Medical Weight Management
The Revive Advantage
As opposed to common prescription-only programs, Revive Health offers a proven, physician supported & science-backed weight management program designed to transform your health and your relationship with food in a way that is both sustainable and long-lasting, regardless of your starting point. The majority of our patients don’t need help understanding what a healthy lifestyle looks like - They need a program that supports them in executing a sustainable plan to prioritize themselves.
As an expert in Obesity Medicine, Dr. Schmitz will customize the safest and most effective treatment plan for you, taking into account your medical history, metabolic needs, and previous weight-loss experiences.
If prescription medications are desired, we offer several FDA-approved options as part of our comprehensive, physician-guided program.
For patients who prefer not to utilize medication long term, our program is intentionally designed to support that goal. By addressing the underlying contributors to weight gain - nutrition, metabolism, hormone shifts, stress, sleep, and movement, we help patients build the sustainable behaviors and physiologic improvements needed to reduce or potentially discontinue medication safely over time. Patients have the greatest long-term success when medication is paired with a comprehensive, evidence-based program rather than medication used alone.
Designed to Support You for the Long Run
Extensive research shows that lasting weight loss requires long-term support - not short bursts of enthusiasm. Many programs run only 8-12 weeks and are built around the initial “honeymoon phase,” when everything feels easier. But as time goes on, life gets busy, habits are tested, and that early momentum naturally shifts - often after those programs have already ended and weight regain begins.
That’s why our comprehensive weight management programs at Revive Health Medical Weight Loss & Wellness span 6–12 months, providing accountability, guidance, and medical oversight well beyond the early stages. This allows us to support you through real-world challenges and adapt your plan as your needs evolve.
Throughout your program, we focus on nutrition, physical activity, metabolic health, and sustainable behavior change - helping you build results that last through a hands-on partnership approach. In addition to this, our Comprehensive Programs include dedicated insurance advocacy and administrative support. Our team invests significant time navigating insurance requirements, completing prior authorizations, addressing coverage barriers, and researching cost-saving opportunities to help patients access medically appropriate medications at the lowest possible out-of-pocket cost.
At Revive Health, our goal is lasting transformation, not quick fixes. Our outcomes reflect that: 80% of patients continue with us after completing their initial 6-month program, recognizing the value of ongoing, evidence-based support.
For patients who prefer a less intensive approach or already have strong support in place for nutrition and lifestyle changes, a more simplified, medication-focused care option is also available. Our Basic Program includes brief monthly visits with a primary focus on medication management, along with appropriate medical oversight and FDA-approved medications, to ensure care remains safe and effective. Unlike our comprehensive programs, the Basic Program does not include individualized nutrition, exercise, or behavioral coaching, more frequent physician visits, unlimited between-visit support, or in-depth treatment customization.
Please note: Medication costs are separate from our monthly Basic Program fee. Similar to many medication-focused clinics, med spas, and traditional primary care settings, the Basic Program does not include extensive administrative services such as prior authorizations, insurance appeals, medication cost research, or ongoing insurance and pharmacy coordination.
Every program at Revive Health is grounded in patient safety, evidence-based medicine, and expert physician oversight. What sets our Comprehensive Programs apart is the greater depth of personalized care, ongoing guidance and accountability, dedicated insurance advocacy, and focus on medication affordability - All designed to support better long-term health outcomes while maximizing the value of your investment.

The Revive Health Difference
Evidence-based treatment. Unbiased prescribing.
Your health comes first.
At Revive Health, we prescribe only FDA-approved medications, not compounded weight loss medications. We believe your treatment should be backed by rigorous clinical evidence, established quality standards, and ongoing safety monitoring.
Unlike most weight management clinics that generate revenue from medication sales, we don't sell medications, mark up prescriptions, or profit when you start a medication or increase your dose.
Our recommendations are based on your individual health needs, treatment response, and long-term goals. Through our Comprehensive Programs, we also actively advocate for insurance coverage and affordable medication options.
Your health. Your goals. Your long-term success. That's what drives our care.
