Your Best Path

Loading your result…

Why a 15-minute phone consult? Six tools sound like a lot — the conversation is how we narrow it to ONE plan that’s right for your body. Free. No commitment. No pressure.

The Six Tools We Use for Weight Loss

One clinic, six clinically-backed tools. The quiz above maps you to the ONE most likely to work for your body. Often we combine two.

🍏 Foundation

Nutrition Reset

Custom eating plan + monthly accountability with our nutritionist. The right starting point if you’ve never had a real plan or just need someone to keep you on track.

🧬 Natural

GLP Probiotic

A targeted probiotic that supports your own gut’s natural GLP-1 production. Cuts cravings and improves satiety in 2-3 weeks. Drug-free.

Boost

Lipo B Booster Plus

Weekly B12 + lipotropic injection (MIC + amino acids) for liver fat metabolism and energy. The push for people who feel too tired to even start.

💉 Prescription

GLP-1

The most powerful clinical tool we offer. 15-22% body-weight loss over 6-12 months. Medically prescribed and monitored.

💪 Composition

Perfect Amino

Near 100% absorption essential amino acids. Protects muscle during weight loss, supports recovery, and powers metabolism. Often paired with GLP-1.

⚖️ Root Cause

Hormone Optimization (HRT)

When the real issue is perimenopause, menopause, low T, or thyroid — weight follows hormones. Lab-based protocol with BHRT, pellets, or thyroid support.

Why patients choose us

Six tools under one roof. One conversation to find yours.

Most weight loss clinics sell ONE thing — whatever they make money on. We don’t. We have all six tools in-house, and the first 15-minute phone consult is about which one (or two) actually fits you.

  • Free 15-minute phone consult — no commitment, no upsell
  • Medical team on staff — GLP-1, HRT, and Lipo B require a prescriber, and we have one
  • Real lab work, not guessing — if hormones are part of your story, we test before we prescribe
  • Combined protocols — e.g. GLP-1 + Perfect Amino to protect muscle
  • Monthly check-ins — weight loss without check-ins is how you stall

Who medical weight loss is for


Common questions about medical weight loss

Do I need a prescription for GLP-1 medications?

Yes. GLP-1 medications are prescription medications. We have a medical provider on staff who can evaluate, prescribe, and monitor your protocol. The free 15-minute phone consult tells us whether you’re a good candidate.

Is GLP Probiotic the same as GLP-1?

No. GLP Probiotic is a probiotic supplement that supports your body’s natural GLP-1 production via the gut microbiome. It’s drug-free, available without prescription, and works on a different mechanism. It’s often a great first step before considering GLP-1 medications.

Will insurance cover this?

Coverage varies. Some labs may be covered. GLP-1 medications, HRT, and most supplements are typically out-of-pocket but very reasonable. We accept HSA/FSA and offer payment plans. We verify your situation during the phone consult so there are no surprises.

How fast will I see results?

Depends on the tool. Lipo B and GLP Probiotic: 1-3 weeks for energy and craving changes. GLP-1: 4-8 weeks for visible weight loss. HRT: 6-12 weeks for full hormonal benefits. Nutrition: ongoing — it’s the foundation that makes everything else last.

Do you work with patients already on a GLP-1 medication?

Yes. Many of our patients come to us already on a GLP-1 from another provider and want to add Perfect Amino (to protect muscle), Lipo B (for energy), or HRT (because the underlying hormone issue still isn’t fixed). We can integrate with your existing protocol or take over prescribing.

Medical Weight Loss · The full picture

The 5-component CPRC weight loss program

Quick answer: Charleston Pain Relief Center’s medical weight loss is a doctor-supervised, customized 5-part plan: GLP-1 therapy, GLP-1 Probiotics, LIPO B Booster Plus (Skinny Shot), Perfect Amino, and HRT hormone optimization. Most patients lose 20–60 lbs with full clinical-team support — in-person, online, and by phone.

1. GLP-1 therapy

Once-weekly injection that quiets hunger, slows gastric emptying, and stabilizes blood sugar. The backbone of the plan for most patients.

2. GLP-1 Probiotics

Targeted gut formula that supports natural GLP-1 production and reduces nausea or constipation while you’re on injectable GLP-1.

3. LIPO B Booster Plus

The "Skinny Shot." Methionine, inositol, choline, B12, and lipotropic factors that boost metabolism and energy.

4. Perfect Amino

Complete essential aminos. Preserves lean muscle while you lose fat, curbs hunger, prevents the muscle loss that drives regain.

5. HRT hormone therapy

Locks long-term results in. Most patients who regain weight do so because their hormones were never addressed.

Frequently asked questions

Does the program use medication and injections?

Yes. The CPRC medical weight loss program uses doctor-supervised GLP-1 medication (a once-weekly injection), LIPO B Booster Plus injections, and other clinical support. Earlier site copy described a "no-medication" approach — our current program is different and significantly more effective.

How much weight will I lose?

Most patients lose 20–60 pounds total, with the majority losing 1–2 pounds per week once dosing is dialed in.

How long is the program?

The active loss phase is typically 90 days, followed by a maintenance phase. Most patients stay in maintenance with their provider for 6–12 months to keep results.

Is the clinical team available between visits?

Yes — in-person visits, weekly online check-ins, and phone support. You’re not handed a kit and left alone.

Where can I get the program?

Local-only inside roughly 7 miles of our North Charleston clinic: North Charleston, Hanahan, Daniel Island, Park Circle, Goose Creek (south), Ladson, Charleston (north), and West Ashley (east).

How do I get started?

Call 843-604-2276 or book a weight-loss call online. We review your history, run labs, and design a customized 5-component plan within two weeks.

