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 approach for you, given your medical history and past experience with weight loss attempts. If prescription medications are desired, we offer Wegovy® (also branded as Ozempic for patients with diabetes), Zepbound® (branded as Mounjaro for diabetes), Contrave®, Qsymia®, Phentermine, and others, as part of our comprehensive weight loss treatment.
We strive to make high-quality medical care accessible and affordable. Our program and prescription fees are similar to common “prescription-only” options, but with the added benefit of a much more comprehensive and effective program than is typically offered at a local med-spa or telehealth clinic. In addition to this, as your progress continues, your costs typically decrease over time to reflect your stability, reduced visit frequency, and sustained results!
Discover the life-changing impact of these revolutionary therapies, combined with personalized support to help you reach your weight loss goals.
Extensive research shows that lasting weight loss requires long-term support to achieve health goals and prevent regain.
For this reason, our weight management programs run 6-12 months to provide ongoing accountability and assistance as you regain your health. At Revive Health Medical Weight Loss & Wellness, we emphasize nutrition, physical activity, and behavioral changes, tailoring our recommendations specifically to you as your program progresses.
At Revive Health, our goal is lasting transformation — not quick fixes. That’s why 80% of patients continue with us after completing their initial 6-month program, recognizing that our evidence-based care and ongoing support are key ingredients helping them sustain their success.
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.
