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 Wegovy®, Ozempic®, Zepbound®, Mounjaro®, Contrave®, Qsymia®, Phentermine, and others 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 used alone.
We are committed to making high-quality medical care both accessible and affordable. While our total program and prescription fees are comparable to many “prescription-only” options, our patients receive a far more comprehensive, physician-led approach than what is typically offered by local med-spas or generic telehealth services.
In addition to this, as you progress and achieve greater stability, your ongoing investment consistently decreases to reflect reduced visit frequency, improved metabolic resilience, and sustained results.
*As some patients do not desire medication upon starting our programs, medication costs are not included in program pricing. When desired, medication pricing ranges from $0 - $130/month, depending upon the type of medication selected.
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 weight-loss programs run only 12 weeks and are designed 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 — which is exactly when most programs have already ended and the weight regain begins.
That’s why our weight-management programs at Revive Health Medical Weight Loss & Wellness span 6–12 months, offering accountability, guidance, and medical oversight well past the early motivation. This approach allows us to support you through the real-world challenges that arise later in the journey, ensuring you have the tools and strategies to stay consistent long-term.
Throughout your program, we focus on nutrition, physical activity, metabolic health, and behavioral change, tailoring your plan as your needs evolve.
At Revive Health, our goal is lasting transformation — not quick fixes. And our outcomes reflect that: 80% of patients continue with us after completing their initial 6-month program, as they recognize that our evidence-based care and sustained support are key to maintaining results for the long haul.
For those struggling with excess weight or patients desiring assistance maintaining successful weight loss, a BMI of greater or equal to 25 prior to weight loss is required.
