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

About This Treatment

What It Is

You have done everything "right" — eaten well, exercised, tried every diet on the internet — and the weight still will not budge. Or it comes off and comes right back. If this is your experience, please hear this: it is not your fault. Your body is not broken. But something in your metabolism, your hormones, or your biology needs to be addressed — and that is exactly what we do at Mana Wellness and Aesthetics.

Aubrie Bair, DNP, FNP-BC approaches weight loss the way it should have been approached all along — as a medical condition with biological root causes. She evaluates your hormones, thyroid function, insulin sensitivity, inflammatory markers, and metabolic health to understand why your body is holding on to weight. Then she builds a personalized plan to change that.

Our programs may include GLP-1 receptor agonists (semaglutide, tirzepatide), hormone optimization, metabolic support, nutritional guidance, and ongoing body composition monitoring. This is not about restriction or shame. This is about giving your body what it needs to release what it has been holding on to.

Our Process

How It Works at Mana

We begin with comprehensive lab work and a thorough metabolic evaluation. Aubrie looks at your full hormone panel, fasting insulin, HbA1c, thyroid (complete panel), lipids, inflammatory markers, and vitamin levels. This is not a basic screening — it is a deep investigation into what your body is doing and why.

Your personalized protocol is built from those results. GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide may be recommended for their powerful effects on appetite regulation, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic function. If your hormones are contributing to weight gain — and they often are — Aubrie addresses that simultaneously. Nutritional guidance is practical and sustainable, not restrictive. Body composition tracking ensures you are losing fat and preserving lean muscle.

Every visit is a check-in, an adjustment, and a reassurance that you are on the right track. Aubrie celebrates your wins and problem-solves the plateaus with you.

Results

What to Expect

Most women see meaningful weight loss within the first 2 to 4 weeks, particularly with GLP-1 therapy. Monthly visits allow Aubrie to track your body composition, review any lab work, and adjust your protocol as your body changes.

Average weight loss is 1 to 2 pounds per week, though the first month often brings faster results. More importantly, you will likely notice changes in your energy, your relationship with food, your sleep, and how your clothes fit before the scale catches up.

The active weight loss phase typically runs 3 to 6 months. From there, we transition to a maintenance phase designed to protect your results, stabilize your metabolism, and ensure the weight stays off for good.

FAQ

Medical Weight Loss for Women FAQ

What are GLP-1 medications like semaglutide?

GLP-1 receptor agonists are medications that work with your body's natural hunger hormones to reduce appetite, improve insulin sensitivity, and slow gastric emptying. They are administered as a weekly injection and have been shown in clinical trials to produce significant, sustained weight loss. Aubrie determines the right medication and dose based on your health profile.

Will I feel deprived or hungry all the time?

No — that is actually the beauty of the GLP-1 approach. These medications significantly reduce appetite and cravings, so you feel satisfied with less food. Combined with nutritional guidance, most women find this program feels manageable and sustainable in a way previous diets never did.

Can hormones really be causing my weight gain?

Absolutely. Declining estrogen, low progesterone, low testosterone, thyroid dysfunction, elevated cortisol, and insulin resistance are all hormonal factors that directly cause or worsen weight gain in women. Addressing the hormonal root causes makes weight loss dramatically more effective.

I have PCOS — can you help me lose weight?

Yes. PCOS is one of the most common hormonal conditions we see in our weight loss patients. The insulin resistance, elevated androgens, and metabolic disruption of PCOS require a targeted medical approach — exactly what we provide.

What about loose skin after weight loss?

We can address skin concerns with treatments like microneedling and other skin-tightening options. Aubrie takes a whole-person approach and can incorporate skin health treatments into your wellness plan.
