Physician-Supervised GLP-1 Weight Loss.
Starting at $299/month. No membership fee. No subscription. No insurance needed. Everything included.
Most medical weight loss programs send you medication and disappear. Ours doesn’t. At The Forest Lounge, every patient receives hands-on physician care from day one — monthly monitoring, regular bloodwork, dosing adjustments, and the accountability that actually keeps you on track. This is weight loss done the way it should be.
What's Included at $299/Month
One flat monthly fee covers everything. No add-ons. No surprise charges. No membership fee on top of your medication cost.
- Weekly GLP-1 injection: Prescription physician-supervised injectable medication administered in-office weekly.
- Initial bloodwork & lab panel: Comprehensive baseline labs to evaluate your metabolic health, hormone levels, liver function, and more before treatment begins.
- Ongoing bloodwork & monitoring: Regular lab work throughout your program to track progress, catch issues early, and ensure your body is responding safely.
- Monthly physician check-ins: Face-to-face time with your doctor every month — not a nurse, not a PA, not an automated app. Real physician oversight.
- Dosing adjustments as needed: Your medication is adjusted based on how your body is actually responding — not a fixed protocol that ignores your individual progress.
- Direct Primary Care (DPC) membership: Included with your program. Gives you access to your physician for primary care needs throughout your weight loss journey — not just weight-related concerns.
- All follow-up appointments: Every follow-up visit is covered. No per-visit billing. No hidden fees for additional appointments.
Physician-guided. Lab-driven. Continuously adjusted.
How The Program Works
Step 1
Your first visit is a comprehensive evaluation with one of our physicians. We review your health history, run a full baseline lab panel, and determine whether a GLP-1 prescription is appropriate for you. We don't prescribe to everyone — we prescribe to the right patients.
Step 2
Once prescribed, you come in weekly for your injection. In-office administration means consistent dosing, proper technique, and a standing touchpoint with our care team. No shipping delays. No self-injection learning curve. No wondering if you did it right.
Step 3
Every month your physician reviews your progress, labs, and how you're feeling. Side effects get addressed. Dosing gets adjusted. Questions get answered by the person actually responsible for your care. This is the piece most programs skip — and the reason most programs fail.
Step 4
Weight loss is not linear. Plateaus happen. Hormones shift. Life gets in the way. Our physicians stay engaged throughout your entire program — not just at the beginning.When your progress changes, your plan changes with it.
Who Is A Good Candidate?
Our GLP-1 weight loss program may be appropriate for you if:
- You have a BMI of 27 or higher, especially with a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, or high cholesterol
- You have tried diet and exercise without achieving lasting results
- You want physician-supervised care, not a mail-order medication program
- You are committed to weekly in-office visits and an active role in your health
- You have struggled to maintain weight loss after previous programs due to lack of follow-up or accountability
GLP-1 therapy is not appropriate for everyone. Patients with a personal or family history of certain thyroid conditions or pancreatitis may not be eligible. Your physician will review your complete medical history before any prescription is written.
In-Office, Not Mail-Order
The growth of telehealth weight loss programs has made GLP-1 medications widely accessible, but accessible and effective are not the same thing. Studies consistently show that physician-supervised programs with regular monitoring produce significantly better outcomes than medication alone.
In-office care gives you:
- A physician who can see, hear, and assess you — not just read a form
- Immediate response when something feels wrong, without waiting for a telehealth slot
- Lab results reviewed in context by someone who knows your full history
- Accountability that comes from showing up, which research shows dramatically improves adherence
- A relationship with a practice that treats your whole health, not just your weight

No Hidden Fees.
$299 per month
No membership fee. No subscription. No insurance required.

There are no add-ons, no per-visit charges, and no membership fees stacked on top of your medication. What you see is what you pay.Many of our patients come to us specifically because other programs charged a monthly platform or membership fee in addition to the cost of medication. We don't do that. The $299 is everything.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to start the program?
No.
Our program starts at $299/month regardless of insurance status. No prior authorizations, no insurance denials, no coverage gaps.
Is this a telehealth program?
No.
This is an in-person program at our Lake Forest clinic. You come in weekly for your injection and monthly for your physician check-in. We believe in-person care produces better outcomes — and better relationships.
What is included in the monthly price?
Everything. Your weekly prescription injection, all bloodwork (initial and ongoing), all physician check-ins, all follow-up appointments, and your Direct Primary Care membership. No add-ons.
How long is the program?
There is no fixed contract length. Your physician will work with you to determine the appropriate duration based on your goals and progress. Most patients see meaningful results within the first 2–3 months.
What is the Direct Primary Care membership that's included?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a membership-based model that gives you access to your physician for primary care needs — not just weight-related concerns.
It’s included in your monthly membership, which means you have a physician relationship that covers your broader health throughout the program.
What if I have a question or concern between appointments?
As a Direct Primary Care patient you have direct access to your physician. You don’t have to wait for your next scheduled visit — you can reach your care team directly.
Is this program available for both men and women?
Yes.
GLP-1 medical weight loss is appropriate for men and women. Hormonal factors that contribute to weight gain — which differ between men and women — are also evaluated as part of your care.
What happens if I plateau?
Plateaus are a normal part of any weight loss journey. Because our physicians monitor you actively every month, we can identify a plateau early and adjust your dosing or care plan accordingly. You are never left to figure it out alone.
Do you serve patients outside of Lake Forest?
Yes.
We serve patients throughout the North Shore including
