Physician-Guided Results
Injectables & Advanced Therapies
Achieve sustainable weight loss with our medically-supervised programs combining advanced pharmacologic therapies and personalized care.
Losing weight is one of the most challenging health goals — especially as you age. Metabolism slows, hormones shift, and the strategies that worked in your 20s simply don't deliver the same results. Willpower and diet alone are often not enough when your biology is working against you.
At R2 Medical Clinic, our physician-supervised weight loss programs combine advanced pharmacologic therapies with personalized medical protocols and ongoing monitoring to help you achieve sustainable, medically-guided results.
All treatments require a medical evaluation and prescription by a licensed provider. Individual results vary.
Carrying excess weight significantly increases your risk for a wide range of serious medical conditions, including:
Medical weight loss doesn't just change the number on the scale — it directly reduces your risk for these life-threatening conditions and improves your overall quality of life.
Most patients who come to us have already done the obvious things. They've cut calories, added cardio, tried intermittent fasting, and watched the scale barely move. That is not a discipline problem — it is a physiology problem, and it is measurable.
As you get older, several things can change at once. Lean muscle mass tends to fall, which lowers the number of calories your body burns at rest. Insulin sensitivity can decline. And sex hormones shift — testosterone in men, and estrogen and progesterone through perimenopause and menopause in women — which can affect where the body stores fat. Which of these apply to you is a question your lab work answers, not something to assume.
This is why a program built on a single number — calories — so often stalls. A physician-supervised program starts by measuring which of these factors are actually present in you, then treats those specifically. If your thyroid is underactive or your testosterone is low, no amount of dieting corrects it. Those need to be identified and addressed on their own terms, which is why our weight loss evaluation includes a full hormone panel rather than a weigh-in.
"Medical weight loss" is used loosely, and plenty of programs that use the phrase are really a subscription and a prescription. Here is what is included at R2 Medical Clinic, so you can compare directly:
Every therapy we offer requires a medical evaluation and a prescription from a licensed provider.
R2 Medical Clinic offers a range of physician-prescribed medications and therapies proven to support meaningful weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes:
Weight and hormone health are often related rather than separate issues. In men, body fat is a site where testosterone is converted to estrogen, so body composition and hormone levels can influence one another. Low testosterone is also associated with reduced lean muscle mass. This is part of why our weight loss evaluation includes a hormone panel rather than looking at weight alone.
For men, that often means evaluating weight loss alongside testosterone replacement therapy, where lab work shows a deficiency and a provider determines it is appropriate.
For women, perimenopause and menopause can affect body composition and where fat is stored. Where appropriate, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is evaluated alongside the weight loss protocol rather than after it.
Some patients also benefit from peptide therapy to support fat metabolism and lean muscle preservation. Whether any of these apply to you is determined by your lab results and evaluation — not assumed at the outset.
Your first appointment is a consultation and work-up, not a sales visit. Nothing is prescribed before your provider has your results.

The difference is not intensity — it is whether anyone is measuring what is actually happening inside your body.
No specific outcome or benefit can be guaranteed, and individual results vary. All treatments require a medical evaluation and prescription by a licensed provider.

Medical weight loss is a physician-supervised program that treats weight as a medical issue — starting with a health evaluation and lab work, then using prescription therapies, nutrition guidance, and ongoing monitoring where appropriate. It differs from commercial diet programs, which are one-size-fits-all and not medically supervised.
Medical weight loss is a physician-supervised program that pairs prescription therapies with lab work, body-composition analysis, and ongoing monitoring. At R2 Medical Clinic in Denver, treatment is matched to your metabolism and hormones rather than a one-size-fits-all diet, and your provider adjusts the plan as you progress.
Results vary by individual, starting weight, and adherence. Patients on a physician-supervised program combined with lifestyle changes commonly see meaningful, gradual weight loss over several months. Your provider sets realistic targets for your specific situation.
Cost depends on the program you're prescribed. We're a private-pay clinic with transparent pricing and no hidden fees — call (720) 640-2333 for current pricing before you start.
When supervised by a licensed provider, medical weight loss is safe for appropriate candidates. Every patient starts with a comprehensive evaluation, and we monitor labs and response throughout treatment to manage side effects and adjust dosing.
Adults who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone, or who have weight-related health risks, are often good candidates. A consultation and lab work confirm whether the program — and which therapies — fit you.
Depending on your evaluation, your protocol may include injectable weight loss medications, targeted peptide therapies, or other physician-prescribed options that support appetite control and metabolic health. Your provider selects and doses medication based on your labs and history — never a standard package.
It varies by individual — your starting point, protocol, and consistency all matter. Progress is tracked at regular follow-up appointments with body composition analysis so your plan can be adjusted as you go. Individual results vary; no outcome is guaranteed.
At R2 Medical Clinic, 1873 S Bellaire St, Ste 1215, Denver, CO 80222 — with additional locations in Arvada/Wheat Ridge and Castle Rock, serving the greater Denver metro including Aurora.
Every patient begins with a comprehensive health evaluation including lab work, body composition analysis, and a detailed medical history review. Lab testing includes a comprehensive metabolic panel, lipid profile, HbA1c, fasting insulin, and a hormone panel covering thyroid, testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. Based on your unique profile, our physicians create a customized weight loss protocol that may include one or more pharmacologic agents and regular follow-up appointments to track progress, adjust dosing, and ensure your safety throughout the program.