If weight isn’t moving like it should

Sometimes the issue isn’t the diet — it’s the hormones.

If you’ve been doing the work and the scale isn’t budging, hormones are often the hidden brake. We see this every week with patients who do everything right and still can’t lose belly fat, sleep, or feel like themselves — especially in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond.

Common signs hormones are part of your weight story:

  • Stubborn belly fat that won’t move no matter what
  • Tired all the time, even after good sleep
  • Lost muscle, less strength in the gym
  • Low libido, mood dips, or feeling “flat”
  • For women: hot flashes, night sweats, irregular cycles, perimenopause / menopause symptoms
  • For men: low drive, soft erections, brain fog, loss of motivation

Many of our patients pair medical weight loss with hormone optimization therapy — and that’s when things finally move. Balanced hormones make GLP-1 medications and lifestyle changes actually work the way they’re supposed to.

Build Your Weight Loss Stack

Stack These With Weight Loss — Faster Results, Better Body

GLP-1 alone works. GLP-1 plus the right stack works faster, protects muscle, and helps you feel great while the weight comes off. Here are the five we stack most often at CPRC.

Mitochondria

Red Light Therapy

Boosts mitochondrial energy + skin tone as you lose. The reason patients say they feel BETTER mid-program instead of run-down.

10-Minute Workout

Power Plate

Whole-body vibration: 10 minutes ≈ 30-min gym session. Friendly for sore knees and bad backs. Protects lean muscle during weight loss.

Root Cause

Hormone Optimization (HRT)

When perimenopause, menopause, low T, or thyroid is driving the weight — fix the labs and the weight follows. BHRT pellets + thyroid support.

Learn more →
Flush

Lymphatic Massage

Helps your body clear the fat metabolites GLP-1 mobilizes. Patients feel lighter, less puffy, and break plateaus faster.

Gut Reset

Parasite Cleanse

Stubborn weight that won't move despite a clean diet is often a gut-load issue. Practitioner-grade cleanse — supervised, not Amazon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Medical Weight Loss FAQs — Honest Answers, No Hype

What kinds of medical weight loss do you offer at CPRC?

Six clinically-backed tools: Nutrition Reset (custom plan + nutritionist), GLP Probiotic (drug-free GLP-1 support), Lipo B Booster Plus (weekly B12 + lipotropic injection), GLP-1 medication (semaglutide / tirzepatide), Perfect Amino (muscle protection during weight loss), and Hormone Optimization. We match you to ONE primary tool on a free wellness call — often combined with one stack option.

How is CPRC medical weight loss different from buying GLP-1 online?

Three things: (1) a real provider — Kayla Blann, FNP-C — manages your dose and monitors labs; (2) we run bloodwork to make sure the medication is safe for YOU before we prescribe; (3) we treat the root cause (hormones, thyroid, gut health) alongside the medication so you keep the weight off after you stop. Online pill mills do none of that.

Do you offer compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide?

Yes — both compounded and branded options are available based on what is best for your situation, your insurance, and current FDA availability. Pricing and supply chains shift; we will quote you the most current options on your wellness call.

How much weight will I lose with GLP-1?

Clinical trials show 15–22% total body weight loss over 6–12 months when GLP-1 is combined with dietary changes. Real CPRC patients see similar results when they stick with the program — and when we stack GLP-1 with Power Plate, HRT, and Lymphatic Massage, results come faster and feel better.

Does insurance cover GLP-1 weight loss?

Sometimes — depends on your insurance, your BMI, and whether you have diabetes or related conditions. We run an insurance check for you. If insurance does not cover it, our compounded option is competitively priced and HSA/FSA eligible. We will give you straight numbers on the call — no surprises.

Do I have to inject myself? Does it hurt?

GLP-1 is a tiny weekly subcutaneous injection (smaller than an insulin needle). We teach you in clinic on day one — most patients say it is easier than they expected. If self-injecting is a hard no for you, Lipo B Booster Plus is an in-clinic weekly visit option.

How do I avoid losing muscle while losing weight?

Three moves: (1) Perfect Amino (near 100% absorption essential amino acids) protects lean mass during a calorie deficit; (2) Power Plate whole-body vibration sessions trigger muscle activation in 10 minutes — perfect for patients who can't do the gym yet; (3) Lipo B keeps energy up so you can stay active. We bake these into every GLP-1 protocol.

What are common GLP-1 side effects, and how do you manage them?

The big ones are nausea, constipation, and fatigue — usually in the first 4 weeks. We start you on the lowest dose, ramp slowly, and use IV hydration + Lipo B if you stall. Most side effects fade within 30 days. Kayla Blann adjusts your protocol week-to-week — you are never on your own with this.

What if my real problem is hormones, not calories?

It often is. Perimenopause, menopause, low testosterone, thyroid — these change how your body burns and stores fat. We run a hormone panel before locking in a weight loss plan. If hormones are the issue, BHRT pellets + thyroid support solve what GLP-1 alone can't. This is why we call HRT the "Root Cause" tool.

Why do you stack Red Light, Power Plate, and Lymphatic Massage with weight loss?

Each one accelerates a different part of the system. Red Light improves mitochondria and skin tone as you lose. Power Plate gives 30-minute-gym results in 10 minutes — friendly for sore knees and bad backs. Lymphatic Massage helps your body flush what GLP-1 mobilizes. Stack two, see twice the result.

What about a parasite cleanse — is that real or marketing?

Stubborn weight that won't move despite a clean diet is often a gut-load issue. Practitioner-grade parasite cleanse protocols (NOT the Amazon stuff) can break a plateau in 4–6 weeks. We screen, recommend, and supervise — not a one-size-fits-all over-the-counter pack.
