Medical Weight Loss for Men in West Jordan, UT | Mana Wellness and Aesthetics

About This Treatment

What It Is

You have tried the diets. You have put in the gym time. And the scale still will not move — or it moves and comes right back. That is not a discipline problem. That is a metabolic one.

At Mana Wellness and Aesthetics, medical weight loss means identifying and correcting the biological factors keeping you from results. Aubrie Bair, DNP, FNP-BC evaluates your hormones, metabolic markers, insulin sensitivity, thyroid function, and inflammatory markers to understand what your body is actually doing — then builds a protocol to change it.

Our programs may include GLP-1 receptor agonists (semaglutide, tirzepatide), hormone optimization, metabolic support, nutritional guidance, and body composition tracking. This is not a meal plan and a pep talk. This is medical intervention backed by data and delivered by a board-certified provider who monitors your progress at every step.

Our Process

How It Works at Mana

Your program begins with comprehensive lab work and a detailed metabolic assessment. Aubrie analyzes your hormones, fasting insulin, HbA1c, thyroid panel, lipids, and inflammatory markers to build a complete picture of your metabolic health.

Based on your results, she designs a personalized protocol. For many men, GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide provide powerful appetite regulation and metabolic improvement. When low testosterone or thyroid dysfunction is contributing to weight gain, those are addressed concurrently. Nutritional guidance and body composition monitoring ensure you are losing fat — not muscle. Every decision is driven by your numbers, not a generic program.

Results

What to Expect

Most men begin seeing weight loss results within the first 2 to 4 weeks, particularly with GLP-1 therapy. Monthly check-ins track your progress with body composition measurements and lab work as needed.

Expect to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week on average, though results vary based on your starting point and protocol. The goal is not just weight loss — it is metabolic transformation. Aubrie will adjust your protocol as your body changes to keep momentum moving forward.

A typical program runs 3 to 6 months for the active weight loss phase, followed by a maintenance phase designed to protect your results long-term.

FAQ

Medical Weight Loss for Men FAQ

What is semaglutide and how does it work?

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces appetite, slows gastric emptying, and improves insulin sensitivity. It is administered as a weekly injection and has been shown in clinical trials to produce significant, sustained weight loss.

Will I lose muscle on this program?

We actively work to prevent muscle loss. Aubrie monitors your body composition, optimizes your hormones (including testosterone when appropriate), and provides guidance on protein intake and resistance training to preserve lean mass during weight loss.

What happens when I reach my goal weight?

We transition you to a maintenance protocol designed to protect your results. This includes continued metabolic monitoring, potential medication tapering, and ongoing hormone optimization to keep your metabolism working in your favor.

Do I have to take GLP-1 medication forever?

Not necessarily. Many patients taper off GLP-1 medications after reaching their goals, especially when underlying metabolic and hormonal factors have been corrected. Aubrie will create a sustainable long-term plan.

How is this different from a regular diet program?

This is a medically supervised program that addresses the biological root causes of weight gain — hormones, insulin resistance, thyroid function, and metabolism — not just calories and willpower. Every protocol is based on your lab work and monitored by a board-certified provider.
