just A Medication

GLP-1s (like semaglutide or tirzepatide) are used strategically—and always paired with behavior change, nutrition support, activity, support and accountability

Frequently Asked Questions

Couple cooking together

  • The medications that are advertised as having the same active ingredient as Ozempic or Wegovy are not true generics. They are compounded drugs, which means they have additional ingredients that have not been tested or approved by the FDA.  FDA-approved medications undergo extensive testing to ensure they are safe and effective for treating obesity and related conditions. Compounded versions have not.

    Other risks include:

    Inconsistent Dosing: 

    Compounded medications may have inconsistent dosages, which can lead to reduced efficacy or increased side effects. Since weight-loss medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide require precise dosing adjustments, using non-standardized versions could undermine treatment outcomes.


    Potential Safety Issues: 

    FDA-approved semaglutide and tirzepatide are backed by extensive clinical trials that assess side effects, drug interactions, and long-term safety. Compounded forms lack this level of oversight, making it difficult to ensure patient safety. 


    We prioritize your safety and health by using only FDA-approved medications that are proven to be effective and safe. Depending on your prescription coverage, FDA-approved medications are often not that much more expensive than compounded ones.
